Author Topic: Bad Santa Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-04-2004 11:28 AM                     Ok, so I'm about 10 months late, but a friend gave me the DVD and said "watch this, you will love it, it's your kind of movie." Having never caught it when it was in the theaters, I figured what the heck. Now I am kicking myself for not seeing it theatrically. This may have been the best film of 2003. In fact, I think it is. I haven't enjoyed a movie so much in a long, long time. That first hour inparticularly left me in pain from laughing so hard. This is the kind of original film we need to see more of. Films don't have to be as obnoxious and use as many curse words as this one did, but I for one am sick to death of the same old rewritten over 40 times slop that Hollywood cranks out on 99% of their films. It's as if a movie doesn't just PERFECTLY fit together all neat and tidy and overly PC, the rewriters won't let it pass. That's the best part of this movie, there isn't a hint of political correctness in it! Billy Bob Thornton should have been nominated and won the best actor Academy Award for this role. Sean Penn certainly did not deserve it. Forget Sling Blade, this is the role BBT was born to play. This movie is flat out hilarious. 5 out of 5 stars  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-05-2004 02:27 PM                     Which version did you watch, Bad or Badder Santa?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-05-2004 03:45 PM                     It was the cheezy DVD "Badder Santa" version. Does anyone know just how much of a difference there really is between the two?  |  IP: Logged Kelly Skaggs Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Springdale UT Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-05-2004 06:37 PM                        From what I remember the only added scene in Badder Santa was the one where BBT was in the valet parking lot walking around looking for a car good enough to steal.  |  IP: Logged
