I’ll watch it for nostalgia.

It’s weird/jarring seeing Ralphie so old (and kid of creepy looking)

Doesn’t feel right not having a Jean Shepard/ish voice actor doing the voice over since that was supposed to be “adult Ralphie” anyway. Hearing such a different inner monologue voice really took me out of it quickly

Why in the hell would they not have Melinda Dillon playing his mom. Instead they get the lady from Airplane!.

looks a lot better than I would've thought and I couldn't stop laughing when he told his kids not to let them kick them in the face

She has retired from acting.

I would wager she was asked, but turned it down for one reason or another.

You should call them. They may not have thought of casting her.

I want it to be good but it’s gonna be arse. Why is the bully wearing the same outfit from 40 to 50 years ago.

Edit: I watched it again and it looks like a daydream or flashback so actually makes sense the bully would be dressed how he remembers him

I get that Melinda Dillon might not have been interested/able to play Ralphie's mom, but I'd just as soon had them not have a mom in this one rather than swap her out...just so jarring.

yeah looks like it won't bring much new to the table, just references to the famous lines/gags from the original.

Me too.

But it has some weird creepy vibe in the trailer, does it not?

Like that redo Vacation movie.

Has "Ralphie" done anything since the original?

Ralphie's daughter - "When it's just us decorating it kind of feels like child labor."

Ralphie's wife - "Honey it's not labor if we don't pay you."
