    Am I supposed to recognised the movies from just a random image? Sorry, but I still lack cinema litteracy. I don’t even know who’s that actor.

      It’s Chevy chase. A drunk racist. If you’ve not heard of him consider yourself for the better. There are far better movies that celebrate the season without having to employ and hold up a piece of shit as a hero.

      That’s Chevy Chase, starring in National Lampoons: Christmas Vacation. It’s older but it’s one of the most famous Christmas movies ever. It’s a great comedy

        For anyone curious, Chevy Chase was apparently awful to his coworkers, which caught up with him and squeezed him out of his career. This culminated during a roast to his name that celebrities actively skipped. What made him rethink his behavior was Steven Colbert’s scathing but accurate remarks on the podium that haunted him, although his effort to change was too little too late.

        Chevy Chase

        *watch a recent photo of him* Yeah… I think I recognised him from somewhere. It looks like I have many old-school comedy to watch :) There is worst way to build an education.

          Well I wouldn’t want to spoil too much if you wanted to watch. It’s a comedy of errors movie, think like a Mr. Bean movie. Everything that could go wrong goes wrong. The family is all fighting, his Christmas lights outside are not working, his tree is burned, all host of crazy antics.

      Many, many of us do recognize it. And I don’t even watch a lot of movies. Also not your fault if you haven’t seen it though.

      Damn making me feel old over here with you not knowing Christmas Vacation. Great holiday movie. Worth a watch, a lot of people watch it as a tradition around Xmas time.

        Don’t feel old. I’m an avid watcher of film older than this but somehow I miss this. I just checked the french (very memorable) name to be should and no, never watch it. Well… It’s on my list now.
