Whosoever purports to carry oneself like an angel, behaves like a beast





The title is a maxim from Blaise Pascal's "Pensées".

I just can't wait to see the movie.



Coming to a theatre near you, on December 25th, 2015, just in time for Christmas.

I kid David O. Russell and Ingenious Designs, LLC.

Still, I think I might just save my money this time around, and go see Krampus, instead.

Kind of suits my mood...
