C: Cragg

Is this a typo on Cargg? if so I choo choo choose you because good things come in threes (unlike the Lonely Lumberjack who comes in trees )

Yeah, that's a typo on Cargg, and no, that's not my favourite planet, triple sun or not.

Lallor is a bit way off in terms of distance from the United Planets and the answer to the question. Sorry Quis, but Lallor is not it.

Hyneria is the only planet on the list from Farscape, but a planet where the inhabitants are all fish-like muppets with helium flatulance? Urgh, definitely not my favourite.

Guess again!

G: Geonosis

P: Pluto?

Nice to see everyone has as much success with these things as I normally do

I pick Osiris.

Geonosis is the Star Wars planet with the clones? I don't even remember what happened there, so it's not my favourite.

Pluto isn't a planet according to the International Atomic Union. So it can't be my favourite planet...

Osiris is a real planet, HD 209458 b is its actual name (I had to look that up) that's bigger than Jupiter and takes 3.5 Earth days to make an orbit around its sun. Nope, way too hot to be my favourite, although it's big!

Guess again!

Quintessa?

F: Formic

Seriously guys?

Quintessa is the Transformers race of deadly shark-like creatues. Not my cup of tea.

Formic is the home planet of the bugs in Ender's Game ( I watched the movie). It's supposed to be waterless and is more or less a huge ant hill. Not a planet I would like.

Do try again.

Nebulon?

I guess that leaves us with

N: Nebulon

LOL, trust you guys to get to the last item on the list. Yes, Nebulon, also known as Nebulos (comic) and Master (Japanese). Home of the Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters. One of my absolutely favourite Transformers series, and therefore my favourite planet.

You're up thothkins.

Never heard of it

Right, Christmas time rapidly approaches with the speed of a pimped up sleigh.

So what three movies with a Christmas component have I seen most often? Not necessarily my favourites, but ones I seem to see a lot of. You can guess up to three movies and the person who guesses the last of the three gets to do the next post.

While I was putting together the list I noticed Brazil was on it. An excellent movie that I have seen several times. Did I remember it as set around Christmas...um, no.

Scrooge
It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street

Scrooged

A Christmas Carol
It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street

No on those three. I've seen It's a Wonderful Life a few times, but he's such a moaner.

I haven't actually seen most of these, so I'll just keep guessing the ones I'm familiar with first

Mickey's Christmas Carol
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
The Muppet Christmas Carol

The Muppet's Christmas Carol is one. It's a fall back movie for those years where the Christmas spirit is obviously busy showing other people their error of their ways before me.

Home Alone
The Polar Express
Trading Places

Trading Places is on every year where I am. I imagine that Home Alone is too, but Trading Places is on later in the day so I've more chance of seeing it.

Just 1 to go.

Wow, I am being quite lucky so far! I bet the last movie will be among the last to be guessed then

Scrooge
Ernest Saves Christmas
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Could be. You're upholding the proud LW tradition nicely with none right from those three.

All I Want for Christmas
White Christmas
Scrooged

Yay! Scrooged. I don't always see it all. I sometimes don;t get to see all of what's left. But every year, without fail, it will cross my path. Generally in time for the depressing deceased homeless guy scene But don't let that put you off

There's a heart warming monologue later on that is always worth listening to.

Gremlins I remember as a fun movie, but I haven;t seen in a very long time. Die Hard movies are also always on, but don;t have the same lasting appeal for me.

Any Christmas movie with added saccharine is not something I enjoy.

As a reward for your perseverance Ibby, why don't you ask a question now?

I think any movie based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol already has a good head start for being great

Thank you thothkins, don't mind if I do.
