Some guy in my class was ranting about how this movie is really racist and some other bs. So it made me want to go watch.

...I'm not sure why anymore since he's really pro-whatever religion he believes in, so his ranting shouldn't of been much of a shocker.

I get press / media passes for movies, concerts and bunch of other stuff.

Besides, I had nothing to do that day. I must say, boobs everywhere though!

I don't see why people would think it's racist. The original, I mean. I haven't seen the remake, so I wouldn't know about that one. As for the title, I highly doubt anything racist was intended. There is no racism in the original film and I think the title is just supposed to represent a dark, evil Christmas. Hence, sorority girls being murdered during Christmas break.

The original is one of my favorites. The remake looks like utter sh*t.

Lmao, I suppose the guys of Black Sabbath are racists too?

The original I thought was creepy because you didn't KNOW anything about the killer. Who he was, why he was doing it, even what he looked like. I hear in the remake you get to know ALL about him, and I think I saw him in a TV spot.. wtf? He looked like the zombie thing at the end of Lucio Fulci's House by the Cemetary.

The sad thing is, a lot of kids who go see it probably won't even know there's an original, or they do but they won't see it cause "itz liek oldd!!!". Same with all the other remakes that come out every week too. Grrr.
There was nothing to fear,

Seriously, ppl that didn't realize its a 'remake' will unfortunately feel that the '74 version is worse w/out even watching it.

The word black? You can mistake the movie for being christmas about black people.

i mean i don't think it'll be a huge deal, but think of it this way. There's nothing 'black' about the movie, other than it's mostly at night and dark = scary. So the only reason they named it 'black' christmas is cause it's the opposite of white christmas, which in most people's minds is a good thing. So it just perpetuates the idea that 'black' = bad and 'white' is good.

it's along the same lines as calling any aggressive/dangerous variation of a species 'africanized' (africanized bees).

again, not too big of a deal. I just think it's funny.

^ i agree. what kind of dumba** would mistaken black to mean about black people? It obviously means eerie, the opposite of a GOOD christmas.

Yeah, if you're a complete ignoramus. If you go see a movie thinking it's about black people celebrating Christmas JUST because of the title, you deserve to get what's coming to you upon actually seeing the film. You're also a complete ignoramus if you don't know ANYTHING about a movie, and start assuming things about it because of the title.
