I am continually surprised how few Heapers have seen it.

Tachyon · 2014-12-03 13:29:27

Christmas-related movies i have seen: Nightmare Before Christmas, Meet Me in St Louis, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Rise of the Guardians, The Grinch, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Snowman (if that counts)

also parts of The Santa Clause, Love Actually, Elf, probably others i'm forgetting

I mean, I know how the non-american heapers haven't seen it.

Just not the American ones.

Maybe I should stream it this year, though I've already seen it so many times.

I haven't seen it either, so I'd be up for that if you want to do it.

I'd be in, if only 'cause I wanna see what all the hoopla is about

I might just do that next, because Sredni's internet is apparently out and I went to all that effort to Fantasia working for him so I don't want to do it without him.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-03 21:57:20

I have seen it and it's pretty darn awful tbqh.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-03 21:57:44

It was one of only two movies we watched in my high school film class I didn't like. The other was the original King Kong.

Klinotaxis · 2014-12-03 22:16:39

When I was a kid I knew an American whose family would watch this every Thanksgiving.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 00:06:53

azzit turns out

I was actually thinking of an entirely different christmas movie.

I've apparently never seen this one, but I also have not had cable since 2010.

What were you thinking of?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 00:08:16

Miracle on 34th St.

Odradek · 2014-12-04 00:08:33

Ohhhh

Original or remake?

as an American, we have a lot of "traditions" that are only like two generations old.

If the first nations tell us something is traditional of course, we make a novelty item to sell to tourists out of it.

it was in film class so probably the original

everything we watched in that class was old as fuck, which makes sense, but still.

PatchAwful · 2014-12-04 00:11:00

I did always wonder about that

For our family it's Home Alone

Like, it's always on cable, and for whatever reason the men in our family will sit down and watch it as though they haven't seen it every year since 1990

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 00:14:18

Every year, about ten miles from my house, there is a "Lenape Traditional Culture festival" that is staffed by zero Lenape nationals, does not benefit the Lenape nation at all (who no longer have legal independence as of about a decade ago), and does not actually showcase Lenape things.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 00:16:34

Like I'm sorry to completely derail this thread, but calling bullshit like watching whatever lameass movie once a year "an American tradition" while we don't even give the first nations the rights to their own name makes me wanna puke, that shit should be illegal.

Klinotaxis · 2014-12-04 00:25:56

well that's stupid. but the movie things are mostly just like hey my mom did this one, let's repeat it.

I know a family that watches Die Hard, this is a better tradition than A Christmas Story by far

Whats your fave Christmas Story scene lol
