I only do Peetimes a few times a year so Dan and Dana are going to also see this movie and update my work here when they can.

Peetimes: I have three Peetimes plus an Alert Peetime near the end.

I think the first and third Peetimes are the best. The middle one isn't bad, but there is more emotion than the others.

I personally can't stress enough to look away during the Alert Peetime. It is only 55 seconds long. No one needs to see this stuff on Christmas Day.
