Today at my job it was “ugly sweater” day, and I didn’t participate because I don’t have any. But next year I’m gonna wear a grey sweatshirt with “NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO HO HO” scrawled on it.
You were a proper Canadian father and taught her how to make an igloo and field dress a moose, right? She'll be fine.
did you have to explain to her what butt fucking means yet? I only ask that because it’s a quote in the movie.
No, but she laughed when Argyle laughed at that part. The “kneecapping” shot genuinely made her cringe, though. God bless practical effects.
Good luck. I have this one called Float and it’s a mix of CBD, THC and melatonin. It certainly does the trick.
One thing I hate about Ebay is that you usually don't get to choose how the item gets shipped, and the sellers almost always go with USPS because it's the cheapest. Something has gone wrong with every package I've gotten through USPS this year. Right now I have two different packages with an estimated delivery date of yesterday that are listed as "In Transit" with no location, which is what their tracking system shows if it hasn't been scanned for several days and they don't know where the fuck it is. If I'm lucky, they'll pop up in some post office or sorting center they shouldn't be at. One item I ordered earlier this year showed up two months after I'd given up on it. Then you have the fat fuck that delivers my mail. He folded a padded envelope in half so it would fit in the mailbox so he wouldn't have to walk 25 feet to my porch. Last week I saw him out the window, and I watched him back his truck up my driveway and then into my grass so that he would only have to carry a 20lb box a few feet.
So after watching Die Hard my daughter has decided that Alan Rickman is her favourite actor (she’s also seen and adored Galaxy Quest). Then I had to carefully explain that he was dead. And to add to the scoreboard of “Is Die Hard A Christmas Movie” she did NOT think that it was.
My daughter watched Christmas Vacation last night. She liked the movie but thinks Chevy Chase is creepy, both of which, in my opinion, show she has good judgment. Die Hard is next on our list, but she is already aware of the Christmas movie/not Christmas movie controversy so her decision may be biased.
Show her “The Ref”. Mine nearly pissed her pants at the sociopathically abusive “dynamic” Leary has with his poor old wheelman in the movie. Still the best role he’s ever had.
Yeah, I don't get the love for Christmas Vacation. I hadn't seen it in its entirety until about 2 years ago. It just kind of "meh" for me.
When it comes to the humor of the holiday season, there is no joke more nuanced than “Merry Christmas, shitter’s full.”
Why do I imagine you as the yuppy neighbors in that movie? Beyond the comedy which I think is hilarious it has a lot of John Hughes heart to it as well which I think adds to its enduring legacy. He had honed his craft by then. I think it's worlds ahead of the original Vacation in terms of over all quality. How often is the third movie better than the first?
I don’t find it as funny as when so was a kid, but I find I laugh at different things now. For instance: any shot the next door yuppies are on screen is genius and hilarious. Their wardrobe, their meticulous home design, what they eat for dinner on Christmas Eve, their sneering arrogance... it’s all hilarious. And Elaine getting climactically hit by the squirrel and then Snots is funny no matter what, I don’t give a fuck how old you are.
I think the cousin Eddie character hits a little different as an adult too. When you're a kid, its more like "haha he's gross white trash". As an adult, when we personally know people like him,(financial retards, moochers, always asking for money) it brings something out viscerally that makes me hate his character.
I get why people like it, I just don’t. I think people love it because it they grew up on it. It’s not bad, it’s just that I’ve heard people quoting it out of context for years and then when I finally saw it for the first time in my 30s, it all kind of fell flat.
Please name these Christmas classic laugh riots you think are the bees knees? BESIDES A Christmas Story. If you say Elf. Smack yourself.
