That's my vote as well. Because I really can't stand Christmas movies.

The Scrooge Musical is pretty good

[Memento]

Well I do like a Christmas Story

That's the one with Ralphie, right? I think I hate that movie more than any other; Ralphie is a malignant narcissist and a sociopathic asshole who deserved far worse than his fate.

Hold my beer: Ralphie's dad.

Hold my beer: Ralphie's dad.

Yeah, I can easily see where Ralphie got his personality from.

But that must proves my point: I fucking hate that movie.

Man Ralphie is a kid - give him a break

At least he wasn't a bully (and he finally fought back against his bully)

 

[Memento]

Man Ralphie is a kid - give him a break

At least he wasn't a bully (and he finally fought back against his bully)

The "kid" lied and got his friend into trouble (his friend being implied to have been severely abused), then invented a "what if I was suddenly blind and you all felt sorry for me" sort of backstory to absolve himself of any blame. That's narcissistic behavior, even more than a kid would have. He wanted to have a BB gun for Christmas to shoot helpless animals with it - the first step to being a serial killer.

As for the bully? You mean the short kid, not the taller mentally-impaired kid? Nah, Ralphie went overboard, and he didn't even attack the actual bully, the short kid.

Now granted, a lot of shit is learned; like Faulk said, Ralphie's father was an even bigger piece of shit than Ralphie, so that's probably where he's getting it from. But that doesn't absolve Ralphie. Ralphie was an awful person, and he only loses the "biggest psychopath in a Christmas movie" award to Kevin from Home Alone.

 

[FaulkSF]

@Memento don't get me started on Kevin's family. The mother forgetting him twice, Uncle Frank, the brother...

And just because you don't like a character it doesn't mean you have to hate the movie. You liked Charlie and the Chocolate factory despite Grandpa Joe being the laziest shit alive, right?

I despise Christmas movies. EXCEPT. For the original Santa Clause w/ Tim Allen.

I make my whole squad watch it together with me every year at this time.

The taller kid abused Ralphie just as much as the shorter kid. "Cry Baby Cry" - that's abuse if I ever heard it

He wanted a BB Gun to be like his hero in the movies/tv show - can't remember. I do not absolve him of shooting helpless animals with it but that was not his intention of getting the gun. He was just trying it out. But a kid will do what they do. I know of kids that shot helpless animals with BB guns when I was a kid and I do not believe they turned out to be serial killers. Now torturing animals is definitely on your way to being a serial killer. Ralphie did not have any intent on torturing an animal. And I bet if his mom saw him shooting animals, she would have told him how bad it was and I bet he would have stopped.

I will grant that saying he is blind is bad. He went too far on that point.

As to the lying and getting his friend in trouble, I will have to go back and watch that scene.
