When Christmas goes awry . . .

[dean_martin]

Christmas on film is not always full of cheer. Sometimes the disappointment it brings sets off a downward spiral of depravity, to wit: John Waters' "Female Trouble".

Dawn Davenport: WHAT are THESE?
Mrs. Davenport: Those are your new shoes, Dawn!
Dawn Davenport: Those aren't the right kind, I told you cha cha heels, black ones!
Mr. Davenport: Nice girls don't wear cha cha heels!
Dawn Davenport: Gimmie those presents, I'll never wear those ugly shoes! I told you the kind I wanted! You ruined my Christmas!
[stomps the Xmas presents]
Mrs. Davenport: Please, Dawn! Not on Christmas!
Dawn Davenport: Get off me, you ugly witch!
[pushes mother into the Xmas tree]
Mr. Davenport: Dawn Davenport, are you crazy, look at your mother!
Dawn Davenport: Get off me... LAY OFF ME! I hate you, f*ck you! F*ck you both, you awful people! You're not my parents! I hate you, I hate this house, and I hate Christmas!
Mrs. Davenport: Not on Christmas! Not on Christmas!

Remember, refill those prescriptions before the pharmacy closes. Here's to a cheerful holiday season!

The classic was Gremlins. To think dad bolted on the family only to find he'd died trying to get down the chiminey... kinda effed up if'n you ask me.
