Yeah, I enjoyed both. We actually stayed at The Plaza in New York once, in large part to it being in the movie.

Do you have any resolutions for the new year?

I loved the Home Alone movies when I was younger, as well.

Thanks for introducing yourself. Happy to have you! Patrick

With the winter holidays now winding down for most, I thought I'd ask what you did, what you ate, etc.?

heh, yeah... I'll take Die Hard, too. Without giving it too much thought. So many holiday movies...

My little brother (10) watches Finnias and Ferb, Spongebob, I, Carly, Fairly Oddparents, Chowder, Flapjack and plenty of others. I haven't watched FandF, but the rest are all enjoyable and funny. Everyone has different tastes, though, and that's always important to keep in mind. Patrick

What are your favorite holiday themed films?

Nice idea, brokenswordx. Professionally, I'm on point. Personally, I did get my drivers license, but I am not out on my own.

Cool. Thanks for the replies.

Welcome aboard. I watched Avatar with my brothers on and off when it was running. Cool show!

Yeah, I wouldn't throw all 30 year olds (or all 13 year olds) under one umbrella. I mean, most 13 year olds don't even take the martial arts to begin with.

No problem.

No problem, Brenda.

Funny video. Via Digg.
