And for those FFS members who recall the halcyon days of 2008, what holiday classic could better inaugurate our yuletide festivities than The Spirit, originally released on Christmas Day of that year? The Spirit is the story of a deranged, alternate-universe Santa Claus (Samuel L. Jackson) who repurposes his elf helpers into a private army and relocates his operation from the North Pole to a dichromatic film noir gangland in a generic American metropolis. When this psychotic Santa (who has eight of everything) threatens to take over the world, it's up to an international consortium of strike force operatives led by two renegade elves (Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson) to remind him of the true meaning of Christmas. |
