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.

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.
Mark Kermode, we're in the age of sick and tired of experts.

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 left0 -

Hillingdon where Uxbridge is voted LeaveStark_Dawning said: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.

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 tooAmpfieldAndy said: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.

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.
* 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.

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.viewcode said:

OK, I give up. Which of those statements do you think is wrong?
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.0 -

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).Beverley_C said:

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.viewcode said:

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.
* 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.

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).Beverley_C said:

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.

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.JosiasJessop said:

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).

I assume you were eating pizzas with pineapples on them whilst watching those films?
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.
https://stephenfollows.com/using-data-to-determine-if-die-hard-is-a-christmas-movie/
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.

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.

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!

It was released in July 1988, definitely not a Christmas film.FrancisUrquhart said:

There's more snow in The Empire Strikes Back than in Die Hard, just saying.FrancisUrquhart said: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?
I assume you were eating pizzas with pineapples on them whilst watching those films?
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.
Plus the people have spoken,

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.
Mark Kermode, we're in the age of sick and tired of experts.
