Not that this is any kind of big surprise, but damn, it sounds like working for Thomas Kinkade must be a royal pain in the ass. In a memo to the crew on his forthcoming (why?!) film, “Thomas Kinkade’s Christmas Cottage,” he tackily tackles topics both large and small, micro-managing everything from the inclusion of “hidden teddy bears” to the importance of LOVE and BEAUTY in every shot. Also he is a big fan of Barry Lyndon and suggests “stopping down” in general. Anyway, I don’t want to spoil it for you. Just read the horrible thing already.

oh god…this is like “Mein Kampf” for bad art
