[quote=doubledenim][quote=Iroquois]Nowadays, I think people just like to treat the stirring up of "is [i]Die Hard[/i] a Christmas movie" debate as its own Christmas tradition to the point where it's as trite and boring as any other Christmas tradition so, though I'd say "yes" to the question I still get annoyed at how smugly insistent so many of the people who agree with me on that tend to be. It's like being a [i]Twilight[/i] hater all over again.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]I worked out a lot of my issues this past year, but I'm still a work in progress.

[quote=Iroquois][quote=Swan][quote=The Rodent]Anyway, with the recent arguments and that online poll declaring Die Hard as not being a Christmas movie...

... and yes, I do class it as a Christmas movie...

... but what about Gremlins?[/quote]

Man, you think there was conflict about the horror movie countdown about what constitutes horror or not. Imagine if there was a Christmas movie countdown.[/quote]

Nah, it would be simpler by virtue of the Christmas period being an objectively-determined criteria rather than the sheer subjectivity of what one person or another would think counts as horror. Hell, I saw someone on Twitter argue that [i]Prometheus[/i] is a Christmas movie because it takes place in mid-December and Idris Elba's character is seen setting up a Christmas tree onboard the ship so it's not as strict a criteria as you'd think.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=Sedai]Fair point. 

Meanwhile, I did not care for [i]Love, Actually[/i].[/quote]

I thought it was pretty funny when it first came out (almost entirely because of Bill Nighy) but I like it less and less with each passing year. Even catching fragments of it on TV the other night did it no favours.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]You guys need to quit hanging out in the bathroom with Ellis.

I can handle political dissent, social dissent, but an argument that no one ever has any facts to back up and trots it outs to get...

Heh...:suspicious:[/font][/quote]
