There should be a class on how not to make films based solely on the existance of this thing!


Have you got time to kill this holiday season? Are you currently at home from school or whatever with nothing to do? Are you sick of watching the same holiday specials over and over again? If yes, visit Vinnie Rattolle's page RIGHT NOW! I've got one more holiday themed post coming up but nothing competes with the Star Wars Holiday Special! To note, you'll probably never want to watch this again after you've seen it once and please, whatever you do, don't take any mind-altering substances while watching this, it will likely ruin you forever! I don't know which cut of this he's uploaded as there are two versions circulating, but either way it's worth your time.

Just in case you're wondering about the two versions, a bootleg tape with commercials from whatever channel it was aired on is probably the most common version. The commercials are almost more entertaining than the special, although it should be noted the special itself is entertaining for all the wrong reasons. That version looks like it was sourced from an over thirty year old video cassette, which it was, although there is another version floating around that purportedly comes from an unused (or at least not destroyed) tape sent to a television network to be aired. It's quality is ridiculously improved, but in all honesty, I don't know if anyone other than the die-hardest of Star Wars fans were hoping for an improved quality copy of this train wreck. Hell, it's got Bea Arthur (RIP) singing in Greedo's bar!

Due to time limitations, there will be one more holiday themed post this week and that's gonna be it until after Christmas. Sorry guys, simply too much crap going on right now for me to give you proper posts, so I'll wait 'til after the holiday to get back to business, which includes an end-of-year mixtape.


SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO TO VINNIE'S SITE NOW!!!



PS - In case you really wanna know more about the monstrosity that is the Star Wars Holiday Special, go here, here or here. It's actually more interesting than the film itself. Oh yeah, crazy bloated overweight needing gastric bypass surgery props (that's not intended to offend anyone by the way) going out to Vinnie Rattolle for posting the video! Yeah, it's awful, but everyone should see it at least once in their lifetime. For better or worse, it's unforgettable!
