Sure, try The Sound of fucking Music without screaming into a pillow, tough guy. 5 minutes ago, scottsdad said: Batman Returns is a Christmas film. The cinemas agree. It seems to be on the rota with Die Hard now, which every cinema is putting on multiple showings of this month. I haven't seen Batman Returns since it originally came out in the cinema, so what's the crack there? Did it come out at Christmas or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 One of my neighbours has put on Christmas music today, presumably because there's been a bit of snow (you may have noticed). All the standard stuff that you hear playing constantly in public spaces at this time of year. Is it common for people to play Christmas music in their homes? We're bombarded with the same couple of dozen songs so frequently at this time of year that it didn't occur to me that some people might arrive back in the house and decide they want even more of it. I love death metal, but I'm pretty sure that hearing Morbid Angel piped into shops, offices, workplaces, and public toilets all the time would put me off the whole idea of worshipping Satan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play a Christmas CD on Christmas morning and maybe Christmas Eve If I've had a few but other than that I get my fix in the shopping malls. I like the Christmas songs but a couple of times a year is enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is excellent, better than the 1989 movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't enjoy it much; found it a bit dull and lifeless compared to the first one. There was so much hype about Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer's performances in the build-up to release, and they were fine but it felt like Tim Burton was more interested in the sets. Does it take place at Christmas? I can't remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I've made a last minute decision to attend the works Christmas do tonight. The Christmas shopping trip into Glasgow tomorrow that I've already agreed to with the wife is going to be a fucking write off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Anyone saying "x movie is a Christmas movie" because it either takes place around or mentions Christmas wants a battering. "Last Christmas" by Wham can also do one. It's about a breakup and you'd be as well substituting "valentines" and it would actually make more sense. At no other point does it mention any Christmas related things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Will be back in Scotland from Dec 23-29. Parents recently relocated to Ayr, will be staying at their place and making day trips to Glasgow to visit brother and sister. Looking forward to discovering Ayr, never been except for the football. Will definitely be visiting a chippy. That recent P&B World Cup had me salivating throughout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got me thinking. The deep frying of the turkey might be problematic. Not to mention the Brussel sprouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep fried stuffing would be a very funcy sausage supper. Marvellous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
