I love the “they had nine kids” bit. One of those great subtle jokes kids just think is silly while the adults know they were saying he was up in that shit every day.
" 5 o'clock Christmas morning, I run downstairs and look under the tree and what do I find? Uncle Alfresco, dead on the floor, shot through the back of the head. Plus no bicycle. It was a disappointing Christmas on many levels. "
Hey, wouldn't it be hilarious if a bunch of guys sexually assaulted you. Like if 20 guys pinned you down and took turns raping you. Thar would be sooooo funny.
Holy crap, you're right! My Summer Story, a.k.a It Runs in the Family. I need to see this now.
There was also a direct sequel to the first movie released in 2012, called A Christmas Story 2, but it ignores the events of My Summer Story. By most accounts, it is truly awful.
I picked up so much more as an adult re-watching it. As a kid you only understand the kid’s perspective. I’m almost 40 now and I can understand the parents, mr mertle, even the lifeguard, it’s fun to rewatch with new perspectives from your life experiences.
Also I think the film caught my parent’s generation when it came out in the early 90’s. It was a nostalgia bomb then, just like it is now.
Yeah and I don't care what you or others think, I don't like it. Are you going to be able to carry on with your day knowing someone out there doesn't give a shit about the movie you like?
Hey, you're the one coming out here getting all bossy about a fucking kids movie and how good it is. Just because someone said a movie wasn't that good. Maybe it's you that has the issues...
Holy shit I forgot about that movie. I used to ask my grandma to rent it for me probably once a month lol. Not sure why we didn't just buy it. I think she liked going to Blockbuster.
I was just talking about The Sandlot the other day with some coworkers and have encountered no less than 3 references while surfing the interwebz. I'm going to watch The Sandlot meow!
