Inspired by an online group conversation, "XMAS BALLS in the Twenty-First Century" is a modern, totally updated movie concept based upon the 1988 Sutro Tower Video movie, "Xmas Balls." (Note: if you don't have it or haven't seen it, it is not available on Netflix, nor likely ever to be.)
Originally I thought these web pages might provide inspiration for an updated version of "Xmas Balls," but why challenge perfection?
The easiest way to follow the evolution of this project, my obsession of several days a few years ago (2004), is to read the story and go through the pages chronologically. However, a full listing of pages is below.
Xmas Balls takes place in the not-to-distant present. Patriot Act 56 passed both houses of Congress last year, requiring computer tracking chips to be implanted into all African-American citizens, as they have been determined to be one of the 12 big terrorist groups that pose a threat to the "freedoms" of the United States. But the worst of the 12 groups is the notorious Middle East/South American "Al Coffee."
During the new "Age of Enlightenment" which began during the Ronald Reagan regime in the United States, mostly because corporate mergers were in vogue, Jesus Christ Inc. And Santa Claus Inc. had merged into one genetically modified holiday megacorp named "Jesus Claus, the Santi-Christ." One thing this merger helped do was keep the religious symbolism of the Xmas season intact during the really important parts of the season, when we love to do our shopping, shopping, and last minute shopping. (But woe, who could have foreseen the present economic collapse that keeps us out of our stores?)
By 2004, when this was created, not all was well in this New Age of Enlightenment. Terrorists were on everybody's doorstep. And they even had the gall to attack the North Pole, where the ice grew thinner day by day.
Again, it is recommended to start at the beginning and proceed in chronological order. Otherwise it will be too easy to get lost.
