This movie is so fluffy in so many ways, but it also calls society out on the way soldiers are treated both in and out of the army, and particularly how they were treated after World War II. My one serious note on this movie is that I find some of the post-war commentary fascinating. Seriously – from her rehearsal leotard to her dazzling Christmas gown, her pajamas to her winter coats, I want her entire wardrobe! Vera-Ellen is such a talented dancer and I absolutely want every single thing she wears in this movie. Bing Crosby has a voice I could melt for and Rosemary Clooney is the perfect torch singer to pair with him musically. Danny Kaye’s physicality makes me laugh as much as it impresses me. (But realistically, if you are reading my blog, you probably do watch Christmas movies and so you have no excuse to not watch it.) It’s totally worth watching even if you hate Christmas movies. I’m not going to recap this one because seriously, if you haven’t seen it, you should. It manages to hit all the big Christmas movie tropes without feeling tropey – probably because it did it before they were tropes! It’s hope and love and goodwill towards men all wrapped up with a festive velvet red bow. It’s got good music, pretty costumes, fluffy romances achieved through complications that should have been easily avoidable, and everyone having the best intentions. White Christmas isn’t actually my favorite Christmas movie, but it is basically what I consider the epitome of a perfect Christmas movie. This year, I started about a week early and it wasn’t first, but I still watched it on Black Friday and considered it the kickoff to the Christmas season, movie and otherwise. Most years it’s the first Christmas movie I watch in the season (and, as should be evident from this blog even existing, I watch a lot of Christmas movies during the season). However it does have me wondering if maybe the hub is sending spurious transmissions or something and causing the flicker.Īll of this recent episode started happening about a day after a power outage.Every year, I watch White Christmas (1954) on the day after Thanksgiving. My answer to that was just to finally buy insteon modules and dump X10. I noticed that the hub (2242) wouldn't control X10 anymore. I had just a few plug in lamp modules remaining. Interestingly enough this recent episode seems to have coincided with my hub no longer working with X10. The fireplace switch doesn't seem to flicker nearly as much as the two in the bathroom. A few weeks after these started flickering, I'm noticing the other one (fireplace lights) started acting up again. They were bought and installed at the same time. And then one day, they both started flickering. The other two were working fine for quite a while. And when I reconnected it, it didn't flicker anymore. I had removed it from the wall to troubleshoot. It will happen when I'm home alone and haven't touched anything in a while. This doesn't appear to be related to insteon traffic. None of my other insteon devices flicker. they've all got the intermittent flicker issue. I have 3 dual band switchlincs all on the same FW. I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but did anyone ever come up with a resolution to this problem?
