If your family doesn’t have an “ Uncle Eddie” , it’s a good possibility that you are him!
OT: I’ll probably get admonished for this…

I looked it up after you said hour and a half because I thought I had been missing out and discovered the same thing.
They call it the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special, but it’s really Skeletor’s movie.
I love that there’s like 30 minutes of Wookie conversations with no subtitles.
Did you get the Cane’s dogs last year?
They had a Clark with squirrel, Eddie with mug, and Aunt Bethany.
We have them up on our mantle.

I want to thank you guys. Reading this thread is much more exciting and refreshing than watching the Dallas game

The SEC as Muppets
Well, we're in winter vacation mode here at ATVS. I've put up the tree, hung the lights, and supervised the elves wrapping presents. No joke, I've got a present under my tree that says "FROM: Les...

We had the grandkids this weekend & it was miserably rainy, so after He-Man & the Muppets Christmas Carol I put on Mickey's Christmas Carol.
I asked the wife, Why is Scrooge Scottish? That's when I realized Scrooge McDuck has always been a Scot...the things you learn about your childhood after 40.

...those two and animal
Yep, a lot of people’s first exposure to Scrooge McDuck was either Mickey’s Christmas Carol or Ducktales, but he was Donald’s Scottish uncle in the Disney comic books going back to the 1940’s.
Also, I was Tiny Tim in my local community theater when I was 6 years old. I based my performance largely on the Morti/Ferdi Fieldmouse portrayal of Tiny Tim from that movie.
It's time to sit down and watch It's a Wonderful Life my man. Watch it with the kids. Two of my daughters sat there and watched the whole thing with me last weekend. They fought it before it started because it's in black and white, but they were hooked on the story from the beginning.
Oh and keep a tissue handy.
I would have thought everyone knew he was Scottish by the accent and he plays the bagpipes in several DuckTales episodes.
The last time I watched anything Ducktales related, I don't think I even knew Scotland was a country.
I watched it from start to finish last night. It was a good movie, but started a new question for me. Like "Die Hard", is it really a Christmas movie? Only like the last 20 minutes had anything to do with Christmas. I guess on to "Miracle on 34th Street" since that's another one I haven't watched in my 60+ years.
Die hard is absolutely a Christmas movie. Come at me
There's about a half dozen of them amongst my brother's in-laws. Bayou-version Cousin Eddies.If your family doesn’t have an “ Uncle Eddie” , it’s a good possibility that you are him!
My daughter asked that too, but I said it's about George's whole life so it can't all take place around Christmas. The climax occurring on Christmas Eve is enough for me to say absolutely - both are Christmas movies.
If this qualifies, one would be not only remiss , but also derelict in their duties in excluding "Lethal Weapon."*****
This brings up a good question as to what the threshold is for being a “Christmas movie”. Does Christmas or some aspect of Christmas have to be the central focus or just the backdrop? Can any part of the movie occur at Christmas or just the climax?
I see “Batman Returns” and “Gremlins” mentioned as Christmas movie candidates and I feel like if Die Hard is, those movies could be too.
Gremlins, yes. Batman returns feels like it is in a different universe so it doesn’t even really feel like Christmas
Fair point about Batman Returns, but counterpoint (spoilers for 30 year old movie ahead):
1. The first scene after the Penguin birth is a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
2. Christmas is very prevalent in the background (trees, carolers, lights, etc.)
3. Batman and Catwoman discover each other’s secret identities with the mistletoe quote.
4. When Max Shreck runs out of bullets, Selina says she’s going to save her last 2 lives for next Christmas.
5. When Selina kills Max Schreck, she calls him “Anti-claus”.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to that post in the other thread from dawgstudent.
I did not consider or suggest that my opinion was important for the board, rather that the topic was important and I'd really wanted to participate in it after having read everyone else's opinion. Finding the thread closed, I apologized in advance and started the new thread because it is a very important topic and very much a sports-related in-the-news topic.
Suggesting that my ego was so inflated was unfair and inaccurate.
So what are your feelings on the Muppet Christmas Carol?
Also, have you seen Fat Man starring Mel Gibson?
Nobody could chew up the scenery in an 80s action movie like Nick Nolte... Nobody.
