The old one or the Johnny Depp one?

And as to Speed, I've not seen it for a few years, but the last shot is a bit wierd, big hole in the road for some reason and loads of people 'awwing' at them on the train.

Coming Soon: National Lampoon’s Litigation Vacation
The government alleges that between March and June 2008, Laikin conspired with Dennis Barsky, who it says is listed in National Lampoon SEC filing as a consultant, to pay others, including Eduardo Rodriguez and an unnamed cooperating witness, to artificially inflate the price of the company’s shares. Justice alleges that Rodriguez enlisted a Rochester, New York stock promoter named Tim Dougherty to aid in the scheme. Dougherty was paid about $40,000 to make purchases in National Lampoon stock with the objective of driving up the stock price. “Dougherty made his purchases over the course of a number of days and used various accounts to give the false impression of a steady demand for the stock.”

Laikin, Barsky, Dougherty and Rodriguez have all face criminal charges in the matter. In convicted, Rodriguez could be sentenced to up to 80 yearsin prison; the other three could get up to 25 years.
National Lampoon is a publicly traded company !!

Too lazy to quote everyone...


-But, if you need a gift idea!

There's always the Jelly of the Month club!
The gift that keeps on giving!

-And Love Actually is awesome, so STFU!

-Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies anyways, but forgot about it being a Christmas film.

-Some of these movies mentioned seem like stretches for Christmas films... I don't think you can count Willy Wonka as a Christmas film... etc.

-It's a Wonderful life is an amazing classic! Sorry I forgot it!!! Thanks for whomever mentioned it.
