A Christmas Story called "a timeless classic?" I had never heard of this movie before until about 6 years ago when they started pushing it on TV every year claiming it was a "classic" movie AND the unfortunate marketing push for merchandise began shortly afterwards. Christmas junk being sold at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and Target only to end up on the Clearance shelves.
Now they are trying to push yet an "official sequel?" Sometimes I wonder about who is behind the business hoping to eek out maybe $100 million dollars out of the direct to Blu-Ray and merchandising. Hopefully to earn another title of "yet another timeless classic" in about 10-15 years.
Oh brother......rant over!
