Not been CXhristmas time for 4 months, but due to my nostagia:

Loved this film as a kid. (Also a shame that humanity as amounted to shooting a person in line to get an Xbox 360 for your child's Christmas)

ah, yes...

i actually tried watching this a month ago but my sister kept telling me to turn it off. party pooper...

someone got shot while waiting in line for an xbox 360? gesum.

I thought it was a good movie.

It was a movie I liked quite a lot when I was a kid.

I remember seeing this in theaters and people really do act that childish in real life over a popular toy. Even new gaming systems have caused deaths and violence.

I remember someone getting shot the day after Thanksgiving for an Xbox 360.

This movie gave me a whole new perspective on "going postal".

It's possible that could have been the incident I referred to. (if Christmas sales start as early as August-September I'd definitely call that Christmas time)

And it kills me to think of it. Say you do such a thing. Someone who stood in line for 2-3 days for a hard to grab video game console walks out of the store with the system and you fatally shoot him, what's going through your mind while your watching your child unwrap a gift that you literally killed for. I feel sick whenever I picture this.
A few weeks ago here in town some dude walked out of an Apple store in the mall with his newly purchased iPad. The bag's threads were twisted around his fingers to prevent someone from grabbing it. Some other sh**head grabbed the bag and took off with it, successfully removing a couple of its owner's fingers.

To get back to the movie, gotta love the Santa-brawl!! And Ahhnold's improv with the toy detective badge was pure cleverness!!

Funny how I rediscovered this thread when I just got home from buying the new album by Austrian Death Machine, a metalcore band with an Arnold impersonation as the vocals playing songs based on scenes from his filmography. It includes a song about the scene where the Ned Flanders/perfect neighbor-like character eats the cookies not quite meant for him
