Watched the last half of "Santa Clause 2," half-heartedly

[capri0mni]

Some thoughts.

• Not as good as the first one.


• Just seeing David Krumboltz (the head elf, and Charlie, on Numb3rs) makes me happy.


• But yay! Mother Goddess officiated at their wedding, and she was bedecked like the sun! That made my little Paganish heart happy.


• Why is it that reindeer in Santa movies always have to be so annoyingly unreindeer-like (or even stag, hart, or white tailed deer-like, for that matter)? They're always some sort of mad pony-puppydog hybrid.


• Just once, I'd like to see a Santa-centered movie where the reindeer fly as Clement Clarke Moore wrote them:
  
  As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
  when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
  So up to the housetop, the coursers they flew,
  With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas, too.
  
  That is: along the ground most of the time, and then mounting into the air, occasionally, when needed, instead of like some sort of helicopter.


• I'd also like to see a "Santa" movie where "Santa" is recognised as being his title, not his first name. Saying: "Hello, Santa!" is like saying: "Hello, Mister!"

I'm just full of peeves tonight, aren't I?
