The trailers for my showing were just kind of odd. It was some low budget looking high school volleyball movie I'd never heard of and can't remember the name
Was it this?

Finally done!
SpoilerI appreciate the end message that Michael Shannon is a beautiful and wonderful man. I strongly agree with that sentiment. Also, I hate that the newscaster keeps using a stereotypical Hispanic voice whenever she says her last name.
Final thoughts: It had potential to be unbelievable, and it's apparent in the first half hour and that one iconic scene in the middle of the woods (y'all know what I'm talking about). But when Thomas Lennon shows up, it quickly goes downhill, and a lot of the cracks start to become more noticeable, especially the cinematography and editing. Could've been an ironic masterpiece, but instead, it's just a dull but dumb comedy.
SpoilerHonestly, the furry subplot is the only thing that makes the movie entertaining. I feel the movie would be way better if it just focused on Hendricks and her story, as well as the crazy characters in the furry group with only a little dash of the Lennon stuff. Basically I want Pottersville 1 1/2.

20 minutes left of the movie
SpoilerThank God we're back to the furries. Honestly, I think the movie would be so much better if it focused on that, or at least had it play a big part. It's so bizarre, but it kinda works, and it gives the film a lot more personality. Better yet, just focus on Shannon and Greer's relationship, add in some Hallmark schamltz, and you would have a glorious mess of a film. But with Thomas Lennon, it's just...ech.

Halfway through Pottersville
SpoilerSome of the charm and hokiness is starting to fade, but Ian McShane's definitely pulling a lot of weight, and I hope he gets to do something super crazy when he attempts to catch Bigfoot.

Spoiler
Sorry to say, but I feel Thomas Lennon isn't that funny in this. There are one or two weird WTF moments with him so far, especially since he has an Australian accent, but most of the time his jokes go on for way too long and feel overstretched that it's hard to laugh at how ridiculous he is.

SpoilerSo Ron Perlman is the sheriff of the town? Fucking Ron Perlman is a furry sheriff. I...I...what? Also, we get to the montage where the town gets all Bigfoot crazy and tourist trappy, and not only is there a scene of the furry club jamming and having drinks with one another (how they drink it without taking off the heads I have no idea), but there's a scene in the middle of the montage, where ShannonFoot is walking in front of a family putting up their Christmas tree, the kid spots him, and says "Merry Christmas, Bigfoot," and Shannon replies with a roar. The thing that bothers me the most is that the kid and the parents see Shannon in this shitty-ass costume, meaning at the very least some people have seen what he looks like up close, but no one in this dumb-ass town realizes, "Huh, this Bigfoot looks like a guy in a shitty costume." Why are people still thinking that he exists?
Better yet, what does this have to do with Christmas? The only Christmas-y thing is like one or two scenes of a tree, some Christmas songs, and the name of the town being the name from the alternate timeline in It's a Wonderful Life. Why make this a Christmas movie...WHY?!
Also, Thomas Lennon is in this and has an Australian accent.

Pottersville 15 minutes in
SpoilerSo drunk Michael Shannon is so depressed his wife left him for furry Ron Perlman, and in his drunken stupor, he takes some weird hairy suit thing from the general store he works at, puts on a gorilla mask, and is now leaving the general store. I knew Bigfoot played a part, but I'm glad the furry element was a surprise.
SpoilerAnd now, Shannon is awake, and there's a news report on some old black and white TV that's about 15 inches big. I'd understand why if this was a period piece, but this movie has furries, who according to Wikipedia originated in the 1980s and gained popularity in the 2000s and onwards. Why does the general store own a rinky-dinky TV from like the 70s? I don't get it!
SpoilerThey just showed a scene, where Michael Shannon is drinking from a water fountain while in the Bigfoot costume, but it's from one of those fountains that have a sculpture of a kid with his penis out, and the water is being squirted from the penis, so Michael Shannon is more or less getting a golden shower from a little boy statue. WHAT

I won't see Star Wars until tomorrow, so why not take the time and see the new Christmas classic that landed on Netflix today?
SpoilerSo I'm 10 minutes in, and I just saw a scene where Michael Shannon walks into his bedroom, and sees his wife, played by Christina Hendricks, in a bunny fursuit, and Ron Perlman, in a wolf fursuit (for some reason Michael Shannon keeps saying he's a squirrel), and both of them admit they're part of a furry club...this is gonna be a great movie.

http://deadline.com/2017/12/jumanji-welcome-to-the-jungle-amazon-prime-sneak-box-office-1202227292/
QuoteWe had been hearing throughout last weekend that Sony’s Dec. 8 sneak of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle drew sold out crowds in north of 1,200 major circuit theaters. And that was no line. Industry sources estimate that Sony grossed close to $2M from 7PM shows last Friday; a great figure during a very sleepy time at the box office.
Sell-out sneaks, especially when they’re free, are not a big deal. Read, Warner Bros. filled houses with sneaks of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword before it nosedived. But Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is different: People shelled out to see it in advance, and its B.O. demonstrates a high-level of want-to-see. Rivals are quite impressed and believe Jumanji will be the next best title at the holiday box office after Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Also keep in mind that the regular Thursday night preview for an average release is typically built on two or three showtimes. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle made its moolah off one national showtime. Jumanji 2′s gross is more than the $1.25M Wednesday night earned by Dwayne Johnson’s Baywatch (true, an R-rated crowd), but it wasn’t that far from the $3.1M preview figure of his San Andreas.
Jumanji 2‘s sneak movie ticket sales will be rolled into the pic’s total domestic cume. Sony across six days expects the Dwayne Johnson-Kevin Hart-Jack Black-Karen Gillan film to make $45M, however, industry estimates believe it could go as high as $60M. Why is that? The last time Christmas fell on a Monday was 2006, and the family go-to title at the time was Night at the Museum which cleared $67.7M in its first six days.
