There’s no Christmas present quite like a 4-1 win over the Leafs. Fa la la la la la la la la.

Been watchin’ some movies. Not much else to do when it’s a squall out there.
The Illusionist (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was hard to like at first, and didn’t exactly thrill me with the ending, but in between it was pretty good. There was a very particular style to the film that I had to adjust to — the visual effect of being shot through amber, the simulated screen wipes that made the film look decades-old, etc. — but once I did, and I got into the film, it wasn’t bad. Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti are just good in anything, and pretty much made up for the useless Jessica Biel. It’s worth a watch.
Flags Of Our Fathers (imdb | rotten tomatoes) and…meh. I don’t know; I like war movies, and it was well done, but it was the same well-done war movie I’ve liked about six times in the past six years. I always compare them to Band Of Brothers, and they never stack up. Worth seeing, but there certainly won’t be anything shocking in it for you.

Especially after the 6 lumps of coal the Habs were given.
Why were they given coal? ‘Cause they whipped the Leafs? ‘Cause really, they’d get public support on that one, and Santa’s a populist…
Cause they lost 6 in a row at home. BUt they did beat the Leafs decidedly.
Ah, I see.
