^I did both!
Whamming is over, actually the Rules are up to 23:59 on 24th December, which I overlooked and kept it up to end of 25th.

By the way, what is the difference between "Unwham'd" & "Survivor" @Edington? (So I modify my badge accordingly)

Also I live & work in the same home with a person who got Covid since (and due to) Whamsday, who's not wearing mask and we literally are in close contact.

Not a physician but my perception is that having the virus in my home, my immune system is actually super active and a serious "battle" with Covid is currently going on. Which would lead to some kind of "extension" of my Covid immunity for a few months more. Cross fingers to that.

I'd say they're one and the same. To be Unwham'd is to have Survived Whamageddon, so it's down to personal preference. A thousand congratulations to you for your success. :cheers:
 
I was thinking that Survived could mean having (accidentally) listened to covers of last Christmas but not the original and Unwham'd nothing at all, not even covers. Nevermind, I've chosen the Unwham'd badge :D
 
Still one of our favourite movies, definitely.

My wife has actually been watching it with her parents since she was really little, like 6 or so. She absolutely loved it (and remember making fun of the birth scene by recreating it with a pillow), but looking back at it, she kinda is like "what were they thinking"?

That said, my parents let me watch the original Terminator, Conan the Barbarian and even freakin' Total Recall when I was about 8 and neither is really a kid-friendly movie as well.
Though with Conan at least, it was also because I already knew the Poledouris' score and I loved it really much and I was begging to see the movie it came from, if you can believe it.
 
Well, then apart from all the movies mentioned having at least some amount of rather visceral, age-inappropriate sexuality (to various degrees), I see you and raise you one Batman Returns, which is so family-unfriendly with its fetishistic overtones that I personally feel seeing it as a little kid irrevocably tainted me for the rest of my life. :D
 
Christmas childhood memories with movies, nothing better! I just remembered a good one that warmed my heart immediately.
Us kids always preferred sex-related than violence movies and so did our grandfather.
Many Christmases ago, listening our grandparents arguing very loudly in the living room:

Grandma: Bill, what are those stupid naked women you are watching? <woops, that got us kids attention in the kitchen: stop eating, giggling, ears wide open, slowly approaching there>
Grandpa: Oh com'on Melpo, just leave me alone, ok? that's how I like it.
Grandma: Is that so? Don't talk to me never, ever again, ok? <slams door>

<My sister runs and positions herself on grandma's way to the kitchen, so to tease her as she passes in front of her, we are all ears hiding in the background, trying not to laugh>

5's sister: Grandma, what's this bullshit grandpa's watching?
Grandma: None of your business, that's how we like it ok?

That's how we like it! :D

Total Recall! One of my favourite scifi movies ever. The "2 weeks" scene at the spacestation! :D

I will never understand how our society came to the conclusion that it's okay to depict people killing each other and not okay to depict them loving each other.

I thought both were now considered okay and swearing was the only no-no ...

This was part of a show broadcast on Children's BBC in 1994 and on the DVD commentary Tony Robinson actually says "God knows how we managed to get this past the censors" :lol:
