You may not know this about me but you might because there is a very real chance I have mentioned before that It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite movie.  It’s basically perfect and a perfect reminder that my life is pretty good.  George Bailey is one of my heroes, which I guess could be odd to say about a fictional character for some people but in my mind he is a moral ideal to aspire towards.  I would very much like to be as good of a person as he is.  Now, I will probably stop there because I can go on and on for pages about It’s a Wonderful Life and both the light and dark that inhabit it.  I won’t though, I bring it up because to me it also embodies a great deal of what I look for in a Christmas movie.  It didn’t even begin it’s life as one but has become one because it is one with cynical people and cynicism deeply embedded in it but in the end some form of hope and goodness manages to shine through.  Which is why I love Elf so much.  It’s easily my favorite Christmas movie of the past… however long it’s been.  It is a movie that works entirely because it is a cynical world inhabited by cynical people except one man who is truly earnest and sincere and just how someone who truly believes in the best in people can change things.  Her career is so different now I cannot imagine a situation where Zooey Deschanel would be cast as the cynical, hopeless one anymore.  It is the opposite of her image and that is the trap of a successful actor, we have a public image in mind and we want them to stick to it. Honestly, Zooey in Elf is like the evil opposite universe her, blonde hair, dour, hates singing.  It is a little strange to see.  None of that is my point though.  My point is I happen to like Christmas.  I like the chance to remember kindness and love.  I like good Christmas movies.  I like Elf.  I just wanted to get to talk about it and Zooey is gorgeous.  I actually love Zooey Deschanel, I find her endlessly charming.  Anyway, why don’t you go ahead and tell me what your favorite Christmas movie is down below, I am always interested in knowing things like that. Today I want to fuck Zooey Deschanel.
