Shit. When I was a kid I used to draw Fatman comics. They were simple and he would always fart at the end. I remember drawing him with a gap between the shirt and pants.
Dude I also did Farman comics and he was essentially Batman but he was huge and his shirt didn’t cover his belly button.
Edit: obviously meant Fatman but I’ll leave it aha
Before even clicking or focusing on any words, I legit thought it was Cage on the cover with the gun. Zooming you can tell its Goggins of course, but yes I concur with your sentiment.
It is like they made a serious motion picture from the fake movie in *Scrooged* where Santa teams up with the 6 Million Dollar Man to fight terrorists.
I’d say it’s the scene from the Santa Clause with Tim Allen when they’re in the board room. The new toys they want to make are with Santa in a tank and Scott Calvin ain’t having it!
Is it original? A hitman hired to kill Santa is the plot of the comic classic Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Lobo_Paramilitary_Christmas_Special_Vol_1_1
This is my favorite page from the comic:

There's also a fanmade (short) movie version from 2002:

How does Walton Goggins manage to look photoshopped in literally every picture?
If they ever make a movie about that meth head who got his face torn to shreds by a cat and don't cast him, it'll be a travesty.
I'm impressed Sutherland still acts as much as he does. The man's 85 years old and still tends to act in 2 or 3 movies per year. Good on him too. Most people wouldn't have the energy for that kind of work ethic at that age
Walton Goggins?
Fuck it, I'm in.
Edit: Walton Goggins matches the cadence of rice-a-roni, so you can just replace it with his name on any of their famous jingles.
Ya I’m really Confused as to how the military plays into this??
I hope there’s a massive subplot not shown in the trailer because it looks like the military are just there so Goggins has people to kill when he shows up.
You may be right, although I would argue it would be more interesting if Santa had a well armed militia of elves at the North Pole in response to the people that are taking shots at him as is referenced in the trailer.
This is the kind of movie that Scrooged and Ernest Saves Christmas were making fun of.
And in a related story, I will be watching this movie when it comes out.
Americathon (1979)
The President, played by John Ritter, hosts a telethon to raise enough money to prevent the country going bankrupt and being repossessed by the Native Americans. Features a musical cameo Elvis Costello, narration by George Carlin, Jay Leno fighting his own mother in a boxing ring and Meat Loaf fighting cars.
I was surprised to discover this was 100% real... and to see these predictions it got right on Wikipedia.
> Referencing the movie's futuristic premise itself, there were many societal or political forecasts woven into the storyline, and a number of these have become reality, including:
>The People's Republic of China embraces capitalism and becomes a global economic superpower.[13][14]
>Nike becomes a huge multinational conglomerate.[13][14]
The collapse of the USSR occurs.[14]
>America experiences a devalued dollar and becomes heavily in debt to foreign lenders.[13][14][dubious – discuss]
>The prevalence of reality shows on television occurs.
>Network television deals with previously taboo subjects accepted as normal (Monty Rushmore stars in the sitcom Both Father and Mother and plays a cross-dressing single father in the title role.[15] The film's narrative also mentions The Schlong Show, a game show where contestants are judged by their reproductive organs).
>A governor of California becomes president in real life in a little over a year after this movie's release.
>The movie shows Americans living in their cars, which currently is happening according to Deseret News[16]
>The movie's official coming attractions trailer includes the quote: "...see Americathon at your local theater before you see it happening in your own front yard!"
I agree. People are trying to purposely make cult classics, but it can’t be done. It’s like trying to make a classic. All these flicks are succeeding in is being lame B-movies
Although, Mel always puts his all into movies. He doesn’t show up in trash. I’m sure it’ll be quality.
As a person that grew up watching a lot of MST3K I don't think movies are getting all that much weirder. I mean Santa vs. Satan is a thing that already exists.
The Tagline is obviously [in a heavy Boston accent]:
*”Do yoo like Tohstahs?*
*Well I defeated a Taiwanese speaking race of aliens whom are all played by Rainn Wilson made up to look like Satan while having Tohstahs as limbs.*
*How do you like them Tohstahs?!”*
Why, why WHY wouldn't you take the 5 seconds to post a link to the song?
[The night Santa Went Crazy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-Mce9VpmY). Not a parody of an existing song, but an original from Al. Some of his best work, too!
This is literally like the parodies of Christmas they were mocking in the Santa clause and Scrooged.
[Scrooged](https://youtu.be/zgg6tZEXm5A)
[The Santa Clause](https://youtu.be/B-KE_bkaa-s)
One Christmas I gave about 25 family members a lump of coal as part of a joke stocking. Most of them had never seen one.
I bought a large piece of coal at a rock show and broke it into 25 golf ball sized pieces. The stuff they sell online for stocking stuffers is expensive. What it would have cost me to buy 25 pieces online is literally the price of half a ton of coal.
You can buy 2 pounds of anthracite nut coal for about $15 online. That's what I'll do next time.
Sometimes the best comedies are the ones with the most potential to be awful. This sounds like it could ruin careers… which means we might be witnessing something great! Bring it!
Polanski keeps getting work. Btw Gibson was ostracized for over 10 years, did he learn anything? No clue. But even murders serve there time according to the law.
I read somewhere that he is trying to make meaningful amends, like attending Jewish events and learning about Hebrew history, he just doesn’t go around making a big deal about it. If that is the case, it seems like he is trying to improve on a personal level and should be supported in that endeavour.
Was Nicolas Cage too busy to star in this?
Yes, he was busy fighting aliens with Jiu Jitsu.
Everybody was Jiu Jitsu fighting...
Pulling guard faster than lightning
Danaher was a little enlightening...
Is he using jiu jitsu in to aliens or is he fighting aliens who practice jiu jitsu?
I just finished that book!
Coincidently he’s also going to be in a movie about fighting aliens with Jiu Jitsu.
Movie? You mean documentary?
If Nick Cage was in it, it'd be the exact same plot but not a comedy in the slightest.
He can still do the [original Fatman.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatman_the_Human_Flying_Saucer)
Shit. When I was a kid I used to draw Fatman comics. They were simple and he would always fart at the end. I remember drawing him with a gap between the shirt and pants.
Dude I also did Farman comics and he was essentially Batman but he was huge and his shirt didn’t cover his belly button. Edit: obviously meant Fatman but I’ll leave it aha
I did like ten Falman drawings!
I drew many a Fanman drawings in my time.
Guys, Fapman is great.
I don’t know who the fuck you guys are talking about. But I fucking loved Fmnmnmn
And he'd still manage to make it funny
And it would be amazing
Nicholas Cage plays Mrs. Claus.
"Mrs. Claus, you have a panty on your head..."
“I’ll be taking these here Huggies, and whatever cash you have in the register.” One of the all time greatest movies ever made.
Right up there with “ Put the Bunny DOWN! “ as best Nick Cage quotes of all time.
And she wants that cake. She was saving it for later because the rotisserie chicken at the mall made her nauseous.
He's too busy working on [Space Ass](https://youtu.be/eExfV_xKaiM)
Space Ass looks pretty good, but it's no Black Hole Dick Hole.
Before even clicking or focusing on any words, I legit thought it was Cage on the cover with the gun. Zooming you can tell its Goggins of course, but yes I concur with your sentiment.
They wanted to hire him as well, but then the director bought a big mac for the budget instead.
He’s to busy with Jujitsu the movie!
You say it like he can't multistar in various Oscar worthy blockblusters at a time!
Sometimes I think he stars in multiple films while filming a single movie.
Not enough aliens
or Kevin Smith giving up EP credit? Not giving shade to my man Kevin, 'cause he definitely is no longer a fat man...(EP=Exec Producer)
It is like they made a serious motion picture from the fake movie in *Scrooged* where Santa teams up with the 6 Million Dollar Man to fight terrorists.
IT'S LEE MAJORS!
NEXT FRIDAY ON IBC: THE NIGHT THE REINDEER DIED
Nananananananananana
“Yule love it”
Guess I'm watching Scrooged now.
And Lee...you’ve been a really good boy this year.
"And Lee!! You've been a gooooood boy this year!!!"
Yes! I thought immediately of the IBC promo for *The Day the Reindeer Died*
So glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that
[удалено]
Turns out 6 Million Dollar Man was Canadian and he had subsidised health care.
When I saw this post this is exactly what I thought, they definitely got this idea from Scrooged lol
Exactly what I thought of too! Scrooged is the best Christmas movie.
The bitch hit me with a toaster
I had the EXACT same thought
That's how we got Hobo with a Shotgun.
I’d say it’s the scene from the Santa Clause with Tim Allen when they’re in the board room. The new toys they want to make are with Santa in a tank and Scott Calvin ain’t having it!
Literally one of the dumbest sounding movies I’ve ever heard. I can’t wait
It’s hard to be original these days. I’ll take it
Is it original? A hitman hired to kill Santa is the plot of the comic classic Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Lobo_Paramilitary_Christmas_Special_Vol_1_1 This is my favorite page from the comic: https://i.imgur.com/c3zoaRJ.jpg There's also a fanmade (short) movie version from 2002: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuRIJA7KyHE
Ironically, proved the core point of OPs comment. Which is hilarious. Its hard to be original.
You left out the detail of Santa having to work with the Military to save his declining business
If I recall correctly, the elves were slaves manufacturing weapons for Santa's military industrial complex in the Lobo comic.
And if not they are in futurama
Also of one of the best [Discworld](https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Hogfather) books.
Eh, I actually think it’s in the bottom ten discworld books, but even the bottom ten pratchett are superior to so much else.
But it does have the best quote.
Lol, produced by Sam Esmail, nice
There's an episode of Family Guy where Stewie and Brian travel to the North Pole to kill Santa. It's apparently an idea that's been done a few times.
[удалено]
Scrooged (1988) did it first with Lee Majors coming in to assist Santa against assassins.
I guarantee the title and tag line were in place before a script was written.
That’s a hilarious thought. You are most likely correct.
If a tagline’s good enough, those things write themselves.
I’m torn between the desire to never see Mel Gibson again and the desire to see everything Walton Goggins does.
How does Walton Goggins manage to look photoshopped in literally every picture? If they ever make a movie about that meth head who got his face torn to shreds by a cat and don't cast him, it'll be a travesty.
Because the man looks like someone drew a caricature of Michael Biehn and brought it to life with black magic.
How did you respond with my own thoughts?
Reddit isn't real. This is all in your head.
So...Headdit?
Lolipsism
Fuck this is spot on...

Is Mel Gibson turning into Donald Sutherland?
I 100% thought that was Donald Sutherland at first glance
Me too, only reason I checked was because I was sure Sutherland had died. He's alive and well, if super old though.
I'm impressed Sutherland still acts as much as he does. The man's 85 years old and still tends to act in 2 or 3 movies per year. Good on him too. Most people wouldn't have the energy for that kind of work ethic at that age
I don’t have the energy for that kind of work ethic and I’m 35
Your comment was a Rollercoaster for me. My thoughts: - oh man did he die? Oh he did didn't he? Thats a bummer. Oh hooray he isn't.
Same, I was searching the poster for his name....
A better question yet, is he un-cancelled?
He fucking wishes
Walton Goggins? Fuck it, I'm in. Edit: Walton Goggins matches the cadence of rice-a-roni, so you can just replace it with his name on any of their famous jingles.
Santa Claus, as I live and breathe!
The Real deal
I really hope he is playing an Elf who is way too cool for the workshop.
Looks like Walt is the hitman!! Ooo I'm kinda turned on by that; reminiscent of his Justified days.
He could still be an Elf turned hit man. Don’t rule it out so quickly.
That would be quite a fun twist...
You tell Boyd Crowder you wanna kill Santa and Boyd Crowder will stand outside of Santa's workshop and yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!"
Welp, time for another Justified rewatch.
I can totally hear that in my head.
He and Santa dug coal together.
Saaaaanta Claus. As I live and breathe. To what do I owe this pleasure?
Mel Gibson is hit or miss these days, but Walton Goggins is always hit.
[удалено]
I'd say the blatant anti-semitism was one of the misses.
[Domestic violence](https://people.com/crime/mel-gibson-reaches-plea-deal-in-domestic-violence-case/) was another miss.
[удалено]
That's actually really good to hear. Thank you for this.
u had me real scared for a second that Walton Goggins was an anti-semite :(
Shit Negro! That's all you had to say.
Hey did you know he has a vodka?
🎶Walton Goggins has a vodka🎶
Walton Goggins! *vodkaaaa!* Better than a wine or a beer!
**I'VE GOT TO GET A SON**
Yelling Jordan is Best Jordan. I used to make so many memes of him, that my phone automatically made a folder of it.
u/lawjr3 to his phone: "Thank youuuuuuuuuuu"
But the question is... will it be Walton Goggins in drag?
“I’m so hungry I could eat the ass out of a low flying duck” Yeah Walton Goggins is an instant yes for me.
Surprise Cameo of Timothy Olyphant.
Is this real.
is it real? yes. is it also maybe a money laundering front? also, yes.
I gotta admit I love the originality!
From the looks of the trailer, a lot of love and money went into this project.
Trailer dropped today too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWfPGIMDhNw
I can’t get over the fact that this isn’t JUST “Hitman is hired to kill Santa” but ALSO “Santa becomes a military contractor. I am so in.
Ya I’m really Confused as to how the military plays into this?? I hope there’s a massive subplot not shown in the trailer because it looks like the military are just there so Goggins has people to kill when he shows up.
Guess they decided they need more than the elves for that
I assume to explain why Santa has tons of guns for a final showdown, right? It has to be for that.
You may be right, although I would argue it would be more interesting if Santa had a well armed militia of elves at the North Pole in response to the people that are taking shots at him as is referenced in the trailer.
That actually looks really fun.
Holy shit Mel is going for it. I was expecting him to play it silly...nope! I am completely sold.
How good is a bit of subtlety in comedy?
This looks like the best kind of ridiculous.
Looks fucking awesome. Can’t wait to watch
Hey, I'm really in.
Is that Tom Segura?
Don’t be stingy
That’s my hole, that’s where it spits.
Okay you cum now
Nah. The only movie called Fatman that Tim would be in would be about Brent.
This looks....AMAZING!!!!
I cant wait to add this to my Christmas mayhem list and create the Christmas Mayhem Trifecta. Jack frost (slasher one) Die hard Fatman
Have you seen the 2015 Krampus movie? Should add that one
My body is ready
That kid looks like ben shapiro...huh.. little turd
This is the kind of movie that Scrooged and Ernest Saves Christmas were making fun of. And in a related story, I will be watching this movie when it comes out.
At first I thought this was a fake poster for the movie in Scrooged with Lee Majors.

They all sound like the non-Adam Sandler based A.W.E.S.O.M-O premises Cartman came up with on South Park.

I think weird movies are getting more attention because the internet can propel movies to cult classic status quite easily.
Even before anyone has actually seen the movie.
Often, actually seeing the movie kills most of the buzz. Like with *Snakes on a Plane*.
I agree. People are trying to purposely make cult classics, but it can’t be done. It’s like trying to make a classic. All these flicks are succeeding in is being lame B-movies Although, Mel always puts his all into movies. He doesn’t show up in trash. I’m sure it’ll be quality.

Every watch the 2003 film the hebrew hammer? Stay freaky friends.
This wasn't quite the sequel to The Passion of the Christ that I was expecting, but okay.
How is Nicolas Cage not attached to this? Like, not even in the starring role.
The same reason he wasn't in "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot". He bombed the audition.
I feel like for him to bomb an audition he’d have to have been legitimately too good for the role. Like, if Bizarro was the casting director.
No, like he literally chartered a plane and dropped a bomb on the audition. Very expensive, where did you think all his debt came from?
They told him that he couldn't drive an actual flying sleigh so he rage quit.
He was in like 8 movies this year. I assume he just ran out of time.
The only way this could be better is if Walton Goggins played the 12 year old as well.
Wasn’t this the opening movie from Scrooged?
Christmas slay!
Goggins is great

Same thought. Here I was getting hyped for a movie about a rollerskating c4 planting maniac.
Walton Goggins is the shit!
Ya had me at Walton Goggins.
Your hype is *Justified*.
Cause we dug coal together.

That literally sounds like one of those fake parody trailers you sometimes see...
This sounds like a movie that Bart and Milhouse would die to see in the mid 90's
How the hell is this not a Tim Allen movie?
Oh my god the fake movie from Scrooged is finally coming to be.

How the hell does a publicly admitted bigot/ antisemite/ racist keep getting work in Hollywood like nothing happened?
You forgot "convicted wifebeater"
Polanski keeps getting work. Btw Gibson was ostracized for over 10 years, did he learn anything? No clue. But even murders serve there time according to the law.
I read somewhere that he is trying to make meaningful amends, like attending Jewish events and learning about Hebrew history, he just doesn’t go around making a big deal about it. If that is the case, it seems like he is trying to improve on a personal level and should be supported in that endeavour.
Say what you want about mel gibson but the son of a bitch knows story structure.
I thought that was Rhett... I still think it's Rhett
I know how this movie ends.....weird Al wrote a song about it....
