but it’s Christmas now

December 20th, 2005 at 22:08 (1930s)

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!

beard and genuine foxine

December 15th, 2005 at 15:30 (1930s)

I wonder why in the few Hollywood movies, that feature a bearded main character, this actor always shaves his beard after a woman convinced him that he would look much better without a beard. Usually he doesn’t.
Here’s another movie that features a bearded attorney living in Budapest, Hungary. While he gets his shave the woman, who is responsible for this crude act, goes shopping for some genuine foxine (note the sign that obviously shows she’s in a large department store in Budapest…ha ha ha)

What’s the name of the movie we’re looking for today and what’s the name of the attorney who’s so happy about a pencil sharpener he thought the foxine woman has delivered him. Actually she just got it from the delivery boy while searching for our hero in the entrance of his appartment.
