People say Die Hard is Christmas movie because people are so fucking tired of the same rehashed Christmas movies that get played in repeat every year. I like Elf but I’ve seen it enough.
Same with Christmas music. I’m tired of this boomer era shit starting in October.

Jingle All the Way is a better Christmas action movie that’s actually about Christmas.

So my husband also loves this movie. I try every year to like it, but I simply cannot. I wonder if it’s one of those that you find and love as a kid or else it’s hard to get into, haha.

Violent Night is going to be a Christmas tradition of ours. I also checked out Fatman this year.

My girlfriend said the same thing. Not a masterpiece but a fun lil movie to break the monotony of regular holiday movies.

Fuck christmas I do my best to ignore it until some annoying person comes along and invites you to some Christmas markets or whatever.

Thanks for weighing on a list of Christmas movies, jackass.

“If you _____ it means you have no personality” is played out

If you like Christmas and typical Christmas things you are an NPC without a soul.

Only if you make it your entire personality.

Unfortunately it’s not. People are so desperate to engage with others about pop culture and not have to face the horrible truth about the world we live in, that they really lean into stupid irrelevant debates about whether or not a movie is a Christmas movie.
It’s great that as Lemmy users, we’re above such trivial nonsense and would never waste multiple minutes debating with strangers about any of this piff.

american psycho should be one if them, the main character even says “have a holly jolly christmas”
- dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•10 months ago
There are more nonchalant Christmas references in American Psycho than in a Shane Black movie.

Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That’s a stretch, even for you. XD

🤷♀️ I don’t enjoy traditional Christmas movies that much and I think it’s fun to do something different.
There are 8 billion of us, it’s pretty tough to say something original all the time.

“get a personality” and “that’s your whole personality” is just lazy writing. it’s a generic insult deployed against anyone who likes a thing that says nothing about the person or the thing. it’s the satire equivalent to “vegan bad”. why should I read an article written by someone who makes parroting bland criticisms from the internet their whole personality?
- Littleborat ( @Littleborat@feddit.de ) English3•10 months ago
Die hard should have been on one and not lethal weapon. Other than that I think those are excellent choices.
- dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•10 months ago
Lethal Weapon was written by Shane Black, so by default it’s a Christmas movie.
- dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•10 months ago
There really is only a small handful of pre-approved opinions on the internet that you’re allowed to have. Some people need to virtue signal so damn hard every year that they’re a REAL die hard fan, and it’s like, okay bud, it’s a mega blockbuster hit that hundreds of millions of people have watched for 35 years. Chill.
