You was doing it wrong then. Even at 6, I figured out you could connect the rca cables that came with the NES to the VCR. Just had to change the channel to 3, but you could record game footage!!!

man VCR’s back in 86 cost 200 to 300 bucks….. when we had the tv with the antenna…. I would have only dreamed about being able to have a Nintendo and VCR …..

Found a 1986 article talking about the costs of vcr

hell I remember when them shits were like 1000 and were louder then a mutherfucker… first VCr I remember was in the library of my elementary school and there was this big ass note on it saying “Do Not Touch”
 
I really have to tell my mom how much I appreciate her next time we speak.

She had the Atari, Nintendo, Sega Gen, and every system I wanted every Christmas. It wasn't until I got older that I realized how much she had to work to get those systems (pops was hustling but mom held it down.)

Appreciate your mom folks :cheers:


Side note: my pops cut the cord on my SNES because he needed a piece for some bullshit and later did the same to my Sega Gen. Till this day I haven't let him forget that shit.

Man that trailer brought back so many fucking memories ...

Kats do not understand the struggle ....

I fucking remember being one of the kats on the outside trying to go over to the house of a kid that I couldn't fucking stand only because he had a Nintendo ...... and when that fucker's parents gave him a Power glove.... Good lord

Man I hope that have a Scene with my boy ROB the Robot in it..

You just can't have a nintendo movie without showcasing the Holy (USELESS) Grail that was the Nintendo Deluxe set.

ROB didn't serve a gawd damn purpose but man did he look cool as shit.

I wanted this so bad, but parents weren't about to get their 7 year old Bronx boy a gun. However; mom didn't care when I had a Super Soaker a few years later. So I call BullShit. It probably was the hefty price tag that influenced that. I still remember the level of concentration they had reading those instructions and acting like they were trying land an unmanned space shuttle on the moon. Good old days
:lol:
 
I’d give them some slack… for the made up two player game on an Nintendo but the scene right after is fucking hilarious
 
You bastards got me with the feels with this ending.

got me with the feels…. Man that ending hit too close to home. Way to close to home.

loved this movie… this was a nice old school type of Christmas movie.

This is a great movie. Just well played in every damn way. With so much bad writing these days, I have to give respect to the folks who wrote this shit. Going in my Xmas classic folder.

Don't want to spoil anything, but yeah, the ending was deep, but I like the way they did the final scene.

shit was way better then I even thought it would be… definitely a Christmas classic. I’d put this right behind Christmas story in my annual Christmas movie collection…. I actually kind of wish that Warner Bros put this on the big screen because a lot of people are going to miss out on this gem.
 
Only bad thing in the movie was they did have to shoehorn their woke, gender talking point. At one point, the 10-year-old girl asks :confused: "what are girl boots?" Basically trying to suggest in the modern era there isn't clothing by gender. :hmm: So take it this little girl who is in the MIDWEST has never been to a store in her life and seen girl/boys or mens/women sections. Never went online and seen that shit.

As usual in this day and age, writers insist on placing their talking points in when the points don't fit.

Movie is still great and an instant classic IMHO, it's just that part is such obvious bullshit. Especially for those of us who notice the forced nature of all the weirdo/gender shit they keep pushing into entertainment.

Well Christmas story became an institution until AFTER it home video and TV. I noticed that a few HBO Max projects are popping up on TNT. GIve it a few years and they will be doing 8 bit christmas marathons.
 
I think one of the Lesser realize things about this movie is there wasn't a black person quota. Typically and movies like this there's only one black kid, but there were three.

Teeny tiny progress, but progress
