I've never seen Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Perhaps this year will fianlly be the one where I watch it, as every year someone mentions they're going to see this film.
Of course, they're my two favourite Christmas films to consider, The Muppets Christmas Carol (the absolute best version of Dickens' story) and Die Hard.
Also, I'm planning to go to the movies on Christmas Eve as well, which used to happen every year when I was growing up. Not to mention that at the moment I try to go the the movies every week or two to check out the latest releases.
As for 3D films, I figured they were going to be a fad from the get-go. They didn't take in the 50's, nor in the 80's...they're not going to last. I've seen a few films in 3D, but I've never been a big fan of the experience.
I remember watching Thor and when debris flew at the screen it looked a mess. Not to mention that the glasses are so tinted, the picture looks darky and muddy (I always wondered why 3D features weren't played at a higher contrast to compensate)
That being said, I continue to go watch them, and sometimes they do alright (the re-release of The Lion King was good, beacuse it added depth, without being swamped by effects) and when Star Wars Episode I comes out in 3D in the new year, I'll see that...couldn't keep me away (yes, I'm sad)
So overall, I'm not a fan of 3D films, but I'll watch one happily enough and I've taken the philosophy of making the most of it while it lasts.
