We can't believe it's been two years since we became acquainted with the Christmas home decoration stylings of Gramercy Park resident Joel Krupnik. Back in 2005, a Christmas display with a bloody knife-wielding Santa, severed doll head and more outside his East 18th townhouse caused much commotion after the Post dubbed Krupnik "Bad Santa" and put a photograph on its cover.

Billy Bob Thorton sets aside his raunchy also comes to big screens this weekend.

- Or, take his family to see Santa at Macy's in Herald Square, sit on Santa's lap and tell him "what a bad boy he has been."Or else, "the head will be 'handed to our renegade elves at the North Pole and used to make wooden toy dolls for the boys and girls of New York City next Christmas.'" And the group brilliantly included photographs of the doll being menaced by a candy cane!

Ooh - the owners of an East 18th Street Manhattan brownstone are under fire for their wacky Christmas display. The Post puts the Krupnik-Castellanos display - "a skinny, bloody-bearded Santa holds a knife in his left hand and the severed head of a doll - blood gushing from its eye sockets in the other" - on its cover. The owners, Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos, explain its their protest against Christmas's commercialization. Well, it's not Dyker Heights, that's for sure! But people in the neighborhood are pretty upset, with some neighbors chasing Castellanos and others imploring the police to do something (they can't). Plus the little kids are scared. Gothamist thinks this is kind of great, if grisly; we'd like Krupnik and Castellanos put up decorations year round... maybe a strung out Valentine's Cupid, depressed Leprauchan, drunken Easter Bunny... the possibilities are endless.

In the case of Jim Sheridan, he called to urge members to see his film, In America, which seems important if you're going to be voting a film, you know, that whole "seeing all the nominated films" bit. Plus, it's a very personal project (and a nice film at that) for Sheridan, so Gothamist can understand why he'd wanted to call the members, though it seems a little intrusive. But with Harvey Weinstein, we just roll our eyes and think, "That crazy Harvey!" But according to the very loose Golden Globes rules, it's kosher.
