Only good thing related to Jingle All the Way is when DSP said he was a nigger
 
Fun movie. The kids like it. Despite its sheen of consumerism, the message wasn’t about how important it was to get that stupid toy, it was about the dad realizing he needed to spend more time with his family. At least, that’s how I had interpreted it.

Sonic and Ernie side by side in this context is pretty fucking hilarious though.

I like Jingle All The Way. It's ok but anyone overselling it as the best movie ever is delusional. It was made in 1996 and the world was really different then. It was made right before the Tickle Me Elmo craze happened which I still remember somewhat. I imagine most people older than their mid to late 20's will remember it. I know the movie was released in 1996 but it was probably made in 1995 or so. Like a years worth of production maybe. The movie is making fun of the must have toy culture that used to be a big thing in the US. No one does this anymore as far as I know. With the economic decline the US is in and what kids are looking to get for Christmas changing over the past decades I haven't heard of this happening much anymore. I don't have any kids so I wouldn't really know.

I remember back in 96 with the Tickle Me Elmo people were beating each other up outside malls and stores. With people stealing them from peoples shopping carts.

You had to have lived through that kind of cultural phenomenon or know about it to find the movie really funny. Back when people had money to spend things were cheaper and going to malls and physical stores will still a thing.

No move will ever unseat Die Hard as the best Christmas movie.

This a common message you see in movies all the time. Like most normal people don't want to spend time with their families. Dad can spend more time at home only if the kids and especially mom can take a decline in lifestyle. I bet that would go over well especially with the wife. It's one of the most annoying cliches ever. I know workaholics exist. But it's still super cliche.

I remember rewatching Beethoven (the dog) and feeling really weird about the portrayal of the father figure. His family lives in a mega mansion and he is begging his wife to come back to work to help out (he even called them a great team). Like, supporting working moms or whatever. But the message was “no, men should work their asses off so that mothers can stay at home in the expensive mansions” (while the fucking dog that he didn’t even want literally destroys it all). I felt really bad for the dad.

That's the other side of the coin. In RDR2 Abigail wants John to buy Beechers Hope which is plot of land with a shack on it. She wants a house. But gets angry when he starts going off doing Bounty work. Like working as a ranch hand is going to get them the life she wants.

Rhino Blaster is the figure in Jamie's room that is on its back in one shot then standing upright the very next shot. No one told IMDB.
 
The world is a weird place, and you can sometimes find foreshadowing of future events in weird places, kind of like backwards echoes of fate. There's no way all the 9-11 stuff in the Simpsons or album covers was a coincidence either.
 
the length Arnold and the post office guy goes to just to get a toy is very inspiring. doubt most parents would not even bother and just buy something else.
 
This movie came out when I was a kid, and I enjoyed it then. It's also one I probably won't like as much as an adult, so I'll leave it to childhood memories. My mom's mentioned that the film resonates with her because she remembers one Christmas when she (and I think some of the grandparents) were running to several Wal-Marts and the like, desperately trying to find a Teela action figure. She found one, might have even been the only one in stock, but it was hectic.
