Via Metafilter comes this wonderful find: A memo written by flim-flam artist, (the con-man as painter), Thomas Kinkade™©, detailing ’16-points’ to keep in mind while making a film based upon his work - Thomas Kinkade’s Christmas Cottage.

I particularly like his exhortation to make the film look like ‘Barry Lyndon’; as if there’s some sort of Barry Lyndon switch on the camera. Hi Tom, little tip for ya – Kubrick was a genuine, mature, contemplative talent. You, on the other hand…are not.
Anyhew, perhaps I’m being too harsh. The fact that Chris Elliot is in the film, can only mean it is an elaborate hoax. I mean, c’mon – it’s directed by the guy that did The Mack!
