A Christmas Story sequel
- Thread starter Colorado
- Start date
So I saw this trailer earlier today as well which prompted me to look it up and there was a sequel made in 2012, which I had never heard of.
As a lover of this film since I can remember, I cannot imagine this being done well.
Few ever, let alone this day, have the tone and wit to match Jean Shepherd. Feel like this will be a reboot of the pop culture fixture A Christmas Story became, painfully self-aware etc al vs anything resembling a sequel.
Hope I'm wrong.

Someday Hollywood will come up with a new idea. Maybe.
Sure, why not. I love the original. If this works then great, we'll have another movie to watch around the holidays. If it sucks I'll ignore it. It's not like this is going to ruin how much I like the original
I have found myself wondering "what happens when the new ideals do truly run out?" I think we may be getting close to that reality.
There is original content out there if you look for it. The problem is people don't watch original content. People complain about all of the sequals and reboots, but they make them because that is what people watch.
Give me 100 bucks on the under.
It'll be held in the same high regard as Caddyshack II
I almost get "intro to porno" vibes from that. Watch it again now that I have told you this and try to unsee it.
In this stunning sequel, Ralphie finally gets a Glock for Christmas.
What gets more marketing, original movies or the latest regurgitated Marvel's garbage. I agree that there is original content out there, but it's getting harder and harder to find it.
I have seen it. It is as terrible as you would expect.
They market what makes money. What do you think motivates the industry? You think they are forcing reboots and sequals on us through marketing because they like being jerks? Of course not. They push reboots and sequals because their market research shows it's easiest to sell what people are familiar with. It's not rocket science.
Damon has a clip where he talks about why there are no good new movies. The dissolution of the DVD market plays a part.
I knew they made that, I don't think I've ever sat and watched much of it.
