As far as I can tell, no. It's joked about but not celebrated.

Talk about tonal whiplash. Lol!

Well, in my country, Christmas is celebrated on January 7th, so it's just a slightly more special day in the two-week New Year's festivities.

Well I usually watch a movie or episodes.

On Christmas I have most of my DVDs for the year in as it usually is too cold to ship anything.

I've been watching 1st runs of new stream shows on DVD or current year ones. Watching The Bad Batch , Titans , Agatha Rasin and Strange New Worlds this week. Other runs caught up on DVD.

Returning

Agatha Rasin Series II - IV (Renewed for Series V)
Doc Martin Series VI - IX (Renewed for final Series X)
Cobra Kai Series V (Streamed on Netflix) (Renewed for Series VI)
Scooby-Doo And Guess Who Series I and II (Velma! airing on HBO Max)
Star Wars - The Bad Batch Series I (Renewed for Series II)
Star Wars - The Mandalorian Series II (Renewed for Series III)
Star Trek Discovery Series IV (Renewed for Series V)
Star Trek Picard Series II (Renewed for 3rd and Final Series)
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Series I(Renewed for Series II)
Titans Series III (Series IV airing on HBO Max)

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who had replaced Be Cool Scooby-Doo. Guess Who moved to HBO Max.

Easter is typically the Big Holiday for you guys, isn't it? Or am I thinking of your less-than-friendly neighbors.

It seemed to me that Easter in all Christian countries is considered a great holiday and is only celebrated in different ways.

Well I watched Rocky VIII Creed II. Just when things seem like the final movie they decide to do a Rocky IX Creed III.

As for Christmas it generally is a cash grab and cash cow ( Different aspects) which has sort of let the air out of the room and the meaning of it is lost on a lot of people.

I will watch a movie which isn't any of the old stand by movies that turn up on Christmas.

I don't think the Creed movies are actually considered Rocky 7 8 and 9, they're just Creed 1 2 and 3.

Labeling spinoff films as part of the main line along with keeping their numbering must make keeping track of full titles a nightmare.
Is Freddy Vs Jason's true title A Nightmare On Elm Street 8 Friday the 13th 12 Jason 3 Freddy Vs Jason?

wentwood · 11-20-2022, 10:38 AM

Wiki said Creed III was the 9th in the series over all. The numbering depends on when they were released. Man Of Steel is the 6th Superman movie over all. The Nick TMNT live moves are 5th and 6th total released. Bumblebee is the 6th over all Trans Formers movie for live films.

There are movies that come out not part of the main live films. (Like Solo and Rogue 1.)

Need to upgrade

Star Trek I - X
Rocky V
Scooby-Doo
Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed
Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island
Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost
Scooby-Doo And The Alien Invaders
Scooby-Doo And The Cyber Chase
Crocodile Hunter - Collision Course
Inspector Gadget
Inspector Gadget 2

From VHS to DVD. Then my movies library will be 100 % DVD.

TV shows upgraded to DVD

Ben 10 (2005)
Samurai Jack
Taped episodes of Power Rangers Via Shout Factory DVD (fills in any not previously
taped.)

Need to upgrade

Taped episodes of Teen Titans

I'm buying movies released during VHS on DVD pre 2005 as well. Before going exclusively DVD.
