{ Bad Santa }

Oh my..... um.... when the commercial says "it makes no compromises," it ain't no joke.... um... out of all the movies ever made, this is one of the very few that i personally believe you probably shouldn't let your kids see- until they're at least 25... or maybe 26... this was quite possibly the most vulgar, sick, twisted, but delightfully funny film i may have ever seen... really you say??? YES!!! when you go to see it, or rent it, or whatever... just remember, the sweetest gift you could ever give anyone is a wooden pickle covered in your own dried brown blood from where you cut yourself making it... And the most heartfelt gift would be a stuffed pink elephant left on the doorstep of the recipient while you lay there waiting to give it to him with several bullet holes through your middle.... that's all i'll say about that.... 2 wooden pickles up for Bad Santa...

This one will be remembered just as fondly as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story", just in a very different way. It apparently already holds the distinct honor of being the film in which the word "fuck" is spoken aloud the most times in the presence of children.
I can already see myself getting excited about watching this again next holiday season. Or even in the middle of July, which is when Wal-Mart seems to think it's okay to start selling X-mas crap.
I've heard rumors that the only reason Terry Zwigoff directed this film was so that he could make enough money to bring another Dan Clowes graphic novel (Ghost World, Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, David Boring) to the big screen.
If this is his idea of a "sell-out" moneymaker than I can't wait to see his uncompromising independently funded feature!
Anybody heard the same?
Any speculation as to what Clowes' novel is next to adapt?
