Did Patrick Swayze's death impact sales of his christmas movie? Is it usually true that when a star dies, their movies, songs, and news articles sell in a surge? Is that what happened to Michael Jackson when he died? I thought I had talked to a store owner and they said they were stocking a lot of Michael Jackson CDs, books, and magazines.

Is it bad to have a seasonal movie if it isn't designed to become a classic? Patrick Swayze made "Christmas in Wonderland", but I had never heard anything about it. I'd thought I would have since he was so popular as an actor from Dirty Dancing. It wasn't a great movie. Some of the product placement, like the PSP, XBox 360, and iMac were really obvious and almost distracting for the game systems. The girl, Charlie, played a role of a hot ditzy blonde with a valley girl voice. That should be eliminated as an ideal girl from movies. The line "Maybe we will find them (missing siblings) at Orange Julius." and the guy thinks about it, then gets that she really wants to just eat with him. The guy didn't do anything worth getting a girl. he didn't display a fun, loving attitude, fiscal responsibility, intelligence, or even look like he took care of himself. He was kind of a downer. That was not well written.
