Bad Santa, Thursday night on C5

[han]

IIRC I saw this at the cinema with Han when it came out. Looking forward to it.

Fucking hell. Did we?!?!?!?!?!

I just can't remember that at all! What happened?

I loved Bad Santa but I'd forgotten how 'adult' it was. I watched it with my 10-year-old son and just sat there cringing and waiting for all the questions. He loved it too btw.

You never seen or heard of 'Gone in 60 seconds' then I take it?

That's the thing. The only criticism I've heard from the mainstream media was about the 'shocking' language for a Christmas movie.

Well, if that's the thing. It is not a fucking Christmas film, or a children's one for that matter. It is an adult one. And a brilliantly funny one at that.

^^^What tea 'n pee said^^^

For those sensitive types like Buddy Bradley ('think of the children!!!'), there are literally dozens of 'clues' this ain't no kiddies film (such as, an *R* rating in North America, esp. the directors cut...)

Even within the film's dialogue, there are dozens of clues that we're not in Kansas any more, Dorothy. Let's see if, off the top of my head, I can think of a quote from the film for BuddyBrad...

Oh...here's one:

"He's not gonna say 'fuck stick' in front of the children is he?"

"No no no no! It's a Joke! For us. Adults!!!"

Or does Buddy need a hand coming out of his TV screen smacking him upside the head so he *gets* it?

I think you're a little confused. I never suggested it was crap because it's unsuitable for children; I said it was crap because it was a bad film.

I definitely saw it with someone at the Ritzy, I think it was you. But my memory of it is pretty vague - it was christmas time after all.

Willie: You know, I think I've turned a corner.

Marcus: Yeah? You fucking petites now?

Willie: No, I'm not talking about that. I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was like I did something constructive with my life or something, I dunno, like I accomplished something.

Marcus: You need many years of therapy. Many, many fuckin' years of therapy.


Brilliant
