At the Movies, 1984-Silent Night, Deadly Night

I remember the controversy surrounding this movie when it came out. Siskel calls out the film makers, producers, and studios for making this. Now of course they would have no problem making a movie like this.

Instead of blaming the filmmakers, the mothers who protested the commercials and the film itself should have done some f*cking parenting and sit down with their kids and explain to them that the show is not real. Another would have been to pay more attention to what the kids were watching and if they saw the commerical, just shut it off. It's bullshit.

Lol. In their defense, it's an awful film.

I love how he never once mentions how Billy is being tormented by the memories and his situation is making it continually worse, which was really the main point in the film.

Siskel and Ebert were fucking shitheads.

If he thought the movie was a shame or any other thing, why did he wached it?

Genes problem though was that the ad was placed on public television where it can possibly be viewed by unsupervised children. Also, as popular as Rule 34 is, its not really something that small kids will stumble upon by accident.

How dare you make a mockery out of a fictional character that we lie to our children about!

@BadLieutenant17 I also on this on DVD. I seen part 2 before the original.. when it first hit Home Video in 1987. I have watched it every single Christmas Eve since 1987, and tonight is Christmas Eve 2011... the 24th anniversary!! The director of the first one Charles E. Sellier Jr died earlier this year (january 31st 2011).
