I was only 11 when it came out, so not target market exactly! 😂

Wreck I quite enjoyed Christmas Chronicles too - was good to see a film with a cool Santa for once!

Dnephews sport (rugby - no idea why I'm being vague) is 23 miles away tomorrow. Was about 15 today, it's bloody ridiculous isn't it?

The only saving grace for me is that at this age they don't play a proper game - they play 3 10minute thirds so it's relatively quick and taking him is usually DHs job

I don't think Die Hard is a Christmas film (sorry Fluffy) BUT it is set at Christmas, there is a tree and a song or 2. Plus, it's tradition now to watch it every year.
I think watching it should be homework for the thread if you haven't seen it before. Age is not an excuse (I was only 3 when it came out) Xmas Smile

Anyway, you all inspired me. I looked for an easy going Christmas film for tonight and have settled on the new grinch film from last year (while I'm half dozing as I feel awful)

I've just googled when it came out. I was an adult Shock

I'm afraid you're wrong, Crazy!

Die Hard is definitely a Christmas film!!! Bangs gavel and ends all further discussion on the matter.

NoWordForFluffy · 05/10/2019 21:32

I ❤️ you, Emrys! Xmas Grin

I’ll watch it this year then and let you all know my verdict. I’m guessing it’s an adult film and not one to watch with DS?

EmrysAtticus · 05/10/2019 21:38

Right back at ya fluffy Grin

Also how do I do Christmas emojis?!

I very much enjoyed Strictly tonight, can't believe movie week is done already. No time at all now until Halloween.

Managed to get DS the Little Bird Christmas drummer jumper today and so happy :)

Emrys you do [ fgrin ] but without the spaces before and after the word. All of the emojis with f before will give you the Christmas version. I'm assuming the f is for festive rather than anything Anglo Saxon. Xmas Grin

onthebusoctopus · 05/10/2019 21:41

emrys thank you for asking about the Christmas emojis, I’ve been wondering for a while but I didn’t want you all to judge me😂

Lovely jumper!

NoWordForFluffy · 05/10/2019 21:42

Yeah, very much NOT a kids' film!

Emrys, do [ fgrin ] [ fsmile ] without any gaps!

You can't put an 'f' on the cake etc. You may be able to do the biscuit though. I'll try! Xmas Biscuit

We're just getting to the end of Strictly now. Craig's mention of Anton's teeth had me snorting with laughter! Xmas Grin

It was the stuff of legends Fluffy we laughed till we cried it was so funny Xmas Grin

WheelchairWoes · 05/10/2019 22:16

AHH I fell behind and you all got on cause it's nighttime there!

fluffy honestly I'm still not over it! ugh I'm getting weepy just not thinking about it

Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!

I LOVE that Christmas Jumper!! We don't really have the clothing out yet for sale. I'm waiting for it!

I did decide what kind of Advent I want this year. So I do fountain pens and their inks and I discovered Diamine has an Inkvent calendar! Little special inks every day up to Christmas!

I was 4 when Die Hard came out. I think I saw it at age 6? I have brothers that are much older than I am lol I saw lots of things I shouldn't have as a child

CrazyBaubles · 05/10/2019 22:18

We have the Die Hard debate every year. DH doesn't think it is, my boss disagrees. My parents haven't ever watched it (😱) and MIL thinks it's rubbish so she has no opinion.

onthebus definitely don't watch with DS. Lots of fighting / guns / swearing.

I'm going to bed, I'm so so tired and my poor throat is raw. Even a hot toddy hasn't helped

NoWordForFluffy · 05/10/2019 22:28

Hmmmm. I know my dad has watched Die Hard 2, as we rented it on video(!) and watched it together one Saturday night. Not sure about the original though.

DH was all, 'Of course it's a Christmas film!' when I said there were doubters on here! Xmas Grin

I'm currently watching Die Hard 4.0. 2007 for this one. Crazy how fast time goes!

Mrs That is a GORGEOUS view! Our best view is from our city park hill here in town but if we drive about an hour away? We have Browning Mountain which is gorgeous. Best time of year to go is autumn
