"You just messed up big time, Fatman!!!!" Saban Films has released an official trailer for a wacky fun new action-comedy called Fatman, which is a reference to the slang word for what people sometimes call Santa Claus. Which is exactly what this is about (yes, really). Mel Gibson (yes, really) stars as Chris Cringle, a "rowdy, unorthodox Santa Claus" who is upset fighting his business going downhill. To save his declining business, Cringle is forced into a partnership with the U.S. military. Making matters worse, he gets locked into a deadly battle of wits against a highly skilled assassin, hired by a precocious 12-year-old after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking. This also stars Walton Goggins, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Shaun Benson, Chance Hurstfield, Jordan Blais, Deborah Grover, and Paulino Nunes. Yes this looks as fun as it sounds, in a good way. And honestly I must admit I love the tagline, too: 'Tis the season to get even.
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Eshom Nelms & Ian Nelms's Fatman, direct from YouTube:

I don't even know how to respond to this, but I don't see how it could in any way redeem Gibson's reputation. Not my idea of holiday cheer, for sure.

Hahahahahaha. Now I wonder, if this is another demise of American culture done by crossing another cultural barrier with violence or is it just one of those real truths behind the business project called Christmas. While watching this, I'll enjoy contemplating the impotence of all that that lies behind ...

Try Hollywood, they obviously have better stuff. I just can't be as good as they are. That's why I'm enjoying this...

LOL at Gibson and just doing whatever. This looks like it will be pretty middling.

Will somebody please get Mel a drink. He's so boring when he's sober.
