[tom22406]

Tim,how many alias usernames do you have?

Can a mod confirm this is all once named?

i think I have 3-4 other aliases. I haven't used any in years and I don't remember the passwords. I won't be using them.

I always get the feeling it's just a few people posting here with a TON of aliases fishing and trolling which is why I asked.Thanks for the reply.

Top 5 Christmas movies of all time, in no particular order:

1. Lethal Weapon

2. Die Hard

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

4. A Christmas Story

5. It's a Wonderful Life

Those movies are OK. I like Die Hard. None of those movies or any other holiday movie I can think of would make my amy favorite lists for me.

This actually isn't bad.

Bad Santa needs to be up there though. As does Christmas Vacation.

False.

I don't know. The Nightmare Before Christmas was cool why?

It had skeletons in it?

I can't help you. I'm sorry. Some people just can't be saved.

The definitive tim thread list is:

1. Die Hard

2. A Christmas Story

3. Home Alone

4. Christmas Vacation

5. It's A Wonderful Life

Only notable mention: Bad Santa

Pretty much, non-debatable

 

[timschochet]

I like post Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman movie music in very small doses. Nightmare Before Christmas offers way too big a dose for me.

I can understand the mindset that Christmas Vacation is a better movie than The Nightmare Before Christmas. I get it.

Your list says that Home Alone is a better movie than Lethal Weapon. What kind of upbringing creates that kind of monster?

That's more of a Christmas special. It's number 1 followed by Charlie Brown.

The Barbecue song vaults it into the top 2 automatically.

[TheIronSheik]

Iron Sheik, very few people here have ever been ACA's explicitly racist as Eminence. Some people imply it or hint at it, like Grandpa Rox or our late friend Clinton. There was Peens but nobody took him too seriously. Eminence was very clear about his thoughts, which is unusual.

I have to admit, I missed a lot of his threads that were deleted, so I can't be sure what all he posted. So I guess that adds into it. The stuff I saw wasn't that bad. But I guess I may not know the whole picture.

To quote a great Christmas movie; "Welcome to the party, pal!" - John McClain

 

[bostonfred]

The theme of my daughter's high school Christmas pageant this year was that 100 years ago, on Christmas Eve in France, the Germans, French and English stopped fighting, got out of their trenches, sang Silent Night together and then shook hands, exchanged photos, even started a soccer game. It was supposed to be a great moment for peace.

What they neglected to mention was that there would be another 4 years of incredibly stupid, pointless and extremely bloody fighting, and eventually the U.S. would get involved, before the war ended in a stalemate which guaranteed another bloody conflict 20 years later. IMO, this makes that night of peace seem pretty pointless. But a century later it's still idealized.

It was men that got out of the trenches to play and sing and engage in fellowship. It was governments that continued to use people like fungible chattel.

Exactly. It's like the exact opposite of "I follow orders". These kids, many of whom were forced into fighting in the first place, took it into their own hands to acknowledge peace, even for a day. The fact that the war raged on afterwards makes it even more powerful, because it shows what an enormous risk they were all taking. Imagine the first person to suggest it - the balls it would take to put your gun down in the middle of a battlefield or walk across to the enemy camp or however it went down. Imagine your commanding officer going ballistic - or maybe your commanding officer proposing it in the first place. No matter how it happened its pretty amazing to think about

I am aware, in the arena of movie entertainment, of a certain thematic grouping of movies, always geared towards adult gentlemen 18-still breathing that have average run times of 18-50 minutes, complete with "story", "soundtrack", "drama", "humor", sociopolitical themes and climactic conclusions. If they are movies, sir, then so is Emmet's gift to us this Christmas season.

[bostonfred]

OK guys. I have decided, at least for the time being, to try out General Malaise's advice. I will change the title of this thread, and this will be the only thread I will post in. I will post on all sorts of topics that interest me, many of them serious though not all. I am hoping to get a lot of response and good discussion and debate. We'll see how it goes.

I won't promise this will be forever. A lot depends on whether on not something like this works and I honestly have no idea if it will. But we'll try it out for now.

In a way, this post is like that kid who first accepts the offer of peace.

The traditional holiday themes of Miracle on 69th Street were compelling. The writers wanted to show us a world where magic could still happen even to adults during the holiday times, with the undercurrent of poverty and hopelessness running through to remind you that miracles are what you make of them. But then you have to measure your experience with your experience there against the similar themes of Santa Comes Twice from the 80's where the director let us get into the head of Santa himself and his experiences not unlike watching Empire Strikes Back from the point of view of Vader.

All right, now remember that I haven't seen Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas yet, and that could change EVERYTHING. But, as for now, in no particular order:

Die Hard

A Christmas Carol (40's version)

Gremlins

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

The Polar Express

Full Metal Jacket "Happy Birthday dear Jesus!"

Gremlins as an Xmas movie rules, what an amazing addition, IMO!

You also need to consider The Long Kiss Goodnight. That movie was the perfect example of B movie awesomeness that should be the barometer to measure others against.

So is it safe to say that Dr King's I have a dream speech was pretty pointless as well?

do you think that's a reasonable analogy? I don't.Imagine if the leader of ISIS, after beheading somebody, gave a speech about how much he longed for peace and an end to the struggle. And the next day he was off beheading somebody else. That would be a better comparison.

The grunts in the trenches that night didn't have a thing to do with starting WWI, prolonging WWI, or negotiating a peace that would lead to WWII. It was moment of grace between human beings who were put in the most dehumanizing conditions imaginable through no choice of their own.

So, what exactly is your point?
