      What We Left Behind made me feel idk. I loved seeing everyone again and some of the background info, but part of me wants to forget i ever saw it.

      I don’t know why, i love DS9. My next rewatch would be the 9th.

      I was hyped for the documentary and couldn’t wait to get to see it.

      Missed Sisko.

      Edit: on topic, i think Die Hard is Santa’s favorite christmas movie - but really only the first one.

        I’m kinda in the same boat. I think Ira is a really talented creator and producer but he’s got that tried to hard theatre kid vibe at times. Like, love him and don’t doubt his sincerity in the slightest but yeah, bit navel gazey.

        I think Die Hard 1 & 2 both qualify for Christmas films but the first one is obviously superior for sure.

    subtract chrismas from the plot: you have no chrismas party filling a finished floor of the office tower with future hostages; you have no cross-county traveling hero to save-the-day. becomes a six page script and an easy in-and-out for snape and co.

      I’d say they both have equal standing. Diehard couldn’t happen. If it wasn’t for the corporate Christmas party and Grimlin’s because of the poorly thought out, last minute Christmas gift.

    There are 2 kinds of people, those who say die hard is a Christmas movie, and those who are wrong.

    To me, Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it is set on Christmas Eve. I don’t think it technically counts as a Christmas movie, but that just makes me consider it a Christmas movie even harder

    I think its important to establish why it’s a Christmas movie. I consider it one not just because it’s Christmas time in the movie but because it’s heavily Christmas themed the entire movie. For this exact same reason I think other movies also fall into this category like gremlins and terrifier 3.
