This one’s very easy. Firstly because your host Mr. Asta plays a very important role in this movie and secondly because you’ll never forget the bunch of drunken people singing a horrible version of Oh Christmas Tree.

And then there’s the drunken man that pops all balloons with his cigar. Actually I’ve never seen a Christmas tree decorated with balloons before.

If you wake up with a headache because you had six or more Martinis then make sure to wear an ice bag on your head. It’s the latest fashion this Christmas eve.

And finally here are Mr. Asta’s Christmas presents. Such a lovely fire hydrant!
So I’m sure you’ve already guessed my favourite movie. If not, here’s a short piece of the movie’s dialogue:

“I’ll give you your Christmas present now if you’ll give me mine.”
“At breakfast.”
“But it’s Christmas now.”
“Breakfast.”
“What are you going to give me? I hope I don’t like it.”
“You’ll have to keep them anyway. The man at the Aquarium said that he wouldn’t take them back.”

See, that’s why I rather have a fire hydrant then some slimy fish.

And there’s also a great line for all Christmas haters in there:

“If anyone says Merry Christmas once more, I’ll kill ‘em.”

Anyway, Merry Christmas to the readers of Mr. Asta’s Movie Blog!

I’ve recently mentioned Fritz Lang’s Metropolis here. The good news is that it seems to be in the public domain and you can download it at archive.org. The bad news is that the length of 114 minutes they mention seems oddly short.
Anyway this is a good opportunity to post some more pictures from this movie.
