It’s MAJOR AWARD!

I figured they would cancel the old version, so I bought it on DVD just after the New Year. Not sure how this one will turn out.

In the '70s-set sequel, Ralphie will return home to his old house on Cleveland Street to give his own children the same kind of 'magical Christmas' he experienced as a child.

No Darren McGavin, no Jean Shepherd narrating (or writing the source material). I won't get my hopes up.

No confidence, but I hope it’s better than say, the Gilligan’s Island reunion.

"Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie Parker in A Christmas Story when he was only 12, will be returning to lead a sequel to the perennial holiday favorite."

Will he or his brother be gay, or a tranny?? And will he have saved his pink rabbit jammies that his aunt made for him?

[mass55th]

They could probably get Bill Barr to play grown-up Ralphie at a cheaper rate than Billingsley.

NOTAFINGA!

Wasn’t there already a sequel to the movie?

[surroundedinCT]

39, this year, to be exact. It’s my favorite Christmas Film. I have a full sized “Major Award” up year round in my big window.

Bob Clark would direct it, but he was killed in a traffic accident by an illegal.

And Vince is conservative.

Here is a funny Vince deal:

"representation of Americana."

its not my favorite Christmas movie but it did represent middle class America...

those monstrous snow suits....the furniture and the kitchen...the Santa parade...

[griffin]

That’s the spirit!

Buncha curmudgeons here! Pay no attn to them. :)

[griffin]

Maybe for the new one they can include a Krampus parade?

[Viking2002]

Um.....this could be good. Or it could be bad. And I hate to tinker with a classic. They tend to be bad.

[ponygirl]

I don’t think so, but Billingsley played the elf toy room manager, Ming-Ming, in the movie “Elf.” (The “cotton-headed ninny muggins” scene.)

They won’t allow adult Ralphie to use his
Red Rider gun—you’ll shoot your eye out, man!

[raccoonradio]

There was a sequel made called My Summer
Story. It was ok not huge.
Been to the A Christmas Story house in Cleveland.
Jean Shepherd (author)died in 99.

[raccoonradio]

Yes My Summer Story

Scut Farkus and—hello? Hello? Geez, the guy hung up on me”
