It's a Christmas film*.

* Not the ultimate one - that's A Muppet Christmas Carol. Duh.
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

I like to think about summer holidays at Christmas so I thought I'd watch Debbie Does Dallas

I was very disappointed , as travelogues go I wouldn't recommend it

I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.
