I don’t know why I insist on drawing strips where people blow chunks on Thanksgiving, but I guess that’s how I subconsciously interpret the holiday – Stuffing your face until you puke.

I should add that I do not speak from experience in this matter. Carrot sticks only for me, please!

In advance of the Thanksgiving holiday, a bunch of movies have landed in theaters today. Four Christmases is among them. I certainly don’t begrudge an Academy Award winner from taking a straight paycheck movie from time to time. Certainly we all have to pay the bills. But it does seem a tad wasteful to have FIVE Academy Award winners in a movie that is tantamount to Fred Clause 2. Personally, I think they should play up the fact that they have this level of talent in their movie with the marketing. “This holiday season, see the movie with five Academy Award winning actors… A movie that will tug at your heartstrings and teach you the importance… of family… FOUR CHRISTMASES! Hey, hey, hey, hey!”

That said, Vince Vaughn is really the only draw on this movie for me. I guess I’m just a sucker for that whip-smart improvising he does from movie to movie. He’s really a unique brand. When you think about how he launched this fast-talking smart aleck persona in Swingers over 10 years ago and how he tried to bury it in movies like A Cool, Dry Place, Return to Paradise and The Cell it really makes you think about what a dumb move that was since he decided to bring it out of mothballs for Old School and crystallize it for Wedding Crashers. The dude has never been more successful! You’d feel cheated if you went to a Vince Vaughn movie and he didn’t act like that!

So, yeah. I’m a Vince Vaughn fan.

Not much else to talk about today. If you’re here in the states, have a safe and happy holiday and I’ll see you here on Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving!
