It's hard to follow up a masterpiece.

I have very little faith they won't screw it up. I watched the last James Bond and it spit in the face of everything Bond represented. I know Bond was a womanizer but that was part of his character. They wokified the movie to the point it wasn't Bond any more. Good thing they killed him off at the end so nobody had to see them make it worse if they had made another movie.

I agree with Christmas story being a great classic.

They will. Tried watching the sequel once, didn't last 5 minutes. Completely different actors.

First thing I thought. Can't make it through even kids movies/cartoons with my sons without having "it" shoved in your face.

Can’t stand the original, doubt the new one is any better, cant be worse. I love Christmas movies, but that show is awful.

I read something about this: the impression I got was they were reuniting the actors, which sounds to me like a "later in life" sequel.
But if it's still being written, or subject to revision, anything's possible, including an infection from the Woke virus.
I triple-dog-dare them to do the right thing and avoid succumbing to that BS.

My feelings exactly. I never liked the original and wouldn't care if I never see it again. But probably will.

Nice Mopar cameo at the 1:00 minute mark, though. I'm in.

From the above link:

"We raised $1.4 million dollars in private donations, and we decided to build a new downtown park," Cowan said. "The 50 foot leg lamp is the new feature item in Phase 1 of the park.

"What we saw in 2020 was an additional $1 million economic impact during the holiday season from the inflatable, so we are hoping to exceed that this year with the permanent one."

The idea behind making it permanent is to have tourism flowing year round.

"We want people to come through Chickasha not just during the Christmas holidays,"


They used an inflatable leg lamp in 2020 but it got ripped apart by winds just before Christmas that year, hence the decision to make a 'permanent' one.

What's not to like? It was an excellent depiction of life back in those days.
