Hello wonderful HDTGM Team!
I have something slightly embarrasing to report. I spend $5 on a physical DVD copy of DECK THE HALLS and not only watched the movie before the podcast but I EVEN LISTENED TO THE COMMENTARY TRACK with the director and Danny DeVito.
Am I Bonkers or what?
Anyway, I learned a few things from that terrible experiences. The director says that almost every scene is his favorite. The 2 "raindeer" horses used for the sled were actually Black horses that had to be painted brown to look more like fake "raindeer"?? Both Danny DeVito and the director give up less than halfway through the movie commentary track and Devito just "hmm"s and "oh"s to whatever the director says. The Director repeatedly and proudly comments that all the animated LED screen lights on the house were "REALLY DONE LIVE" and also was very dissappointed that he was unable to have the full movie credits ready before shooting was done so he would play the credits over the roof of Mr. Hall's house.
Ok ENOUGH from me about this craptastic movie. No point in watching a pointless movie 2 times other than having something to share with you i guess.
BTW if anyone wants dvd copies of this movie, Cobra, Hudson Hawk, or Fair Game, email me at daltonmania@yahoo.com
