Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

It's not a Christmas movie, but boy oh boy is it ever a pick me up and also my favorite movie of all time.
I watched "Harvey" about fifteen years ago. Fun flick. I wonder if I would like it more or less now.

I know there's a lot of films that reference Harvey. The first two that come to mind are "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Donnie Darko," but I'm sure there are numerous others.

Thanks, guys.

I had no experience making these, though, the Zelda box was the first one I attempted.

This year has been somewhat light on the specials. Have a stack of movies to watch, but haven't gotten around to it.

I'm recording Home Alone today and my son will see it for the first time this evening. I can't wait. :)

If I'm not tired post Sunday Night Football I may watch Die Hard today as well :D

The first time a kid watches "Home Alone" he's going to run around imitating Macaulay Culkin for hours thereafter.

I'm just hoping 4.5 is a good age for it. I was about 10 or 11 when it came out which put me near Culkin's age and made it my favorite movie for a couple years. I just hope it plays well with him, too. He likes Tom and Jerry, so that accounts for a nice percentage of the humor...

Yes, I was about six and enjoyed it much.

It wasn't until later on I was disappointed to find out that the gangster film doesn't really exist.

My amazing girlfriend got me a working Virtual Boy, with stand, ac power adapter, controller in fantastic condition, Wario Land, and Mario Tennis.

I've been wanting one of these for years. We've been together for about a year and a half now, and for college students, we both tend to go crazy when we get each other presents. But this. I was unimaginably happy when I opened this.

Absolutely loving it so far. I know it was a commercial failure, but this thing is awesome. I pretty much have the best girlfriend ever.

That's why when they handed the stack of airline tickets to the attendant there wasn't a number discrepancy.
