Watching Cool Runnings start to finish with stony faced loved ones

[ASFTSN]

A very middle class Christmas.

Absolute silence.

[Dewt]

Gesture towards the TV and say "just look at the loft ambitions of these chilly black men" to the TV. See if that livens things up.

We watched Uncle Buck yesterday. But now we're on A Mule for Sister Sarah.

Glad not to be with my real family at Christmas, because I cannot have the conversation about Richard Curtis films not representing the absolute peak of morality again.

We're catching the end of Skyfall, aka the shit part.

You can say that about John Hughes as well but at least for the most parts they are likeable and funny.

Yeah Ferris Bueller is a see you next Tuesday if you stop and think about it.

Well, they don't make my skin crawl or contain any rapes. And it would take a lot to make me not love the ending of Planes, Trains

[neveragain]

Sixteen Candles gets quite rapey.

"Based on real life events", the emphasis on "based".  Good film though, Cool Runnings.  A Disney movie from a more civilised age.  Before the dark times.  Before the Empire.
