The U.K.'s Channel 4, which has a history of offering alternatives to the Queen's Christmas message, invited Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to deliver this year's Christmas speech to Britons. A disgraceful choice on several levels, but it did inspire Mark Steyn to come up with one of the great post titles of all time: Feliz'dinejad.

The US Federal Reserve has granted General Motors Acceptance Corporation ’ s application to become a bank holding company, giving GMAC, too, access to what ’ s left of the $700 billion TARP fund. GMAC can use the money to help their dealers with floorplanning (financing cars and trucks dealers buy from GM) and, it ’ s hoped, with loans to consumers to buy new - and even used, depending on the dealer - GM cars and trucks.

I ’ m enormously tired of watching Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston do press for this film, as if they ’ re vying for most annoying acting pair in America. If you missed it, a CBS reporter who interviewed the two analyzed their responses as part of his report. Wilson seems like he ’ s protecting Aniston! Jennifer puts a hand on his knee to stop him from cutting her off!

Road to Bali Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour team up in their sixth “ Road ” picture, Road to Bali, which was the only film in the series to be shot in color. Hope and Crosby star as two out-of-work vaudeville performers who are on the lam. The two are hired by a South Seas prince as deep-sea divers in order to recover a buried treasure. They meet beautiful Princess Lala (Lamour) and vie for her affections. Of course, the boys run into the usual perils such as cannibals, a giant squid, and numerous cameos from some of Hollywood ’ s biggest stars. 1952/Color/NR/91 minutes

The excellent cast is filled out by Alan Rickman as the villainous Judge Turpin, Timothy Spall as his seedy Beadle, Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) as a rival barber, Jamie Campbell Bower as the young lover Anthony, Jayne Wisener as his object of affection, and Ed Sanders as the young Toby. For fans of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp who don ’ t think they like musicals, Sweeney Todd should be a revelation (though not for the squamish, as the gore is intense and completely appropriate). For fans of Broadway and Sondheim, it ’ s hard to imagine getting a better adaptation than this. The fact that there ’ s no newly composed Oscar-bait song sung by a Josh Groban-type over the end credits only makes it better. – David Horiuchi

But those were rarities until Watergate. Ever since, every president has been called to talk with the authorities, either as a witness or a subject. Gerald Ford provided videotaped testimony in the trial of a woman who tried to assassinate him. Jimmy Carter gave depositions or testimony in several proceedings against others. After leaving office Ronald Reagan provided videotaped testimony in the Iran-contra trial of an aide while George H. W. Bush was interviewed about the scandal while still vice president.

Kate Winslet joins Bebe Neuwirth and Nicole Kidman in making apologetic movies about older women seducing teenaged (or younger) boys. Let me reiterate my position: If only the women who seduced teenaged boys in real life looked like Kate Winslet, Bebe Neuwirth and Nicole Kidman, there would be little complaining. (Via Instapundit.)

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Another melancholy Christmas melody, originally performed by Joni Mitchell, has quickly grown on me. The track has been covered many many times - (do an itunes search for "Joni Mitchell River" for more) - I also enjoy the version by Travis, though there are also versions out there by Sara Bareilles, Sarah Mclachlan, Herbie Hancock, Keri Noble, James Taylor, and more. Joni rocks.

“ The Reader ” is a surprisingly ineffective film when approached on an emotional level, as if director Stephen Daldry and adapter David Hare are very consciously trying to keep the viewer at arms length, but Fiennes and Winslet are doing such quality work that it merits recommendation just as an acting exercise. Just as the great work by Michael Sheen and Frank Langella elevate “ Frost/Nixon ” to a recommendation despite the film ’ s flaws, “ The Reader ” could have been a better film but its two leads are perfect.

One of the other subplots starting to develop in the video is the story of Forrest Griffin and Wanderlei Silva hanging out with each other. Griffin spent much of last week training at Silva's new gym in Las Vegas. It almost appears as if the two drove together to the presser. All of this becomes interesting next year because it's a virtual lock that if Silva beats Jackson and Griffin downs Rashad Evans, they will meet in early 2009 for the light heavyweight title.
