Hell, maybe they even think it’s the BEST Christmas movie. Every, single, year. Go choke on a wet sock. Its little know original development title was "Die Hard: How The Grinch Stole the Nakatomi Plaza"...true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think I saw a trump email or something “saving your Christmas’s Again” but it turns out Trump was just trying to sell an overpriced Christmas ornament that you wouldn’t receive until February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my first salvo in the War on Christmas. its not. I don’t get it. I can’t tell if it’s a joke or if it’s just a bunch of “dudes” being macho saying their favorite Christmas movie is die hard bro it has no Christmas values or Christmas message. Christmas has nothing to do with the plot. Nothing special occurs because of Christmas It’s just an action movie that barely takes place during Christmas season but had nothing to do with the actual holiday. is Batman Returns a Christmas movie because it takes place during Christmas season? **** no.

Destino Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Are we just randomly listing Christmas movies we hate? That’s a war on Christmas I can support. If so, im going with A Christmas Story. I don’t know how this awful movie managed to dig its way into American culture, but it’s time to burn it off. It’s boring because it’s terrible.

Having said that, and a completely unrelated observation, you can hide an awful lot of rum in a conventional glass of eggnog. ...just sayin'...not a suggestion or anything 😉. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The worst part is the lead up to the movie starting, where everyone stars reciting certain lines if you’ve been put through this movie every year you know exactly what I’m talking about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 2 things I think: 1. i think any movie that takes place around christmas and in which Christmas or it's festivities play an important part is INDEED a Christmas movie. Die Hard is, it's an ACTION Christmas movie, but it's still a Christmas movie. 2. I can't stand when the stores and everybody goes ape **** for Christmas in mid-November or before. (I get why stores do, that dollar is getting harder for them to grab.) But overall it just cheapens it. Takes away everything special about it. Forces it, and really, makes a mockery of what it is all about. As a kid, how hard is it to hold the excitement for 8 weeks or more? How long before it just becomes part of the background? This atheist feels weird in that i think the reverence that should be in place for the day is lost in the contrived commercialized glut of cheesy false nostalgia. It's like these parents who try SO ****ING HARD to make their kids childhood the most specialist magicalist time.. and they forget that what makes childhood so magical is that it isn't forced, the love you feel is real, it is safe and secure even when it really isn't, because all that makes the real world hard hasn't encroached on you yet. You don't need much to make something special. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I enjoy watching the Cinema Snob on youtube who reviews the all the Christian persecution movies. He's got some good one's on the War on Christmas themed movies also. I recommend the Snob's review of Christmas With a Capital "C" and Last Ounce of Courage. I'd post the video's but they have a language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be meeting for literally any office party or gathering and the movie doesn't change at all But it wasn’t any office party it was a Christmas party. And Christmas is part of the plot throughout in different ways. so this idea the movie has nothing to do with Christmas is factually incorrect. This idea that Christmas could be replaced with other things is fine, but it wasn’t replaced with other things, and you can apply that logic to a lot of moves to claim they’re not about the thing that the actual plot involves and is about... I get that you don’t like it. Unfortunately you aren’t the authoritative figure on the subject of what elements of Christmas must be involved to qualify as a Christmas movie. maybe just have your own opinion and be cool with the idea that others have their own opinions too Edited December 9, 2020 by tshile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
