Ranking Rustys (And The Rest Of The Vacation Series!)
Tis the season...to rank stuff. This might have been the most bitter ending to any retrospective series ever. That last movie was heinous, absolutely heinous. But the first four I rather liked. Even the ones I found weaker I was able to find positives in. This seriously is slated for a reboot with Ed Helms as Rusty taking his wife (Christina Applegate I believe) on their first family vacation. Its been put on delay, so who knows when that'll happen. It would have been nice to give Anthony Michael Hall or Johnny Galecki a shot at being Rusty again and then grab a major female star to play his wife, but oh well. Why those two over the others? Well, one is the original which could draw some buzz and the other is a genuine household name television star. We'll revisit the series when we get to that. For now, here's the rankings and a bit of what's going on after this and a bit of a preview of next month. Thanks for reading and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
BONUS: Griswold Expanded Universe
While there's been no films since...well, let's forget that one....the Griswolds have popped up on two other occasions for "new" adventures and homages. This piece is to acknowledge and take a little look at them.
