I am SOOOO tempted to get one of those. I love the gun taped to the back, and the little Nakatomi building symbols.
What I came to say.
Sorry :smack:
Agreed, that is awesome but can you just imagine trying to explain it to people that didn’t get it?
It’s set at Christmastime, but it’s too violent and cuss-filled to be a “Christmas movie,” as such, IMHO.
Wantwantwant.
That would affect Bad Santa’s standing!
I watch Die Hard every Christmas, therefore it is a Christmas movie.
My sister claims Groundhog Day is her favorite “Christmas season” movie. Ok, so it’s a different holiday, but there’s snow, there’s snow angels, ice sculptures, and punching out insurance salesmen.
The whole thing just screams Christmas, don’t it?
Young John: “Yippee-ki-yay, mother-fudger!”
Old Narrator: “Only I didn’t say ‘fudger’.”
Some cable station could make a fortune by scheduling, er, alternative Christmas movies like Bad Santa! I forget, was that the one where a bunch of Santas got machine-gunned in a parking lot? Or am I thinking of some other Christmas movie?
That’s the one. Ho ho ho.
Your sister, and I say this in all the loving generosity of the Christmas season, is a whackadoo.
No one has mentioned Black Christmas.
The baby Jesus weeps.
I just wanted to add that Santa Claus: The Movie from the '80s – with Dudley Moore as the elf toymaker who gets huckstered by a scheming John Lithgow – is of course neither violent nor cuss-filled.
But it stars David Huddleston as Santa Claus, delivering fully half of his lines with the exact same intonation he used in Blazing Saddles when memorably declaring that “we’ll give some land…to the niggers and the chinks…”
It’s more jarring than DIE HARD, to be honest.
Damnit! Too late to order!
Too violent - didn’t Herod massacre a load of local children at Christmas?
Hey- it gave us Nicole Kidman naked. If that doesn’t say “Merry Christmas”, then I don’t know what does.
Of course violence has occurred at Christmas - as it has on every other day of the calendar, sometime and somewhere in human history. That doesn’t mean a movie about it would be a “Christmas movie.”
I’ll eighteenth this, or whatever number we’re up to. Every Christmas Eve.
It’s a Wonderful Life is chockful of violence. George gets a sock in the jaw. There’s a car crash. Attempted suicide.
