Die Hard: Festive or not?

[Goldentony]

I love the lot of you but this DIE HARD shite every Christmas is fucking line manager level patter. DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE is the best one, then Die Hard, then Die Hard Trilogy Ther Game for PS1 then Die Hard 2 then the remake where The Rock has a giant silicone plonker that thinks

[thecuriousorange]

Are there many films set at Easter? I mean ones that aren't primarily about Easter. Before some smart arse names a flick about Jesus, remember that most of them don't have a resurrection. And anyway, I mean the modern interpretation of Easter, with eggs and stuff.

I was going to say, I assumed this thread was going to take a twist on the usual shite twitter patter, but it's not really succeeded.

I am sorry this was an uninspired thread I just wanted the cab consensus on this issue.

Kill me.

Is Die Hard a X-mas movie or an X-mas movie? Both seem wrong.

Nah, it was rated R by the MPAA, so it's an R-mas movie.

[Captain Z]

Is The Lion King a Christmas movie, given that it takes place at Christmas?

James Bond was always a Christmas film. OHMSS even had a Christmas Song.

Oh don't worry about it, there was potential.

[Bad Ambassador]

It's a Christmas film if you decide for yourself that it is. There's no consensus on the matter, and trying to force other people to agree with you on the matter is just twatty behaviour.

I don't think OHMSS is a Christmas film, but it's nice to watch at Christmas because of all the on-screen paraphenalia. Hell, I'm planning to watch TRON Legacy this month because it came out at Christmas and I associate with this time of year. But I'm not going to argue it's a Christmas film because it's entirely subjective anyway.

I don't even like Die Hard anyway. I don't watch it at any time of year.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Is there a difference between a Christmas movie and a move set at Christmas?

Yes. First Blood is set at Christmas, but it is in no way shape or form a Christmas film. Christmas doesn't have any bearing on the plot or themes, unless you regard John Rambo as some sort of martyred Christlike figure. Even if you do, which you shouldn't, because he isn't, that doesn't make any sense, as little baby Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Now if First Blood was set at Easter...

[Chollis]

yes it is

Christmas Ape  - Christmas film
Christmas Ape Goes To Summer Camp - Not a Christmas film

[Dropshadow]

Well, I have to say that I've never - and I never will - watch it during the spring, summer or autumn months. You know, because of all the festive stuff in it.

[The Boston Crab]

My favourite Christmas movie you say?

Hehe have you ever heard of a lil flick called Die Hard?

Hehehe

[BlodwynPig]

We played that game where you have to guess who you are, which is written on the card stuck to your forehead. It was a christmas drinks thing.

I wrote Die Hard... 2 for someone to guess in honour of this thread

[QDRPHNC]

Know what always got on my tits? The guy at the front desk makes Die Hard go through the staff directory, then when he finds them, tells Die Hard they're the only ones in the building. So whys you make him use the computer then???

I know why he did actually.

Would you say Twin Peaks: The Return is a Christmas film or not, in your personal opinion?

[Goldentony]

Oh my god, close this arse wiping thread about this fucking film for BASTARDS

[BlodwynPig]

Oh my god, close this arse wiping thread about this fucking film for BASTARDS

... is a Christmas film

[Blumf]

For Christmas bastards

[Sebastian Cobb]

Agree this is shit for cunts patter.

It's a Wonderful Life, Muppets Christmas Carol and Scrooged are solid Christmas films. Planes Trains and Automobiles feels like a christmas film, but isn't because thanksgiving doesn't exist in the united kingdom. Comfort and Joy is a borderline Christmas film I suppose because 'Dicky' Bird gets dumped at Christmas.

[Jim Bob]

Agrees this is shit for cunts patter.

Proceeds to take part in said patter.

The spelling of his wife's surname changes when he presses on it. It's such a glaring error I don't understand how they left it in.
