The best holiday tradition is watching Die Hard, the one true Christmas movie

Oh

Looks like my name's stuck for good


All hail Big Deck Energy Crow Armbrust

[interlucere]

Die Hard? that movie with a skyscraper and a bald guy in it?

[jurai]

THAT'S THE ONE

[interlucere]

never seen it

[jurai]

Oh man

It's a classic. I'll have to hook you up sometime. Jingle All the Way's got nothin' on this

[motiv8]

Two questions.

One: why am I not surprised and two: how do I block you on this and everything ever

[jurai]

One: IT'S A CHRISTMAS MOVIE and Two: Someone's being a Grouchy Grinch

[motiv8]

Oh, I wasn't questioning Die Hard being a Christmas movie. You're not the first person I've heard claim that. It's wrong, but it's not a novel idea. I was questioning your display name.

Pretty sure my heart is filled with muscle tissue and all that good stuff and not unwashed socks, but you do you.

[jurai]

My display name only amplifies what we all knew Rean Schwarzer




And bet you five bucks its a Christmas movie

[cardcaptured]

... Die Hard doesn't sound like the name of a Christmas movie.

[It sounds like the very opposite, in fact???]

[jurai]

It's

What do you call it...


Nuance?

[Once you look past the explosions and the Bruce Willis, you'll definitely see the Christmas! REALLY!]

[cardcaptured]

Nuance...?

I don't see how a movie about dying hard has anything to do with Christmas, though.

[GUESS WHO'S NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN THIS MOVIE. AT ALL]

[jurai]

Well it

...

It takes place on Christmas. And there's a dad trying his hardest to get home to his family on Christmas Eve.

[But...you know. With more explosions.]

[fiddlestick]

Welp. At least no one else is likely to pick that for their name?

Wait, is that really a Christmas tradition? I thought people said that as a joke.

[jurai]

It is pretty iconic I guess

No complaints here



Hmm? Oh yeah, totally. It's been approved by the writer himself that it's a Christmas movie. Just saying what we as a people all believed

[fiddlestick]

Oh, huh. Learn something new every day.

Maybe I'll suggest it to my roommates before they get the idea that the last 50 Shades film could be our Christmas movie......

[jurai]

First of all

Yours is perfect don't change a thing

[beastenderblood]

Sometimes creativity strikes when others are taken.

Okay well.

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

[jurai]

Heh, long time no see

It seems we're fated to meet under our pseudonyms

[maskreant]

[fabrefactions]

You weren't aware of this?

[jurai]

The name change thing?

To tell you the truth I forgot about it til Retropec posted again

Then I thought of something fresh

And couldn't change it

[fabrefactions]

So you truly are forever big deck energy. At least it is memorable?
