It's a lot of work to make Christmas happen

They kidnap an exec though. At least a few bonus points for that.

I thought it was the aliens.

When I was a kid, I thought people who lived like that were just on TV. Middle class existence was as relevant to my experience as robot maids and talking cars.

Honestly I'm still a little suspicious. Hollywood contrivances are a history of how we think of ourselves, not of how we are.

They basically mind their own business the whole movie until Clark busts up their dining room!

They are a bit snobby, but really…

Cousin Eddy did that all on his own. Clark was too busy screaming at his family about not being able to pay for a pool.

Ernest does Christmas is the superior Christmas comedy.

Die hard and home alone 1/2 are the objectively superior Christmas movies

I'm actually rewatching it now, and Clark was minding his own business after getting the tree and Todd makes a snide comment about the size of the tree unprovoked, and Clark just bounced back at em. Then their next scene when Clark is putting up lights they kinda low-key hope he hurts himself.

No idea who exactly started the illwill between the neighbors but the yuppie couple certainly aren't played as the innocent victims

I mean, if you really want it...

I liked the grandma in this movie

He has a great job, but still overspends because he wants to be seen as someone more than he is, and the only way he knows to prove his worth is by purchasing things. He can't afford what he already has, and is relying on an uncertain bonus just to cover what he already spent.

The only time he really gets mad, is when his stuff gets broken or laughed at.

The story is about how his capitalist boss cut his wages so he couldn’t afford to give his family a Christmas gift. Now can you relate?

Fun fact: the grandma in "Christmas Vacation" is none other than Mae Questel, the voice actor of Betty Boop.

Michigan, where an extremely diverse college town like Ann Arbor that's listed as one of the most LGBT+ friendly places in the US is only 30 minutes south of Howell, home of KKK members and literal Nazis 'protesting' a stage production of The Diary of Ann Frank

Chevy chase as a human is a drunk racist. If you start relating to this man you need to take a hard look at your life.

It’s Chevy chase. A drunk racist. If you’ve not heard of him consider yourself for the better. There are far better movies that celebrate the season without having to employ and hold up a piece of shit as a hero.

I'll take the first two of those but home alone 2 is... Well, a lot worse than I remembered

Do you know what acting is

[email protected]

Do you? Cuz maybe it’s news for you but : Him being fired from community for going on a racist diatribe off camera isn’t acting.

Holy shit. Yeah I had a few friends that lived there and that tracks.
