miscellaneous musings
sitnspin:
The new Hawkeye series is way more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard ever was.
Tova:
Basically, the definition of "Christmas movie" is now "the movie that I like to watch every Christmas."
Which, you know, I'm down with, as long as we all understand what you mean by the phrase.
Grognard:
Considering I just finished, like 90 seconds ago, the Hawkeye series ... I'll agree it's a Christmas series. But not one I'll watch every year.
DieHard is my Christmas Eve regular. Goes with with wrapping presents and drinking the special eggnog. :)
sitnspin:
To be fair, I don't celebrate Christmas, so I have no skin in the game, but to me, as an outsider, it seems that simply taking place during the end of December isn't enough, a Christmas movie needs to have Christmas as one of its central themes or plot points, which Die Hard does not.
Cornelius:
So, about a week ago, I turned on a Christmas radio station. Trying to get in the holiday mood, and getting away from the covid reports on my regular station. And today, through about the fourth cover of White Christmas, I got to wonder: how many of these people have actual seen a Christmas like they're singing about? Just like the ones I used to know? How long ago is that, really? Irving Berlin write that in 1940. And it was nostalgic then. But what would an updated version of this song look like?
Musings, of the miscellaneous kind; of course the nostalgic is the point.
