Will Ferrell is a really nice guy, and his serious or nuanced stuff is really bloody good. And I get why people like Elf in a cult comedy type of way. But to me, like most of his comedies, Elf is inane crap. He doesn’t do set ups and punchlines, he does gibberish and silly stuff. Funny to some, but best Xmas movie? Fuck that. Ferrell has absolutely nothing on Chevy Chase.

Can’t see it mentioned but can I give a shout out to War Game which is an animation about the Christmas Day WW1 football game many of you will know of. I watch it with my students every year and they’re often moved by it, which with today’s generation is pretty rare.
