Did that last year with the kids. They move on to Die Hard 2 this Christmas. Stopping at 3 though.
At least show them 4.0 - that film is massively underrated and deserves more love.

Maybe in a fire sale.
But seriously, Timothy Olymphant makes a compelling villain. The only drag is Kevin Smith’s cameo, but thankfully that’s only one short scene.

Great now I'm dreaming of a movie with Olyphant and Patrick Harris. As as straight man I do have to admit having a massive man crush on Olyphant, well probably Harris too.

I love the theme of this, and of course it is close to my heart since when I was 11/12/whatever the most important thing to me was getting a NES for the holiday.. but seeing the trailer for this just makes me think it will be your standard 2021 safe wacky hijinks film. And that's ok for the kiddies but maybe not really what I wanna see. Anyway I have HBO so I'll keep an eye on the review..

Saw this morning. It's fucking excellent. I strongly recommend this movie to everyone here. It's a new Christmas classic.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Saw it last night, really enjoyed it. Huge bit of nostalgia, and fun to watch with my 22 year old son because we had to keep pausing it and explaining what things were or why things were a certain way in the 80s.

I enjoyed it. Could have done without the bit at the end but it was cute.

Pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. Took a lot of inspiration from several seminal 80s classics, but somehow didn’t come across as pandering. Watched it with my 9 year old and she liked it as well. Worth a watch for all the old farts from the 80s.

I felt like this could have been a series with these kids or more specials without the present day

Eh, I'm glad it was a movie and I felt like the present day stuff helped with the pacing.
If it was a series it'd just be endlessly (erroneously) compared to Stranger Things.

This should have been a lay-up, but, no. I thought it was terrible. The jokes fell flat, the comedic tone was off-key, the plot was ridiculous, the dialogue cringe-inducing, and the acting was just painful to observe. Couldn’t make it past the 60min mark.
Actual conversation between me and my 12-yr-old daughter after an hour of 8-Bit Christmas:
Me: Sorry if I’m a wet blanket here, but this kinda sucks.
Her: No, it sucks. I didn’t want to say anything in case you liked it.
Me: Kill it?
Her: Please.

I once got a mouthshaped flashlight for Christmas. Once could say it was literally a Christmas gift that sucked cock
