I haven't seen a more redundant title for anything since Pennyworth: The Origin Of Batman's Butler.

With all the HBO Max content WB scrapped...this somehow survived?

 

[DarkKnight88]

IP!

And it's Christmas, so it'll get hits from people hungry for it around then that's not some horrible Lifetime/Hallmark movie lol

 

[Prison Mike]

The other 3 hbo max movies sound like they’re lifetime/hallmark movies. Lol

I enjoyed 8-Bit Christmas last year. That to me was a spiritual sequel to Christmas Story

I kinda felt the same way. I enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I kind of did.

But there was something very "plastic" about it.

Not that I'm expecting this to be much better. But if it's "as good" as that, then that's the best to hope for after that horrible DTV sequel they tried to kill us with.

Kind of curious to revisit Summer Story they made in the 90s with Kieran Culkin and Charles Grodin which Bob Clark actually returned to direct lol

I remember my mind being blown when I saw that on one of the HBO channels back in the day because I never knew A Christmas Story even had a sequel. At least that one actually tried unlike whatever derivative mess this was:

Clearly, I'm the only person in existence that's semi excited for this. I just wanna see a trailer already.

I mean, it was about an Nintendo.

It’s here…

 

[LoganPool]

One month out and all we get is a 30 second teaser? Fudge!

Still excited though.

I can't get over how dumb the title is. On one hand, I feel like it's SO dumb that SURELY it has to be self-aware. But at the same time, this is from the people who gave us 'The Origin of Batman's Butler'...

I like how DiscussingFilm has it in the tweet as "A Christmas Story: Christmas" which makes it even more ridiculous.

 

[Ninjablade]

I get what they're trying to do, but that title hilariously bad.

Peter Billingsley Returns in A Christmas Story Christmas First Look

[samsnee]

Should have put him in the pink bunny suit

 

[Lily Adler]

You know with actual love and care put into it, I'm sure a real sequel could work.

 

[Drizzle]

When the tagline is better than the title.

 

[Prison Mike]

My pick for the title would have been:

A Story of Christmas: A Christmas Story Story…Ralphie Comes Home
