Santa's big red sack of toys is hoisted from factory floor to sleigh it resembles nothing so much as an airborne scrotum.

This Taranto fellow appears to have some "issues"...

It's not Taranto, it's NYT film critic Manohla Dargis:

Do You Hear Sleigh Bells? Nah, Just Tom Hanks and Some Train

Second graf.

Other gems from Dargis:

• October 22 -- A "Didactic" Anti-Michael Moore "Screed"
Movie critic Manohla Dargis takes on "Celsius 41.11", a conservative antidote to left-wing Michael Moore's "documentary": "A didactic screed that has all the verve of a PowerPoint presentation and all the subtlety of a Homeland Security red alert, 'Celsius 41.11' is finally interesting only because it represents another unconvincing effort on the part of conservatives to mount a viable critique of Mr. Moore."

• October 8 -- A "Saintly" Abortionist
Like abortion? Then you'll love "Vera Drake," Mike Leigh's new movie about an abortionist in '50s Britain: "[Actress Imelda] Staunton's physical performance keeps this saintly figure grounded and expands the character."
