Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Ovaltine?

[South Austin 52519]

A crummy commercial? That son of a bitch.

NOT A FINGA!

My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. 

[RPM 26322]

Fra-Gi-Le... It must be Italian!

Some men are Baptists, others Catholics, my father was an Oldsmobile man.

Flick? Flick who?

Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie

[billfromlaketravis 11515]

Probably the GOAT Christmas film. 
 

The closing shot with the Old Man and Mother Parker drinking wine is perfect. 

[Knoxtnhorn 6055]

It's, uh, smiling at me.

In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obsenity that as far as we know, is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.

This year it's seem to come into vogue to say it's the most overrated Christmas movie. I don't think so at all but heard several people in media throwing it around when never heard that before

Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat.

What is the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

Victor. His name is Victor.

How the hell did you know that?

Everybody knows that.

[Surly Bevo 25045]

Not a popular opinion, but I just don't like this movie that much.  

I just shot my eye out I'm sure.

There are more dumb motherfuckers who have no business in “media,” offering dumbass opinions now, too. Direct correlation.

I could go for some Ovaltine myself, anyone else? 

[4th&Five 41558]

Daughter walked out of her room and saw we were watching it, covered her ears and screamed “we can’t watch it until the morning.” Teenagers. 

[Biff Tannen 45691]

FIL tries to watch it every year to humor me and he clearly doesn’t get it at all. Kind of sad really. 
 

Maybe one day it will click for him. Mind power, Swede, mind power. 

[bluto 4932]

Near perfectly written movie. It might be perfectly written actually.

Fun/weird fact: a Christmas Story’s director Bob Clark also directed another “iconic” Christmas movie….albeit on the other end of the Christmas spectrum: 1974’s Black Christmas, which was one of the earliest American slasher films.



Also, my family watches A Christmas Story while eating Pei Wei every Christmas Eve. How original, eh?

I'm on the part where they're changing the tire. Gotta say, massive dick move by the dad. I only have a teenage girl in the house but if I had a boy, or hell if the girl had said fuck like that at his age, no way I tell the wife and get her all worked up. I just tell him/her we're gonna talk about it later. Some things a dad just has to do himself.

The thing you don't understand is for all his bluster, Dad is a softie. No way he could dole out punishment to Ralphie, so he pawns the job off on Mom.

just turned on the 1am showing...never gets old ❤

Scott Farkus, what a rotten name.

[Guest Lobo]

If you’re in Austin today and want to get out of the house with the kids.   Head to 32nd & Lafayette Street, house at the NW corner.  
 

The old man would tear up, it’s so beautiful.

Watching the 9 am showing this morning.  Merry Christmas!

The dad looking like a kid again when Ralphie unwraps the rifle is the part that resonates with me now as a parent. Such massive joy for a man beaten down the entire movie.

It was one of the best scenes in the movie, right as Ralphie had resigned himself to the fact that he wasn’t getting the Christmas present of his dreams, and was putting on a good face about it.

Ahhh but it’s not Scott. It’s Scut

[Hermanator 7106]

I always wondered if script writer had the name Scut Farkus first and casting found this God forsaken ugly ginger kid that matched the name perfectly, or if they had another name but once they found this kid they said nah he's a Scut Farkus

[bluto 4932]

Similar behind the scenes question when ralphie gets absolutely destroyed by the snowball walking home. Did somebody on set actually throw that? It was so damn perfect and seemingly dangerous. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22279]

In our world you were either a bully, a toadie, or one of the nameless rabble of victims.

Just now seeing this thread, but posted in the old one that I watched it with my 6 year old this year and was the first time she's watched it.  She loved it and wants to watch it every year now.
