And it's so boring.

We have a night a week where we drink prosecco and watch a film. Now it's December we're doing Christmas films.

DP chose Die Hard for this week. Although I am admittedly enjoying Alan Rickman as a German Snape, I think the rest is awful.

It's set at a lame office party on Christmas Eve and there was a sad unlit Christmas tree in the foyer I think...

AIBU to think that does not a bloodychristmas film make?

YABU! Of course it's a Christmas film, all about the guy just trying to get home, encountering problems, overcoming them, making it home for Christmas with his lovely wife. Cracking film!

YABU. It absolutely is. It features in Time Out's Top 50 Christmas Movies. Number 3 or 4 I think.

Clovertoast · 12/12/2017 22:18
