Another movie that is a must see each Christmas. I just love the subtle humor in scenes from within the movie. My absolute favorite is when Clark and Eddie are in the supermarket. Eddie keeps putting dog food into the cart and there is a point where Clark puts a package of light bulbs into the cart second before Eddie slams a bag of dog food directly on top of the light bulbs. Neither man reacts to that happening. They just keep going along. It is probably one of the must subtle and funny scenes of the whole move. This movie is also infinitely quotable. There is just so much in the movie and it endures through the years. Behind the original vacation movie this is the best one ever. Chevy Chase is certainly at the top of his game in this movie. See for yourself.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
