*Doctor Who Christmas Carol (already watched)
*Scrooged
*Jingle All the Way
*Batman Returns
*Gremlins
*Die Hard (on Christmas Eve or Day, depending on scheduling)
Plus anything else we come across. Probably a few Christmas specials from TV series (ie. Futurama, that X-Files one, etc.).
We'll also inevitably see parts of the Christmas Story when visiting with family.

There was an international infosec/hacking conference here last week. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go because of other issues, but I was talking to one of the government cybersecurity policy guys and he said there were a number of discussions about Sony.
At the end of the day, a lot of it comes back to the fact that they don't seem to have been protecting against this kind of 'loot everything' attack. They were mostly thinking about a smash and grab - a targetted attack against one property or detail; a script leak, or maybe some gossip details about a specific film. Which is stupid because the first thing an actual hacker is going to ask once they're inside the network is 'Right, what else can I get?'.
I mean, fuck knows what was going on at Sony. They didn't notice that terrabytes of data were being downloaded out system. They didn't notice that someone was systematically moving through their network. They didn't notice, apparently, when the hackers started bricking servers. They only noticed once the hackers just started literally taking over the network and pushing messages to end users, having already stolen absolutely everything that wasn't nailed down, burned down parts of what was left, and finally waving a big red flag that said "Im in ur base killin ur dudes".
Huh, the directors cut of Nightbreed is on Netflix. Need to check that out.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

By the way, the best Silent Night, Deadly Night is Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker
It has Mickey Rooney as a toy store owner named Joe Petto and a bunch of mysterious murder toys
It's totally unconnected to the rest of the franchise, and while it's mostly fun, it ends with a truly unsettling scene
Pino, the teen robot son of Joe Petto, has actually been behind all of the attempts to kill our main child character. The real Joe Petto is dead, and has been replaced by a robot under Pino's control. The reason he has been trying to kill the main child character is that he wants the boy's mother to be his mother. He then attempts to sexually assault her with his Ken doll parts, screaming, "I love you Mommy!"
Then he gets stabbed in the head with a screwdriver and chopped in half.

If I had a dollar for every movie with that exact ending...
There's fucking five of those movies?! Is it like the Troll 1, 2 and 3 situation where they have absolutely nothing to do with each other besides the name?

The first three are connected, I believe.
Silent Night, Deadly Night is about an eighteen year old boy who saw his parents sexmurdered by a guy dressed as Santa, who, when forced to don the Santa outfit for his toy store, goes on a rampage, inflicting punishments on people that he believes have been "naughty" (he thinks that is what Santa does because of his crazy old grandfather).
Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 is about the little brother of the first killer.
He sees his brother killed at the end of the previous movie.
He retells his brother's story while he himself is locked up in an asylum for various murders, so there's a lot of reused footage from the original. Then he tells his own story, in which he had pretty much the same trauma as his brother even though he was an infant at the time, and he rampages and punishes some naughty people or whatever. And then he goes on a rampage. It's pretty much only notable for that Garbage Day scene that I'm sure you've seen.
Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 has the braindead protagonist of 2 waking up from a coma, being neurally linked to a psychic teen. No further description is necessary.

There were actually only 3 InfoSec analysts. 8 of them were managers.
That's a solid ratio there

I think it's much more likely that they don't think it's a wonderful life is the best Christmas movie
once you get past all the hollywood liberals it's not so bad
A festering hellscape with sweet live reads
Steam
Yeah
I've watched a lot of Christmas horror, it's pretty much the best
The only other major contender is the original Black Christmas, which is shockingly good
Like, I have a soft spot for the Silent Night, Deadly Night series
But it's not because they are good

That is some bullshit.

I've kind of lost sympathy for Sony. Feel bad for the people who actually made the movie though.
Steam
So...you feel bad for Sony

No one is going to fly a plane into a goddamn movie theater and they are doing exactly what the terrorists want
This is, like, the best case scenario for the terrorists
Steam
The hacker group said they would fly planes into any theater showing it
Which is obviously a ridiculous claim
