    It's on RTE 1 at the moment and I notice that the elves in santas workshop are all played by children. Brilliant metaphor for the use of child labour.

    Yes the elves won't work unless they get equity rates.

    Can't stand the film or Tim Allen and yet it's on here as background noise. I need to get out more:(

    So many plot holes.

    You're too kind. Sadly I will have to decline, busy with Christmas recipes courtesy of Paula Deen.

    It's mostly whites that celebrate Christmas.First time I've heard Santa politicised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,499 ✭✭✭Yester


    Judge Reinhold from Beverly Hills Cops is in it though.

    You could watch hoarders on CBS plus one. Nothing says background noise like a woman who thinks a gone off cabbage she found under her fridge is still perfectly fine to use for dinner, once you strip off the black rotting pieces.

    You're quite correct. I've been reading too much Huffington Post.

    Tim Allen almost served a life sentence for trafficking cocaine

    ...pointless fact of the day

    Yep he snitched.

    He is surrounded by a lot of the white stuff in this film as well.

    Holy ****. Product placement by RedBull!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    I think it's pretty good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,499 ✭✭✭Yester

    I think they should have Eddie Murphy as Santa in the next one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,499 ✭✭✭Yester


    Damn it. Didn't win the lotto. Must stop paying the stupid tax.

    I think I know what the Captain is talking about. If I'm not mistaken, he's describing a paradox.

    Well it was originally a quote from Data on Star Trek, but after watching the film the paradox is if he is never made into Santa, then how would he have the memories of being Santa to stop Frost.

    Also, if he was never Santa, then he could never wish not to be santa which is what made Frost into Santa.

    It's a time travel paradox.

    Similar to shooting yourself one min in the past

    Thanks kjl

    I'm still a bit confused so I'm going to watch the Back to the Future Trilogy.
    I'm sure that will clear things up for me.

    Not sure kids would believe a black santa.

    I ****ing hate the way Tim Allen Christmas movies aimed at young kids always include this is Santa or isn't Santa real ****. Why are they planting the seeds doubt the ****ers?.

    Loads of kids Christmas movies are full of adults (often parents) who don't believe in Santa even though in the movies' realities, he is real. I always wonder where the fúck they think the presents he brought their kids came from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,499 ✭✭✭Yester


    Santa. Stealing our thunder!

    Tim Allen's smug face stands out though?
