    Sorry Robin.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    100% good morning Vietnam.

    I used to know the soundtrack to that, with Robins commentary throughout, by heart. So good.

    WTF are you thinking? GMV probably plays almost daily on Broadcast/Satellite/Cable. Christmas Story has a shelf life of a few days near Christmas.

    Naw man, TBS does like a week of 24 hrs of broadcast alone. I don't think GMV plays as much as you're thinking, Boss. Plus, Christmas Story perpetuates a slice of life and holiday that should remain timeless and treasured. I love GMV as a film too, but man it's about Vietnam for the love of God and the message in the end is America's failure there. Not something you want to hold dear and close to the heart IMHO.

    I don't know that I've ever seen it broadcast anywhere much less daily. In fact, I just did a search for it on my DirecTV receiver and came up with 0 showings.

    I obviously voted for A Christmas Story. It can't go out yet. It's a timeless movie that never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.

    Same. But it's not December and nobody claimed that it was shown daily.

    It also doesnt disprove the the fact that GMV is never gonna be aired 50+ times a year every single year.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
