Red One was much better than I had anticipated.

He threatened the Hispanic housekeeper with a visit from ICE (back then called INS) and used the little daughter’s innocence to satisfy his goals. That ■■■■■■■ prick deserved a LOT more than a single punch from Holly.

Grumpy old men is a Christmas movie in my mind.
Segue.
The Kevin Costner Christmas story that was on ABC tonight was good.

I love the die hard conversation… Especially with weeeze. Such a fun person to converse with in a debate that I’m more likely to be able to keep up with. LoL. That dude is way smarter than me, and is a rockstar of a human

Jesus of Nazareth for my fellow Christian bros and sis. I remember when i was a child it would come on daily for a week leading up to Christmas or Easter.

Fact- Hans Gruber tried to pass hinself off as the Lions owner to McClain in the No Bullets scene when they meet near the top of the building. This means Hans is actually Krampus, as no one other than an angry Germanic goat demon would willingly admit to owning the Lions, as it’s part of his mission to terrorize and remove hope from all. If your movie kills Krampus, then there is no Christmas, Ipso facto.
Fact- One of the FBI guy characters is actually named Little Johnson. For realz. Porno names don’t happen in Christmas movies. It’s a rule. No dick jokes in religous holiday movies. Unless you are Mel Brooks.
FACT- THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS MOVIE WITHOUT CHRISTMAS DINNER IN IT. Or at least caroling, or gift exchange, or like ANY, just one Christmas tradition. Gunfire doesnt count, none of you grew up in Leroy Brown’s neighborhood.
Also-I knew the Japanese socially/culturally experience Christmas. I of course meant the more traditional religious sense. My grandkiddos sidewalk chalk spirals doesn’t mean it’s Diwali. I thought cultural appropriation was bad? Though, I may need to back off that a bit, as I made for dinner tonight a Build Your Own Banh Mi pita station….no French bread in this house.

Ho.ho ho. Now I have a Christmas movie thread.
Wish I could watch that movie again for the first time. @stephenboyd57 how many paint chips would that take?

Counterpoint: John McClane’s wife’s name is Holly
Also, Hans Gruber is the Grinch.
And it snows at the end. It’s LA, so the snow is falling office paper, but the vibe screams Christmas movie ending.
Plus John McLain writes “ho ho ho” on a bad guy, direct reference to Santa, the first song in the movie is a Xmas rap song and the final song is a Xmas carol!
And John does have a present to give to his children…so 100% a Xmas movie

He uses Christmas wrapping tape to strap the Beretta to his back in the climactic scene. That’s more powerful than caroling.

Lord of the Rings. And if it isn’t a Christmas movie then why did Bilbo gift the ring to Frodo? Why does Gandalf have a white beard like Santa? Why are there elves?
