[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Remember the classic Lampoons Christmas Vacation movie with Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, and Randy Quaid? Well they made a made for TV sequel that will be on NBC tomorrow.

 

From the TV preview:

 

Randy Quaid reprises his fim series role as Cousin Eddie in this 2003 made for TV sequel in which he and his family are shipwrecked during a South Seas Christmas vacation.

 

Without Chase or D'Angelo this is gong to suck real bad. Hey want can I say I loved the vacation movies.

Ah, shit.

 

Way to ruin the legacy of a classic.

Yeah no kidding and the thing is the only way I found out was that I was just watching the 1st on NBC when they played an ad for it.

"They should really make a sequel to Christmas Vacation"

 

"They did, it was Vegas Vacation"

 

"No, I mean they should make a sequel to CHRISTMAS Vacation"

 

"I know, they did, I just told you - Vegas Vacation"

 

"But that's not actually a sequel to Christmas Vacation"

 

"Yes it is, they used the same people - cept the kids were different. They went to Vegas"

 

"I know that, but they should make another Christmas film."

 

"That would suck"

 

(a few weeks later)

 

"You know there's actually a sequel to Christmas Vacation"

 

"Yeah, I know, like I told you, they made Vegas Vacation"

 

"No, they actually made a christmas sequel, but with Cousin Eddie instead..

 

..don't know if I like that.."

I choose not to acknowledge the existence of this movie.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

[razazteca 0]

So, what's worse - made for TV sequels or those Disney direct-to-video animated sequels?

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Don't forget HOME ALONE 4.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

 

Any film starring FRENCH STEWART deserves its place in oblivion.

 

That INCLUDES Inspector Gadget 2! AND 1~!

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

And you know what's really fucked up? In Home Alone 4 French Stewart played the part of Marv Merchants. You know the part made famous by Daniel Stern. From Daniel Stern to French Steward if that's not a BIG drop in quality I don't know what is.

*inner monologue*

 

Did he really say that? Daniel Stern was GONE. I didn't know it at the time, but my life was errevocably changed from that moment on. Had I known my comment about French Stewart would lead to THIS, THIS knowledge, I wouldn't have said it in the first place. I could see Winnie looking at me as if to say "what are you looking at", and I didn't know...

NBC'S 'NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION 2' PREMIERES 7PM SATURDAY!

Starring Randy Quaid in his memorable film role

NBC Entertainment

 

BURBANK, Cailf. -- November 17, 2003 -- NBC's will premiere its fun-filled family holiday adventure -- "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure" on Saturday, Dec. 20 (7-9PM CT). The new movie stars Oscar and Emmy nominee Randy Quaid ("Independence Day"), who reprises his memorable role from the popular "National Lampoon Vacation" film series as Cousin Eddie.

 

Matty Simmons, who produced "National Lampoon's Animal House" and the "National Lampoon Vacation" films, is the writer and executive producer. Nick Marck ("Malcolm in the Middle," "Gilmore Girls") directs.

 

Quaid is joined by Miriam Flynn, who played his wife, Catherine, in the previous "Vacation" films. The movie also stars Dana Barron ("National Lampoon's Vacation"), Jake Thomas ("Lizzie McGuire," "Artificial Intelligence: AI"), Fred Willard ("A Mighty Wind," "Everybody Loves Raymond") and multiple Emmy Award winner Ed Asner ("Lou Grant," "Mary Tyler Moore").

 

In addition, Eric Idle of classic "Monty Python" fame makes a special cameo appearance, reprising his role from "National Lampoon's European Vacation" as a put-upon English tourist. The movie also stars Beverly Garland ("Port Charles"), Julian Stone ("General Hospital") and Sung Hi Lee ("Nurse Betty").

 

After the affable Eddie is bitten by a monkey ? his lab-mate at a nuclear-research testing facility ? his boss (Willard) tries to ward off a potential lawsuit by offering Eddie and his family an all-expense paid trip to the South Pacific for the Christmas holiday. Thrilled at the prospect of escaping chilly Chicago and finally going on a real vacation, Eddie and Catherine (Flynn) are joined by their brainy son Third (Thomas), their cousin, Audrey (Barron), a voluptuous tour guide (Hi Lee) and Eddie's crusty Uncle Nick (Asner), whose wife (Garland) has just left him for the Christmas tree delivery man.

 

But Eddie can't seem to go anywhere without causing chaos, and their dream vacation quickly turns into a tropical nightmare when the family gets shipwrecked on a South Sea island. While the hilariously inept Eddie tries valiantly to fulfill his wife's wish to just have food and shelter for Christmas, the rest of the family tries to survive the elements ? and each other ? while keeping up their yuletide spirits.

 

Just when there's hope of a rescue by wealthy Australian businessman (Stone), Eddie unintentionally sabotages the rescue efforts. Then the fate of his family is in his bungling hands as his tries to return them safely to civilization from a Christmas vacation they'll never forget.

Wonder if there will be any allusions to the father-daughter "relationship" in this one

Seeing how it's on NBC I doubt it.

Then we can only hope Fox is working on a third one...

This movie is so gonna waste comedic gods Eric Idle and Fred Willard, I mean come on fucking Randy Quaid stars in the movie.....you know it's gonna be a piece of shit.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Am I the only one who thinks the original is insanely overrated? It has its moments, but I didn't see what the big fuss was all about and I liked the first Vacation movie, so it's not like I don't care for the humor it brings to the table.

Technically Christmas Vacation was a stand alone in a ways as they changed alot. original vacation, European Vacation and Vegas Vacation were sequels to each other, they all aged accordingly in those movies where-as Christmas Vacation not only split the two kids ages much further apart but made the daughter the older one.

Fred Willard is Ric Flair. He can carry anything to a decent level. Tonight on NBC, Fred gets handed a broomstick. Let's see what he does with it.

And the movie is El Gigante & Junkyard Dog in a handicap match.

 

 

I'm actually gonna tape this movie and see how terrible it is. Maybe theres a chance it can be good.

[Ravenbomb 0]

No, Chong, I never liked Christmas Vacation. But to tell you the truth, I never liked any of the Lampoon movies

[Slayer 0]

After double checking, I noticed it strange that:

 

1. They brought back the original Aubrey, who is now 35 (albeit not bad looking at all) and thus throws the timeline and continuity into a black hole, and

 

2. Quaid only has one son (a 13 y/o) in this movie, different from the two kids he had in CV and different from however many he had in the original. I'd like to see that family tree...

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Then we can only hope Fox is working on a third one

 

"Daddy says I'm the best one at giving oral sex."

You screwed the line up.

 

And I'm a Chevy Chase fanboy, but I think a movie based around Cousin Eddie has possibilities of being hilarious. Christmas in Eddie's hands? I can settle without having any Chevy.

What?!?!

 

Randy Quaid starred in "The Wraith"!!!

 

How dare you insult the best member of the Quaid family named Randy!

[justsoyouknow 0]

The president of the company I work for is a piece of trailer trash that somehow managed to become insanely rich, yet keep his trash-ness. He goes around bragging to everyone that people tell him that he, "looks like one of the Quaid brothers".

 

...guess which one.

 

This movie will be unintentionally hilarious.

[King Kamala 0]

Fred Willard's not going alone in trying to carry this piece of shit, gotta remember Eric Idle in my opinion the funniest cast member of Monty Python. Eric Idle is a lot like John Cleese, except for Idle whored himself out to all the shit movies and John Cleese has whored himself out to mostly( Can't forget Pluto Nash or Yellowbeard) relatively decent box office hits.

They just explained in the beginning that four of the kids are with their grandma in Kansas and the oldest daughter is a stripper in Vegas.

I like all of the Vacation movies, maybe it is because Chevy is the man.
