It was gone by then man....you had to be 5-6 by 1975 to relate.

Wait...so you're saying Krispy Kreme donuts kill your sense of taste? I can't imagine them ever actually tasting GOOD...but my sample is pretty limited. I think I've had 2...maybe 3 ever.
likely the reason i think its such a shit movie is because i can relate to none of it
That was pretty bad. I couldn't get over that the narrator (Matthew Broderick) was in the scene, and many times he had to get out of the way of the actors. I couldn't finish it.
How can you skip Rare Exports? It is simultaneously the very best and very worst Christmas movie that is possible to make. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-best-movies-that-are-kind-of-about-christmas/
You are welcome and I am sorry. It is like watching a train wreck that you just can't turn away from. Yet you feel this compelling need to keep watching it each Christmas.I still need to see that. I'll have to bump it up on the list.
Ahhhh, the mystery of Matthew Broderick's career. It certainly isn't due to his charisma or presence . . . or acting talent. He's the fat free half and half of Hollywood. The mystery endures.
As for this presentation, I got through about 8 minutes of it. It was . . . mindlessly energetic, like a special episode of Lassie Come Home where all the actors are on some combo of mushrooms and speed. Come to think of it, that I'd watch!
Yeah ... you're wrong. I also was born in 1981 and remember the Sears catalog probably until I was around like 8 or 9 years old. Maybe even older. It was like a damn encyclopedia. I loved looking at the toy section around Xmas.It was gone by then man....you had to be 5-6 by 1975 to relate.
I never understood why anyone liked the original movie, it was terrible...and turning it into a musical just seems like an even worse idea...
As a general rule, I like X-Mas movies...well...except for the Hallmark romance X-Mas movies my wife subjects me to... but "A Christmas Story" is just one of those movies that should never have been made.
wasnt there a story about a little girl selling match on Christmas and died in the end?

bingo. i was thinking of this story. it depresses me when i listen to it as a child and depresses me even more now I reread it as an adult. Why are so many children suffering in this world?Yes, the little match girl by Hans Christian Andersen

So much fail! Best Christmas movies of all time:
#1 A Christmas Story
#2 Die Hard
#3 How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966, not that 2000 travesty)
A Christmas Story literally has multiple scenes pulled straight from my childhood, including the stuck tongue (no it wasn't me!).
