Bombed With Aplomb

Every year we get a Christmas tree. Every year, Kelley spends hours making it pretty. I help with the sheer force of my admiration (and adoration). And then I blow it to smithereens.

As the holidays are a family affair, this year I tried to include the cats. It turns out, though, that cats don’t take well to direction. Who knew?

After a few tries I got something reasonable—Charlie sitting nonchalantly, and George strolling by and then sitting nonchalantly—as grenades fly. Sadly, in that take George got blown up—well, okay, his head set on fire—in the process. So to save viewer sensibilities I had to cut the video down radically, to just 8 seconds.

So here, for your delectation and delight, is 2023’s Blow Shit Up FX movie, “Bombed With Aplomb.” Enjoy!
