Almost two centuries of holiday-friendly goodwill go up in a sun-blotting, smokestack cloud in The Nutcracker in 3-D , the most confounded in the long and miscegenetic line of adaptations of E.T.A.

This stunning one-two clobber by Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky sent me reeling to the far reaches of my seat. I wasn’t alone: During a critical moment in the screening I attended, one girl of about 9 bolted from the front row to find her father, who had chosen to sit at a more adult remove.

On Saturday night, SNL aired a Nasim Pedrad starring sketch called “Camel Tame,” a parody commercial on a more effective way to hide unsightly camel toe. Well, touché, SNL , because here comes Funny or Die’s “Cameltoe Shows,” starring Kelly Brook, which takes the SNL idea and stands it on its head.
