These movies are not bad. I quite enjoy them. Sometimes I skip the predictable endings.
What about the predictable beginning and the predictable middle part, between the beginning and the end? I usually just skip those too.
That would be the worst movie marathon ever!!
It could be interesting to cut all the movies into even pieces making one movie with the average runtime of all of them and see if it’s cohesive.
Im down Too time consuming to do tho lol Maybe I could make a python script or something lol

Of course. It lacks Joe Pesci “dressed like a chicken.”
They look a lot like the identikit romance books my mum would read. Even she didn’t know which one’s she’d read before. Be like three quarters of the way in and then go “oh, I’ve read this”.
Pretty sure ChatGPT could create those things by now, such is the limitless array of imagination on offer within.
They don’t need anything nearly as complicated as GPT LLMs . They already generate these scripts with a MS Word macro. It’s been like that for years.
Once in a while the source dictionary is updated. They sell the scripts in lots of like 20 and charge for any customized work.
I’m certain those books work the same way.
If you can think of a way that reduces work and increases profits. They are already doing it.
Amusing, but every Lee Child book is like that too! Still enjoyed them in a kinda brain-mush way
I know some people like him but Dean Koontz might as well be filling out Mad Libs for all the originality in his stories. They’re enjoyable enough for brain-mush but barely even qualify as “books.”
Christ I last read one of his in the 90s and thought the same! He must be just smearing wallpaper paste on the pages by now 😂
Fast and furious XV: The return of Naruto
Damn. Some very white Christmases in Hallmark land.
My mother and sister fucking looooove these movies, despite how low effort cookie cutter they are. My favorite game while they’re watching is “count the POC.” The last one we saw together, I got to 1.
What’s your high score?
Two.
Also 1
I love to just have them on, in the background. These movies are self-aware. The Netflix equivalent has its own universe with internal references to each other, which includes fake countries, maps, etc. I’m no joke invested in the Netflix Christmas-verse or whatever the fuck.
Hallmark is a little less fun to watch, but still quality rubbish. Everyone knows it’s over the top. The actors, producers, and writers are all in on it. I’m not saying that makes them good. They are still bad. But when you watch them knowing the content is almost intentionally cringe, it’s a bit better. With a slight shift in perspective and perhaps a bit of squinting, you can see the Christmas overtures as nothing more than satire. Last year, one movie just threw in a vague reference to Santa. No beard. No glasses. Just a guy who wore a red coat and occasionally would get 1-3 seconds on camera breaking the fourth wall. He had like one line. No gifts. No reindeer. Never interacting with the Christmas Couple. Just essentially an old dude in red. To me, that’s the height of humor. It’s like they’re just wafting a single sprig of holly over the film in the editing room. I crack up every time.
The Hallmark movies are mostly filmed in one of the whitest basic beige towns in British Columbia. It would be difficult to find someone. They do have an east Asian population but it’s small.
If they ever need a black guy on set for whatever reason, give them my info
I like free food
And since you’re already certified the paperwork will be a lot easier to push through.
Do extras count, or do they need to have a speaking part?
Here’s a fun drinking game: one shot each time a new white character appears. Happy coma!
they would never dare disrupt the cash cow with gays or queers, or atheists or ‘non christians’, or a realistic portrayal of a poor or homeless person, or too many brown persons.
I don’t know why they would do that if it’s not what the audience wants

no.
When you have that almost perfect Stable Diffusion prompt and you’re trying to figure out what you have to change to get it that last little bit.
Right in the uncanny valley! Thanks for the trip!
Nono not like that. They were talking about smartphones and flatscreen TVs.
Never saw this guy before but I like his style. Subscribed.

Well capitalism didn’t make those either

I think there were talking about choosing another channel
That’s their trademark, as soon as you see it you know it’s a Hallmark romantic, cheesy, family movie.
My grandmother loves these movies. Some channel started playing them since July and she’s basically watched and rewatched all of them by now.
Lacey Chabert 😊 Candace Cameron 😊
Those who love this kitschy schlock think it’s innovative.
Pop and stadium country are no different.

I’ve never heard someone say they wanted to listen to pop or stadium country music because it’s innovative. In fact, a hasty and anecdotal surveying of friends and neighbors says that they listen to the music because it’s easy to listen to (ie unchallenging).
Yeah they want a familiar sound they are accustomed to. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sometimes I’ll go to a fast food chain because I know exactly what to expect and I don’t have to think about it too much.
“Capitalism breeds innovation” =/= “Capitalism eliminates copying”
It’s gonna try all the things, innovative and schlock included.
If capitalism didn’t eliminate copying, then my movie downloading experience would be much easier.
They’ll eventually have the male lead in a red jacket and female lead in a dark green dress… can’t wait to see that amazing innovation /s
Just once I want a man in a red sweater and a woman in a green dress [sobs].
Marking my calendar for Febcbeb 55th.
This desire is actually what started feminism. Trust me bro
Now that would be innovative!!
