Nope, just the latest clickbait hoax.

On this topic - why is Die Hard always mentioned as a Xmas film, but Lethal Weapon doesn't get a look in? LW even starts with Jingle Bell Rock playing over the credits, there's an early scene in a Xmas tree sale, and on and jingly on...
@idlejohn good point, sir!
The death of Clarence Gilyard Jr who appeared in “Die Hard” and “Top Gun” was reported yesterday.
On this topic – why is Die Hard always mentioned as a Xmas film, but Lethal Weapon doesn’t get a look in?
It being Christmas is central to the plot of Die Hard. In Lethal Weapon it is, as far as I remember, incidental other than as a MacGuffin to have Riggs over for dinner?

Is it? (It's been decades since I watched it!) Aren't they in the Nakatomi Plaza (?) for a Xmas party and that's the only mention of Xmas? In which case, the Xmas party is just a macguffin to get Willis in the building. 😀
Bruce Willis has become the new Nicolas Cage, as they seem to now be competing to see who can make the most low budget crap movies before they die.
Has anyone checked on Joe Cocker?
Bruce has stopped due to his health issues. There’s a video by Red Letter media going through all these really bad movies he was making. They released it just before it was made public he had aphasia. It makes sense now that he was trying to make as much cash as possible before he became unable to work.

I'm guessing you don't keep up with Hollywood news much
I have one of these.
And coincidentally Christmas MacGuffin is my Porn Star name.

John and Holly are both there because it's Christmas. The central narrative is that he's using it as an opportunity to try to reconcile his failed marriage, it's his motivation throughout the film. Plus there's multiple references: Christmas music, people wanting to get home to their families, isn't there even a Santa? And of course, "Holly" herself.
Sure, there could have been a different framing, but equally 101 Dalmatians could have been about cats.
By contrast, in Lethal Weapon it's barely mentioned as far as I remember. Though likewise, it's decades since I watched that. An obvious solution presents itself...
A friend of mine has bruce crawling through the AC duct as her favorite christmas decoration... Comes out every year and gets hung on the tree.
I have one of these.
Please tell me that you hang it at the top of the tree and then move it down a little every day.

I watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent recently on a longhaul flight and it was surprisingly good, Nicolas Cage actually does self-deprecating comedy reasonably well. Helps if you know at least the basics of his films cos there's a lot of references.
However I watched Apex, a recent Bruce Willis film, not long ago and it was utter shite from start to the finish that I just barely struggled to.

Sounds like sir would be wanting one of these...
I've gone for this as my xmas tshirt this year... And that's definitely an xmas film!

Bruce Willis is Alive
Is this correct?
Nope, just the latest clickbait hoax.
Well thanks to the edit this thread makes no sense!
On this topic – why is Die Hard always mentioned as a Xmas film,
The director even says it a Christmas film. John is only trying to get home to his family for Christmas.
Well thanks to the edit this thread makes no sense!
I see alive people.. all the time!
Shane MacGowan is still going. Maybe you can actually pickle a liver!
By contrast, in Lethal Weapon it’s barely mentioned as far as I remember.
Riggs negotiates for a Christmas tree in a drug deal before having a shootout in a lot of Christmas trees.

Is that mayonnaise on your jeans? or are you just really excited by gremlins?

Its Christmas or thanks giving in a lot of Hollywood movies either overtly or incidentally . In the basic A - B - A movie plot - everyone being back together, safe, happy, everything being back as its should be, in time for Christmas is the 'A' many movie plots are trying to get back to, even if the story isn't about Christmas.
Shane MacGowan is still going.
I saw him in an interview a few years back saying that the only thing that keeps him alive is the look on people's faces who thought he was dead
Schrodinger's Willis- while he remains in a duct, he could be alive or dead.
Riggs negotiates for a Christmas tree in a drug deal before having a shootout in a lot of Christmas trees.
Fir enough.
Schrodinger’s Willis
You just don't know until you check in your underpants?

At my age, yes....
Rambo: First Blood was also set at Christmas but hard to say it's a Xmas movie
The new title of this thread is like a warm comforting hug. Can we get Moonlighting on any of the streaming services?
And coincidentally Christmas MacGuffin is my Porn Star name.
Make the laughing stop, it hurts!
brilliant thread title change, welcome to the party, Pal!

It opens with Jingle Bell rock too.
The problem with Lethal Weapon is that it has Mel Gibson in it.
Big Bruce in a bad 80's jumper would be welcome at any office party, even if it wasn't full of "Euro-Trash" master criminals. Little Mel would just say something nasty and spoil the mood.
Is that mayonnaise on your jeans? or are you just really excited by gremlins?
Why can't it be both? 😀
Would you dip your chips in both?
I'm so glad I clicked on this thread.
Die Hard Xmas tree deccy ordered!
Would you dip your chips in both?
Neither, to be fair!
Shane MacGowan is still going
Might have spoke too soon the boy is in hospital.
Mel Gibson was recently in a good fun Christmas film recently, "Fat Man". Really enjoyed it, but not for kids!
