Plenty of other Christmas films were released in the summer too. Holiday Inn, featuring Bing Crosby's White Christmas, was released in August 1942.
While Miracle on 34th Street was released in June 1947.
I'm curious if Miracle on 34th Street and Holiday Inn aren't Christmas films in TSE's eyes?
Only 1.5% of japanese are christians so it probably was a winterval celebration at best but more likely a celebration of Shimai Tenjin
On no level at all is Die Hard a 'great film'. It's pants tbh.
Now evens on points with the Aussies.
Unless it was about Bill Cash, in which case I'm sure we could all get behind the idea of a cashless society.
"Many young people in Italy are expressing outrage on social media, after a judge cleared a school caretaker of groping a teenager, because it did not last long enough."

I will literally travel hundreds of miles for a good Epiphany Carol Service.
But those cases in Scotland and Stoke where rapists of young girls walked free have rather dented my confidence.
"‘Die Hard’ Screenwriter Confirms the Film is a Christmas Movie, So Everyone Can Stop Debating Now.
Steven E. de Souza ended the debate in the most hilarious way possible."
The existence of private schools, especially single-sex boarding schools, is one of the worst.
If people wanted to do what you say, let them.
Be aware, though, that there are such things as illegal schools, many of which are "faith" schools. See s96 of the Education and Skills Act 2008. The authorities don't do much to enforce this law.

CHRISTMAS IN HOLLIS!
HO! HO! HO!"
Happy Holidays everyone!

Except of course for the iPads in 2001.
Where is the charity, the goodwill to all men, the sense of light from darkness, of re-birth and renewal, in Die Hard?
DH is fundamentally a boys' own shoot'em up with no redeeming features.
No, not even Alan Rickman manages to rescue it.
Child porn images. Groomed for cash.
Which makes Edwards a paedophile, does it not?

It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
Decorate the house with lights at night
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
In the fireplace is the yule log
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog
The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols
It does mean he was acting in a less than desired moral way at the time but a paedophile, no.
Albeit it is illegal to take photos of under 18s outside your own family but the police are taking no further action in this case
All the boy kids are frogs, and girl kids pigs.
How does that work?
1. Will Biden stand again?
2. When will the next GE be?
3. How big a defeat will the Tories suffer?
4. What on earth are Mrs P. and I going to have for dinner tomorrow?
It is illegal to take indecent images of under 18s, and that applies even if they are in your family.
{puts on black cap}
I hear by sentence you. That you shall be taken from this place to a place of incarceration where you shall be placed in the same cell as Piers Moron, Piers Corbyn and Julian Assange for a term not less than 20 years. The only entertainment is the worst Radiohead track on permanent, unstoppable repeat. The only written matter is the ability to read the comments on ConHome.
May God have Mercy on your Soul!
It also makes him in my and many other people's opinions a dirty old b*stard.
Less inclusive would be Manon Des Source, but infinitely better. Or perhaps Grapes of Wrath.
Spring films can obviously be anchored to 'The Producers'
Presumably you've missed the word 'naked' out of that phrase, otherwise anyone taking a photo in public spaces is likely to be breaking the law...
...But that leaves the suggestion that it's legal to take photos of naked under 18s 'in your own family'. Really?
It is not illegal to take photos of your children in the bath, however if they were not your children it probably would be. Indecent also has context
The other is he threatened the young person after being himself getting threatening emails to reveal him
The first no excuse....the second I can see mitigating circumstances.
Currently there is more heat than light on the whole subject and no one seems to have a clear idea on the actual events so I am keeping an open mind
The Producers - great film.
The Grapes of Wrath - great book, terrible film.
You're welcome.
A shame the influence of McDonald's etc that turned the franchise from that, to the absurd two that came after it.
But the Sun always put a gap between saying "photos" and saying "seventeen year old". If people chose to misread what they had carefully written, that's not their fault, is it? And even if you think it is, how are you going to prove it?
Even in moderately well-run schools, you sometimes get a strange packlike bullying frenzy. And nobody questions it at the time. Then the victim responds- either they lash out or they self harm.
The interesting thing is what happens next. Sometimes, it's a strange and nasty sort of victim blaming; if X hadn't been eminently bullyable, this wouldn't have happened. (We saw a bit of that with the Christopher Jefferies fiasco.) Sometimes, it's a lashing out at the ringleader, or more likely a prominent minion. Very occaisonally, it's the beginning of a kind of wisdom. More often, it's a pretence that nothing happened, and if it did, it was nothing to do with us.
I wonder what it will be this time?
