Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, it is a movie that is set during Christmas. Two different things.

Dottie didn’t drop it on purpose, at least nothing in the movie leading up to it gives us that indication. You have to put your own personal opinions in there to say otherwise. I’m entrenched on this hill and have built a machine gun nest of facts from the movie, examples of other movies, and specific details that support my claims.

Saving Private Ryan was a great movie. It’s funny to hear people still using the Harvey Weinstein playbook two decades later when dissing on it.

MASH is better in the later seasons not only because Winchester and Potter are more believable as surgeons than Burns and Blake, but Winchester is a much better foil for Hawkeye while Burns was a punching bag.

Haven’t seen much of this backlash, but it’s a great Fing movie.

Incredibly accurate.

My hill to die on:

Will Ferrell sucks and idk why people think he’s so funny.

You're goddamned right.

Yeah...I know the whole "you need to let your little brother win sometimes" at the beginning of the movie is the supposed "tell", but she also tells the younger brother to kill him.

To drop it on purpose would be completely contrary to her character.

Why would she fricking come back just to throw the last game?

She tried to strike her out by giving the dope on her weakness to Ellen Sue.

It would also destroy the entire narrative for Kit...that she finally EARNED something and beat Dottie on even terms.

bullshite.

I don't think that's the theme of the thread considering most poeple recognize and understand this. The minority of people who say otherwise just do it becuase they think it's cool and they want to join the cool club. Same as "nickelback is literally the worst band eveeeeerrrrrrrr!!!!!" or "skylar white is literally the worst tv wife eeeevvvveeerrrrrr!!!!!". At this point it's just because a meme that is so often said that people don't even realize what they're sayign anymore.

Die Hard is OBVIOUSLY not a christmas movie, anyone saying otherwise is just looking for edge or acceptance.
