Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 6 hours ago, Dirty Dan Dawkins said: At one time. Probably not today. It is the time of the movie whereof we speak. Preserved forever in film; and we are able to appreciate it. Loretta Young died full of years at 87 over 20 years ago. So, as you say, 'probably not today'. One way of looking at it, I suppose.

"It’s a scenario that forces Norris’s Hunter to ditch the Christmas jumpers and egg nog and head out into battle" I remember the movie, and I know what eggnog is. But what the heck is "Christmas jumpers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 i liked watching the die hards and first bloods - never thought they would become a tradition but always thought they were a christmas time movie , just like the wizard of oz has always been that other time of the year ......some things become tradition , i always fall back to the 40s and 50s movies this time of year seem way less political to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
