With the recession casting its ugly shadow over the holiday season, it seems reasonable that everyone and your mama would be cutting back on the gift-giving this year (although I’m still expecting big things from your mama -- I’m sorry, was that inappropriate?). We say bull puckey to cutting back. Bull-reindeer-puckey. And to prove it, Icon Redux Episode 3: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, is the most icon-studded installment of the series yet, offering you not one, not two, but 15 different icons in a Dickensian lineup of Icons Past, Present, and Soon-to-Be that seems recklessly irresponsible now that the Age of American Opulence is officially behind us. But what some call irresponsibility, we call love. That’s how much we love you. We’d give you the shirt off our backs, but it was an expensive shirt, and with the economy the way it is, who knows when we’ll be able to afford another one. So you get 15 Icons instead, all packaged neatly in a two-minute video and itemized after the jump. It’s our gift to you. You’re welcome. And ho ho ho.

The most famous rule in all of filmmaking: Never work with kids or animals. But hell, I’m a maverick. And I can see Russia from my house.

As promised by our screen test -- next week, we'll debut the second installment of Icon Redux, our original video series that recasts classic, iconic moments with breaking new talent. In this case, very new talent -- the charming young fellows pictured here will reincarnate a famous interview given by Marlon Brando to Truman Capote. Instead of a suite at Kyoto hotel in 1957, our version takes place in a New York hotel penthouse in 2008, as rendered by the artistes at Two Penguins Productions. Watch for it Wednesday.
