Is it a Christmas movie?
>>151841796No, next question.
>>151841796Yes, previous question
>>151841796As much as die hard
>>151842211more so even, there's snow in Batman Returns.
>>151842506good point
>>151841796I enjoyed the interpretation on Xitter that it's loosely based on A Christmas Carol and Schreck, Penguin, and Catwoman are all three ghosts Bruce is visited by over the course of the film.
>>151842211>why yes, Die Hard is indeed my favorite Chistmas movie. How could you tell?
>>151844617i look like that and say that
>>151841796>penguin has a big hook nose>gets sent down the sewer in a basket similar to how Moses was sent down the river as a baby>Penguin wants to kill all the first born sons of Gotham similar to God's curse on egypt>penguin uses sympathy to gain political power>he wants to have sex with blonde /blue eyed white woman>gets defeated by WASPy old money Batman on Christmas
>>151841796it's only a christmas movie if it has a christmas miracle>>151842211the christmas miracle in die hard is that after seeing how her husband was angry with her moments before he killed a man and defiled his corpse, Holly still wants anything to do with him at the end
>>151844649Lift weights, eat healthy, and learn a trade
>>151841796Easy way to tell is whether or not Christmas is a part of the plot/theme of the movie rather than just a setting.If all it has is that it takes place at christmas but the story works perfectly fine at any other time of year then it's not a christmas movie.
>>151841796It's a movie intrinsically tied to Christmas and not only that, the the three antagonists represent the ghosts of a Christmas Carol in relation to Batman (Penguin past, Catwoman present, and Walken to future)
>>151841796I watch it every December regardless.
>>151842211>>151842506YOU ARE CORRECT SIR / MADAM!
>a kiss under the mistletoe >You know, mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it>But a kiss can be even deadlier... if you mean it>Oh my God, does this mean we have to start fighting?Best scene in the movie
LAWN DART!
>>151846246>Dad go, save yourself This might have been the first Christopher Walken impression I saw
>>151841796There is a Christmas tree in almost every scene. Despite being released to be a summer blockbuster, it's a movie that can be nothing but a Christmas movie when you actually watch it.
>>151841796>everyone says die hard 1 is a Christmas movie>never any discussion about die hard 2 which also takes place at christmas
>>151846303I never noticed that this was a Walken impression until years later when everyone started doing Walken impressions then it clicked
>>151841796This movie is greatWalken is great (though really his plan isn't really explained)but it would have been better if Billy Dee came back as Harvey Dent and Catwoman's "kiss" at the end gives him a Burnt half face
>>151846345Probably cause Die Hard 2 isn't very good
>>151844617I prefer Rocky IV myself
>Is the movie that features mistletoe, a giant Christmas tree, and villains popping out of a literal giant Christmas present a Christmas movie?No.
>>151847397>Killed the Cold WarThanks Rocky
>>151842211>>151847397And Gremlins. That should count as a Christmas movie
>>151848035they ruined the color grade on both the 1080 bluray and the 4k remaster
>>151848035Fucking KINO. As a young kid when the movie came out I always saw this on the commercial and thought Batman was literally turning into some kind of monster.
>>151841796>Well, come what may. Merry Christmas, Mr Wayne.>Merry Christmas Alfred. Good will toward men. And women.
>>151847397Good pick honestly
