Yippee Kai Yay
No.
That’s like saying Flight Club is a movie about soap.
Yes, and so are The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Yes it is. Just like how The Shawshank Redemption is an after New Year’s movie.
Yippee kayak other buckets
The most recent time I watched the TV version it was, “Yippee Ki-yay, my friend”.
I remember the 90’s TV censored edit was “Yippee Ki Ay, Melon Farmer!”
Why Die Hard is a Christmas Movie:
- there’s a grinch who spoils the party
- “You’re, uh…?” “Clay. Bill Clay.” (checks directory to see if naughty or nice)
- need help? call a plump do-gooder (the cop at the donut shop)
- anxiously expecting a vehicle to land on the roof
- “It’s Christmas, Theo! It’s the time of miracles, so be of good cheer!”
- a good guy climbs down the chimney / elevator shaft
Haters will say this is fake:
No, because I have never watched it.
Gremlins is also a Christmas movie.
So is Mortal Kombat from the 90s. It’s all about people fighting to be number 1. Just like Christmas shopping.
I mean if a movie like It’s A Wonderful Life can be a Christmas movie, despite most of it not having anything to do with Christmas, then so can Die Hard.
No, we agree that “Die Hard is a Christmas movie” is a fun proposition to entertain, either because it’s edgy and freaks the mundanes with its audacious disregard for cherished norms, or (more recently) because it’s a fun meme, with own line of commercially available ugly Christmas sweaters and knowingly ironic greeting cards. Though the meme eventually will become so overexposed that quoting from Die Hard on Christmas will become as basic and mid as dressing up in a Santa costume and drunkenly making an arse of yourself with several hundred similarly attired dudes.
Leaia is a Disney Princess.
It is literally set at a christmas party. Without christmas, that movie doesnt happen
That’s a glib technicality, but not sufficient to make it a “Christmas movie” in the usual sense. The Christmas party is a plot device, and could have been replaced with a different one without significantly altering the plot of the film.
The Muppets Christmas Carol is my favourite Christmas movie.
“Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.”
I like to pretend that John McClane is Santa trying to get gifts to the hostages.
Only if Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie too
Every time I watch it I am surprised at how well Xmas and Halloween go together. And mostly because Xmas is sort of a spooky holiday too yet no one ever acknowledges it.
It’s a thanksgiving movie because it’s got halloween and xmas in it.
Regression to the mean.
It’s about a man at a Christmas party that has gone incredibly wrong. It’s a Christmas movie
The real Xmas movie is Eyes Wide Shut
You NEED to download the 35mm scan.
Fucking distributors did Stanley dirty cleaning it up for release. It was under exposed and overdeveloped on purpose to make the film grain pop.
What’s the best way to sail the seas for this?
I just checked torrents and looks like this one isn’t a point and click adventure, sorry.
Gonna need to figure out Usenet which typically includes at least 2 paid services, a Usenet provider and an NZB indexer and then a client to download with. not really worth it for a single thing but absolutely pays for itself if you totally replace streaming services.
A provider really is location dependant but I can totally recommend nzbgeek.info as a great indexer.
Even Plex agrees:
What We Left Behind made me feel idk. I loved seeing everyone again and some of the background info, but part of me wants to forget i ever saw it.
I don’t know why, i love DS9. My next rewatch would be the 9th.
I was hyped for the documentary and couldn’t wait to get to see it.
Missed Sisko.
Edit: on topic, i think Die Hard is Santa’s favorite christmas movie - but really only the first one.
I’m kinda in the same boat. I think Ira is a really talented creator and producer but he’s got that tried to hard theatre kid vibe at times. Like, love him and don’t doubt his sincerity in the slightest but yeah, bit navel gazey.
I think Die Hard 1 & 2 both qualify for Christmas films but the first one is obviously superior for sure.
