Best Christmas movie is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"... the ORIGINAL cartoon one, not the stupid Jim Carrey one.

:love:


This is oh so true!

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Wasn't he using something metal as a target? I thought that it wasn't kickback, but that the pellet ricocheted and hit his glasses.


nah, it was just a paper target.

But yeah, clearly Die Hard and the Grinch are totally believable, but a little kid getting a black eye while using his new air rifle is completely unrealistic and just ruins the film. :P

I'm quite certain he hit metal. It may have been a paper target placed in front of something metal. But you can clearly hear a metallic clunk after he shoots.

Hmm, that's quite possible.

Too bad the 24 hours of A Christmas Story on TBS is over, or I'd watch it again to find out. :lol:

I didn't see it... it's too blasphemous to me. It's a simple cartoon movie about how money and gifts and junk don't matter... then they took it and threw millions of dollars into it to try to make as much money as possible from it. It's so against what the message of the story is. :no:
