The neatest summary I can provide is to say that there are many Christmas elements in the movie. Although the studio did not intend it to be a Christmas movie, some of the film’s key creators did. Either way, it’s certainly fair to say that Die Hard is regarded as a Christmas movie in popular culture.
Like it or not, the association between Die Hard and Christmas is fast increasing and in years to come its Christmassyness will be beyond question.
On a more serious note, I forget how adult Die Hard actually is. I always remember it as kind of Ocean's Eleven type movie, but there is quite a few scenes in there that aren't suitable for kids. I believe it might have even been an 18 at time of release.
It was released in July 1988, definitely not a Christmas film.
Voted the Number 1 Christmas Movie by Empire Magazine readers. Described as unquestionably a Christmas Movie by Mark Kermode (with a long explanation about how it is set at Christmas, has a Christmas party as its main setting, includes a Christmas story of redemption and has the lead female character called Holly). Included as one of the great Christmas movies by the Sky Arts movie team.
Face it, as with your attitude to the French, denying Solo as great Star wars film and pineapple on pizza, this is just another example of how wrong you can be.
The Empire poll is a voodoo poll, the YouGov poll is a properly weighted poll.
Mark Kermode, we're in the age of sick and tired of experts.
You are the one who mentioned experts. I just showed that they disagree with you. Thankfully both the TV networks and the experts know you are wrong and you are going to be stuck forever more with Die Hard being shown as a Christmas Movie.
I have been over to Chingford a few times and IDS has a good team of Tory volunteers working for him, the Tories also held the Chingford seats in Waltham Forest in May's local elections. I think the Tories will hold Chingford and Woodford Green.
In Richmond Park though the Tories lost control to the LDs and a lot of seats went yellow and I think Goldsmith will lose having scraped hope last time after the LDs won the by election.
Hastings and Rye is a seat Labour having to gain if Corbyn has any chance of becoming PM and stopping the Tories having enough seats with the DUP for a majority, do it Rudd did hold on is this crucial bellwether the Tories should be back in power.
Derby North could be a Tory gain if they win a majority, a Labour Leave seat with a small majority and an MP linked to the hard left
Yes, I think Duncan Smith's brand of ultra-eurosceptic nastiness has lost Chingford and Woodford Green for the Tories, probably for ever. I can imagine them being stuffed in Uxbridge and South Ruislip too, simply because, these days, Boris is just a massive pain in the arse.
Next GE won’t have May as Tory leader, even if the Tories actually manage to stay together, won’t have such a woeful campaign or such an irrelevant manifesto - that will change a lot of people’s voting intentions.
According to most polls the only Tory who gets a higher Tory voteshare than May is Boris, the catch is some also show him pushing up the Labour vote too
And Amber Rudd is loathed in Hastings, a constituency she has so misrepresented in terms of her constant efforts to obtain a second referendum and to ensure the UK remains in the EU. Hastings is a solid Brexiteer town that voted 54% leave. I know that town, for I was brought up there. It is a town that cannot wait to dump her.
I would hardly call 54% in a referendum two and a half years ago "solid".
Presumably Redwood's charitable act(s) as witnessed by TSE was in the last 15 years. Perhaps divorce has made him a reformed character (though he still sounds the same tetchy, humourless ***** in recent interviews I've heard).
The Vulcan! Although his manner is more like a Great White Shark with those cold unfeeling eyes. He is an ideological dinosaur. Hopefully, he will retire at the next election, his knighthood might be the price for him to vacate his safe seat!

Thanks JCJ. You clearly felt you hadn't done enough damage with your hare-brained drunken posturing during the referendum so you feel the need to epically fuck up again by openly telling the swing voters they're stupid, anti-democratic and incompetent not to do what you're telling them.
He really was a very good and indeed if the EU were a federal superstate alone unanswerable reason for voting Leave. He's now trying to maximise the chaos. Whether it's because he's drunk, a fool or just tin eared I don't know.
Um, I hate to be awks but from what I've read, what he said was:
* The UK should make its mind up as to what it wants * The EU respects the referendum and is not trying to force the UK to stay in the EU * UK MPs distrust the EU.

I reference Solo in a PB Thread header, further cementing my position as PB's man of the people.
In terms of disasters for the United Kingdom a no deal Brexit is to picture the Hindenburg meets Chernobyl meets the fall of Singapore meets Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Well, first of all I would argue we have repeatedly said what we want - a free trade agreement plus security co-operation and visa free travel. And that's by and large what we've got although given the problem is the backstop which the EU are insisting on his claims to good faith are to say the least disingenuous. If he's too dumb to understand that, that's his problem. Equally, I suppose he may not want to say it in case other people Get Ideas.
But it's more the way he says it. The implication however of his comments is that he is respecting the referendum and is always acting with integrity whereas his opponents will not. Leaving aside the minor detail that coming him that's like being lectured by Mao on the importance of food supplies, the entire tone and approach seems calculated to put up the backs of the recalcitrant at the very moment we needed the temperature cooling.
He is scum. Let's not mince words here. Even as PM of Luxembourg, he stank. As president of the EC, he stank more. Cameron was 100% right to oppose him. That's even before the drinking or his peculiar behaviour towards certain female officials. And he has been pretty much an unmitigated fiasco, which means the boasting in the article about his brilliance grates even more. But really, I had hoped he wouldn't stir the pot further. I should have known better.
I cannot believe I'm forced to defend John Redwood, but I have seen him do some charity work, for the Lord's Taverners.
Good old Tories, always there to help each other out. He must be a great guy after all.
I think Sir John Redwood is a massive bell end and a hypocrite.
Perhaps you can refer me to all your posts criticising the SNP?
I am not a member of the SNP , neither do I promote them other than for their support of independence. If you look back a week or so you will see me criticising their tax policies.

That’s not based on a head to head choice. In a head to head choice, Remain has a double digit lead over the deal.
Wrong.
It is based on a head to head choice. Remain only leads on first preferences on 44% with the Leave vote divided between Deal and No Deal.
Head to head Leave with the Deal beats Remain in Hastings
I did that survey.
There were 3 questions, the first on first preferences, the second on alternative vote, the third on a Concordet basis and head to head.
Nationally Remain won the first two ways but Leave with the Deal won the third way beating both Remain and No Deal head to head in 372 constituencies ie a clear majority

On first preferences Remain is ahead, on a Concordet basis though the Deal wins in Hastings, beating both Remain and No Deal head to head
It’s not head to head unless you offer people a forced choice between only two options.
Which could well happen.
In the unlikely event we get EUref2 it could well be a Remain v Leave first question and then a Leave with a Deal or Leave with No Deal second question in the event Leave won the first or a straight Remain or Leave with the Deal question.

Mock all you like, the makers were laughing all the way to the Bank and I enjoyed it the most of any Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back
Well, you obviously didn't notice the plentiful plot-holes. The Force Awakens was likewise littered with convenient plot contrivances!
Who cares? It is a hoot
It's definitely in my top two Star Wars movies. Everyone has their own tastes of course, no one should be made to like it, but some of the complaints people make about it either apply to others which they claim to like (such as the humourous aspects that were all through Force Awakens or contrivances, the latter of which are all through the series), or are complete nonsense (certain bits not being 'answered' from the previous film as if the originals did that or certain 'twists' not foreshadowed when they very much were).
It holds up better than Force Awakens, which is still fun. The thing I most liked about it is how it sort of jump started the retreading of the original trilogy cycle that Force Awakens did, so that now I don't really know what might come next.
And this is controversial, but the acting in the new films is leagues better than the original trilogy. God knows I love those movies but some of the acting is just lame in parts.
And while I'm getting it off my chest, I know it is cool to say so, but I really don't get why people act like the prequel trilogy are some of the worst films out there. Even for blockbusters that's not true. I cannot honestly say I think they are good films, I think there is one good movie made out of all the parts of the trilogy, but neither are they are bad as people act like they are - they are perfectly easy to sit through and rewatch.

I suspect that a significant slice of the UK electorate will feel that he speaks for them more than our own Government does. And it probably does need to be made clear how exasperated the EU is with our faffing about - Barnier's polite diplomacy is all very well, but it's encouraged MPs to think that with one more effort we can get some unicorns out of them without giving up our mutually inconsistent red lines.

At least he's not in the White House (yet). He has played Nixon though and of course your good self in the American House Of Cards.
“We do this by removing each option in turn, and then looking at the second choice of people who backed that option.”
All they did was reallocate preferences. They did not directly ask people a two-way forced choice.
So what it still produces the same result once first choice options are removed.
Both Yougov and Deltapoll have Leave with the Deal at least tied with or ahead of Remain, the only poll you are quoting is from the pro Remain biased People's Vote campaign.
Indeed Deltapoll has Leave with the Deal on 56% to just 44% for Remain

Everyone has their own tastes of course, no one should be made to like it, but some of the complaints people make about it either apply to others which they claim to like (such as the humourous aspects that were all through Force Awakens or contrivances, the latter of which are all through the series), or are complete nonsense (certain bits not being 'answered' from the previous film as if the originals did that or certain 'twists' not foreshadowed when they very much were).
It holds up better than Force Awakens, which is still fun. The thing I most liked about it is how it sort of jump started the retreading of the original trilogy cycle that Force Awakens did, so that now I don't really know what might come next.
And this is controversial, but the acting in the new films is leagues better than the original trilogy. God knows I love those movies but some of the acting is just lame in parts.
And while I'm getting it off my chest, I know it is cool to say so, but I really don't get why people act like the prequel trilogy are some of the worst films out there. Even for blockbusters that's not true. I cannot honestly say I think they are good films, I think there is one good movie made out of all the parts of the trilogy, but neither are they are bad as people act like they are - they are perfectly easy to sit through and rewatch.
I have enjoyed all of them. Maybe I am easy pleased
So how does Rey know how to not only fly the Millennium Falcon, but repair it as well??
How did Maz obtain the light-saber Luke lost in Cloud City??
How did Han and Chewie find the Millennium Falcon just as Rey and Finn flee from Jakku??
How it is possible to see the destruction of the Hosnian system by Starkiller Base from Maz's planet??
“We do this by removing each option in turn, and then looking at the second choice of people who backed that option.”
All they did was reallocate preferences. They did not directly ask people a two-way forced choice.
So what it still produces the same result once first choice options are removed.
Both Yougov and Deltapoll have Leave with the Deal at least tied with or ahead of Remain, the only poll you are quoting is from the pro Remain biased People's Vote campaign
It’s a poll conducted by YouGov and is consistent with others. Who paid for it is irrelevant.
Do you now accept that the poll you’re quoting didn’t ask a head to head Deal/Remain question?
Firstly there appears to be a lot of pontificating on the consequences of a no deal Brexit from people who don't seem overly well-informed one way or the other. I'm amazed how many claim it will be just fine/total disaster (delete as appropriate) without appearing to need any expert knowledge.
Secondly what is the pb view on hunting - specifically of foxes? Part of my social media feed seems to think civil war is about to break out in the countryside. Maybe that just says something about my friends!

Need I go on?
Go on as much as you like. I do not care. They are only movies.
I do not see you complaining that the Force does not exist or that the Star Wars cities have no safety rails to stop people plunging off bridges and walks or that whatever babble the characters talk, everyone understands each other.
They are only movies with a basic plot of boy-meets-girl or coming-of-age or good-vs-evil. Sit back, enjoy the spectacle and just let it happen.
I would hardly call 54% in a referendum two and a half years ago "solid".

The local hunt is not doing a lot to make itself popular in this part of North Dorset.

Oddly what would be killing fox hunting if people still did it, which they don't, is not the law but large scale commercial pheasant shooting which entails the genuine extermination of the entire fox population by gamekeepers with rifles and night sights, in support of a sport which positively aspires to kill 100s of proposed breed animals per day where hunting was always satisfied with just a couple.

No idea what they were chasing. At one point the pack went into the grasskeep field opposite and split up, most going to one corner and a handful coming across the the opposite corner. The field often has a few sika deer in it so I wouldn't be surprised of the dogs got a scent of those. Our neighbour lost one of his chickens (later found alive in another neighbour's garden tbf). His horses, dogs and chickens all disturbed.
I don't blame the dogs - if they pick up a scent of something wild and interesting they are going to follow it.

Fishing is not illegal though is it.

Obligatory best Chrimbo movie watching completed...i.e. Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Home Alone....The question is do I inflict the disasters that are Die Hard 3+ and / or same with Home Alone on Chez Urquhart?
There's more snow in The Empire Strikes Back than in Die Hard, just saying.
I assume you were eating pizzas with pineapples on them whilst watching those films?
Just saying...
The neatest summary I can provide is to say that there are many Christmas elements in the movie. Although the studio did not intend it to be a Christmas movie, some of the film’s key creators did. Either way, it’s certainly fair to say that Die Hard is regarded as a Christmas movie in popular culture.
Like it or not, the association between Die Hard and Christmas is fast increasing and in years to come its Christmassyness will be beyond question.
On a more serious note, I forget how adult Die Hard actually is. I always remember it as kind of Ocean's Eleven type movie, but there is quite a few scenes in there that aren't suitable for kids. I believe it might have even been an 18 at time of release.
It was released in July 1988, definitely not a Christmas film.
Voted the Number 1 Christmas Movie by Empire Magazine readers. Described as unquestionably a Christmas Movie by Mark Kermode (with a long explanation about how it is set at Christmas, has a Christmas party as its main setting, includes a Christmas story of redemption and has the lead female character called Holly). Included as one of the great Christmas movies by the Sky Arts movie team.
Face it, as with your attitude to the French, denying Solo as great Star wars film and pineapple on pizza, this is just another example of how wrong you can be.
The Empire poll is a voodoo poll, the YouGov poll is a properly weighted poll.
Mark Kermode, we're in the age of sick and tired of experts.
Considering IDS hasn't been in the role for more than 2.5 years, during which time there have been multiple budgets, changes and there were ongoing trials the entire period - I fail to see how he is any more responsible than say George Osborne.

In Richmond Park though the Tories lost control to the LDs and a lot of seats went yellow and I think Goldsmith will lose having scraped hope last time after the LDs won the by election.
Hastings and Rye is a seat Labour having to gain if Corbyn has any chance of becoming PM and stopping the Tories having enough seats with the DUP for a majority, do it Rudd did hold on is this crucial bellwether the Tories should be back in power.
Derby North could be a Tory gain if they win a majority, a Labour Leave seat with a small majority and an MP linked to the hard left

* The UK should make its mind up as to what it wants
* The EU respects the referendum and is not trying to force the UK to stay in the EU
* UK MPs distrust the EU.
OK, I give up. Which of those statements do you think is wrong?
It is based on a head to head choice. Remain only leads on first preferences on 44% with the Leave vote divided between Deal and No Deal.
Head to head Leave with the Deal beats Remain in Hastings
In terms of disasters for the United Kingdom a no deal Brexit is to picture the Hindenburg meets Chernobyl meets the fall of Singapore meets Solo: A Star Wars Story.

But it's more the way he says it. The implication however of his comments is that he is respecting the referendum and is always acting with integrity whereas his opponents will not. Leaving aside the minor detail that coming him that's like being lectured by Mao on the importance of food supplies, the entire tone and approach seems calculated to put up the backs of the recalcitrant at the very moment we needed the temperature cooling.
He is scum. Let's not mince words here. Even as PM of Luxembourg, he stank. As president of the EC, he stank more. Cameron was 100% right to oppose him. That's even before the drinking or his peculiar behaviour towards certain female officials. And he has been pretty much an unmitigated fiasco, which means the boasting in the article about his brilliance grates even more. But really, I had hoped he wouldn't stir the pot further. I should have known better.
If I'm honest, the only really good Star Wars film remains Episode V.
Have a good evening.
Read the study: https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/24pikzv1u7/Ben Lauderdale Brexit deal MRP report.pdf
On first preferences Remain is ahead, on a Concordet basis though the Deal wins in Hastings, beating both Remain and No Deal head to head
Nationally Remain won the first two ways but Leave with the Deal won the third way beating both Remain and No Deal head to head in 372 constituencies ie a clear majority
I'd like some polling commissioned to examine correlations between liked/disliked SW films and Leave/Remain voting.
In the unlikely event we get EUref2 it could well be a Remain v Leave first question and then a Leave with a Deal or Leave with No Deal second question in the event Leave won the first or a straight Remain or Leave with the Deal question.
Those are the only EU referendum 2 questions the Sunday Times reported civil servants are preparing for
It holds up better than Force Awakens, which is still fun. The thing I most liked about it is how it sort of jump started the retreading of the original trilogy cycle that Force Awakens did, so that now I don't really know what might come next.
And this is controversial, but the acting in the new films is leagues better than the original trilogy. God knows I love those movies but some of the acting is just lame in parts.
And while I'm getting it off my chest, I know it is cool to say so, but I really don't get why people act like the prequel trilogy are some of the worst films out there. Even for blockbusters that's not true. I cannot honestly say I think they are good films, I think there is one good movie made out of all the parts of the trilogy, but neither are they are bad as people act like they are - they are perfectly easy to sit through and rewatch.
That poll had Remain v Leave with the Deal at 50% 50% and Deltapoll had Leave with the Deal with a clear lead over Remain
In a direct poll, YouGov has Remain ahead 63/37 among those certain to vote.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/20/polls-stay-eu-yougov-brexit-peoples-vote
It had Remain 52% Leave with the Deal 48%, Remain 50% Leave with the Deal 50%, Leave with the Deal 65% No Deal 35%.

Deltapoll has Leave with the Deal clearly ahead of Remain.
The only poll you can quote is a People's Vote sponsored poll
All they did was reallocate preferences. They did not directly ask people a two-way forced choice.
Both Yougov and Deltapoll have Leave with the Deal at least tied with or ahead of Remain, the only poll you are quoting is from the pro Remain biased People's Vote campaign.
Indeed Deltapoll has Leave with the Deal on 56% to just 44% for Remain
