The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause


I understand that it is a month since Christmas, but this film has angered me so much in the last two years that it deserves to be outed as a massive filmcunt. I'd also like to say fuck you BBC, you take tax payers money to fund your existence, and on the one day a year where families get to sit at home happily ignoring the debt they got themselves in for all the shit they bought that will be broken or forgotten within weeks, you decide to pay them back with this piece of horseshit? Honestly? For the last two fucking years? It must be hard getting rights to a Christmas film but there has got to be something better than this that you can use, you're the BBfuckingC. Again, fuck you. I can't even change the channel and watch something better because all that's on at that time on Christmas day is 'The Railway Children' or the Pope giving Mass or some shit. Anyway, that rant's over time to start this one.

Ed Decter and John J. Strauss. I would like to find these men and would genuinely like to punch them in their dicks for their crimes against words. How could anyone write this film and think it is worthy of the time and money needed to create a film? Actually, how could anyone write this film, look back at what they've written and not kill themselves for being the worst person since Hitler? Just like Hitler, all this film needed was someone to stand there and say "NO, stop this shit right now." and this shit could have been averted. Instead they just stood aside and let it come along and shit all over everything that is decent and human.

I've seen the first of this trilogy and there was no need for anyone to ever think that carrying this on would be a good idea. I can't even see it being successful in basic economic terms, but unfortunately all families will take their kids to the cinema to see anything Christmassy at that time of the year in an attempt to satisfy their Christmas urge and hopefully shut them up. Unfortunately it never works and they spend over an hour trying to quietly shout at their loud children whilst apologising to everyone around them. Anyone watching these films deserves torture by children though, so I guess it balances itself out.

Who decided that actors didn't even need to try anymore? No amount of money they could be paid would have convinced them that what they were doing was a good thing. Shame on them all. What makes it worse is the character of Jack Frost. His face is just so creepy and unsettling I would have felt much more comfortable sitting with my thumbs in my eyes. Even in the final scene where his 'cold heart is warmed by the magic of a hug' (seriously who the fuck came up with that idea? I'm a very accepting and liberal person but even I thought that was just too gay) His coldness melts and he's meant to look all pleasant and nice now. They just dialled the paedo-look up to eleven. What I hate more is the shitty attempt to make a sort of 'It's a Wonderful Life' plot by showing what would happen if Jack Frost became Santa. They try to make it look like he turns it into some sort of consumerist nightmare, probably in an attempt to make some sort of statement about Christmas nowadays. It's like they're trying to say we need to go back to the true spirit of Christmas. If so where the fuck was Jesus? Exactly so fuck off trying to teach kids shit.

What sort of prick tries to make people feel this angry on Christmas morning? I will never be able to fully express how much I hate this film short of going on a killing spree, taking out everyone that had anything to do with the making of that film. It's more disgusting and depraved than 'A Serbian Film'
