Yippee Kay Yay… (The only movie that doesn’t depresses me in Xmas)
The real Xmas movie is Eyes Wide Shut
You NEED to download the 35mm scan.
Fucking distributors did Stanley dirty cleaning it up for release. It was under exposed and overdeveloped on purpose to make the film grain pop.
What’s the best way to sail the seas for this?
Arrrgh
Here’s the only release I could find if the name helps:
Eyes.Wide.Shut.1999.UHD.35mmITScan.v2.1080p.DDP.5.1.x265-SM737
It’s a very dusty scan and the audio doesn’t work on some of my devices but the exposure does look better.
Eyes.Wide.Shut.1999.UHD.35mmITScan.v2.1080p.DDP.5.1.x265-SM737
Found it, thanks so much.
Very low GB file though. Hope it’s good.
I just checked torrents and looks like this one isn’t a point and click adventure, sorry.
Gonna need to figure out Usenet which typically includes at least 2 paid services, a Usenet provider and an NZB indexer and then a client to download with. not really worth it for a single thing but absolutely pays for itself if you totally replace streaming services.
A provider really is location dependant but I can totally recommend nzbgeek.info as a great indexer.
I have Usenet so that is a good lead, thanks.
Edit: not sure I’ve ever been downvoted for agreeing with the main question hahahaha classic
Yippee kayak other buckets
I remember the 90’s TV censored edit was “Yippee Ki Ay, Melon Farmer!”
The most recent time I watched the TV version it was, “Yippee Ki-yay, my friend”.
I was doing the B99 version
Yes it is. Just like how The Shawshank Redemption is an after New Year’s movie.
Die Hard, the grade school musical?
I’m not sure if I have ever even seen it fully
Well, yeah. What else would it be?
👎
I mean if a movie like It’s A Wonderful Life can be a Christmas movie, despite most of it not having anything to do with Christmas, then so can Die Hard.
No, we agree that “Die Hard is a Christmas movie” is a fun proposition to entertain, either because it’s edgy and freaks the mundanes with its audacious disregard for cherished norms, or (more recently) because it’s a fun meme, with own line of commercially available ugly Christmas sweaters and knowingly ironic greeting cards. Though the meme eventually will become so overexposed that quoting from Die Hard on Christmas will become as basic and mid as dressing up in a Santa costume and drunkenly making an arse of yourself with several hundred similarly attired dudes.
I like to pretend that John McClane is Santa trying to get gifts to the hostages.
While I agree that people shouting about it being a Christmas movie is annoying, it definitely is a Christmas movie. It has all the trappings of a Christmas movie and Christmas music is in the score.
It’s a movie about a man attending a Christmas party in order to patch things up with his wife and spend the holidays among his family. But the only way to do that, and to defeat the greedy villain, is to let go of their pride. And also there’s guns and stuff.
It’s a Christmas movie in the same way Addams family is a wholesome family. They obviously are, and you only disagree if you’re unable to look past the surface.
Leaia is a Disney Princess.
It is literally set at a christmas party. Without christmas, that movie doesnt happen
That’s a glib technicality, but not sufficient to make it a “Christmas movie” in the usual sense. The Christmas party is a plot device, and could have been replaced with a different one without significantly altering the plot of the film.
I’m in the UK and the premiere was on the 27th November.
It certainly was aimed as a Christmas movie for a lot of the world.
The Muppets Christmas Carol is my favourite Christmas movie.
“Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.”
THE GOOSE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Everyone keeps saying that, but it could be a random party. It’s not particularly important that the party is Christmas, the company could be having an Easter celebration or even just a random party for a specific milestone for the company. As far as I remember, there’s nothing particular about being Christmas other than the decorations.
Thats a pretty thin argument. “If you replace this part of the movie, it could be completely different!”
Is home alone not a christmas movie because they also could have taken any vacation and left their kid at home?
Home alone has to be set during Christmas, these are crucial parts of the plot:
- The entire block travels at the same time
- Houses have decorations, which are used as traps
- Houses have lights that turn on at a specific time
- It has to be set during winter
So if you could have a different holiday during winter where lots of people decorate their houses to turn on lights at a specific time, then it wouldn’t necessarily be a Christmas movie. Otherwise you need to change crucial points of the plot.
Other examples are Jingle all the way or Nightmare before Christmas you can’t change the Christmas theme in those movies. I mean, you can but you’ll end up with a very different movie. Whereas if you change Christmas on Die Hard for any other party event only the decoration changes, the plot of the movie would be essentially the same.
“If Elf was about a human raised by bunnies and then Buddy helped a family learn the true meaning of Easter it would be an Easter movie! So Elf isn’t a Christmas movie.”
That’s what this argument sounds like to me. You’re hyper focusing on one tiny element of the story. Yes, there are not many Christmas parts, but taken together they are sufficient to make a Christmas movie. If the party wasn’t Christmas themed you’d still have Christmas themed misic and a movie about a man trying to fix his family (super common Christmas trope).
no it’s not
you 'muricans are wierd
Yes, it is.
I used to think it was just a movie that happened during Christmas, but it wasn’t a Christmas movie. I changed my mind when it was pointed out that the movie wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t Christmas. He was visiting his family for Christmas. It’s not a typical Christmas movie, but it is a Christmas movie.
My $.02
Who said we are
terroristsjust Americans here?
Yes, along with the dress being blue.
Gremlins is also a Christmas movie.
So is Mortal Kombat from the 90s. It’s all about people fighting to be number 1. Just like Christmas shopping.
Absolutely a Christmas movie
