Did you know they made a Christmas Story 2?

Sep 7, 2012 2:07 PM

The original is a classic. A perfect story, narrated wonderfully by Jean Shepherd.

I understand reboots of films. I get it. But, making a sequel to a movie that had no reason to be continued...

This movie looks like an abomination and is an insult to the fans of the original (yes I'm speaking for all of us).

I saw this a few years ago.

Well, I tried to see this a few years ago.

It made my eyes want to commit seppuku, and they wanted to do it badly enough that I honestly feared they might find katanas and carry through with it.

Not wanting to be blind, I turned it off.

Sequels are supposed to be bad. It's tradition. But never has there been such a great quality gap between a first movie and its sequel.

It killed Christmas. And then it slapped Christmas's body around just to show some extra disrespect.

@107bear: Amen! Its a classic that they are destroying. I'd hate to think in 10 years that I'd reference A Christmas Story and they would think of the second one! UGH!

"My summer story" was also based off of the same book that "A christmas story" was based off of. it's kind of a funny read

A crummy SEQUEL!

They probably spent 10 x's the budget of the original "A Christmas Story", and from the looks of the trailer...it's not even close to being in the same league.

Will families be watching this stinker almost 30 years later? I don't think so, everyone involved should have to have a bar of soap shoved in their mouth.

And for the director...I can think of a better spot I'd like to shove the soap!

I heard that this time Ralphie does shoot his eye out this time because the movie is so bad, he did it on purpose.

Not interested, but thanks anyway. I am afraid it would tarnish all my memories of the original.

The sad thing is, people actually buy this kind of trash. Otherwise they wouldn't make such an obviously horrible movie.

Did you know they also made a summer-time sequel called "It Runs in the Family" aka "My Summer Story?" Which was pretty awful and of course included no one from the original cast.

Didn't know that. I hope it's as good as the original.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
