Scrooged

Though I was not interested in watching this film to begin with, tonight we'll be watching Scrooged. Someone said it was worth watching, and would redeem the general "Christmas Carol" storyline after this fiasco.



I am so confused...my understanding was that this was an interpretation of A Christmas Carol.
Instead, it has opened with a scene of Santa’s workshop, being attacked by some sort of gunmen.
Ahh, it’s a preview on TV for a fake Christmas movie.

Wow, those were awful commercials.

So, I guess he’s the producer of the worst advertising company. Ever.

“We don’t want to scare the dickens out of people” – HAHAHAHAHAHA!

O.o He just crumbled up a picture someone’s kid drew!

I really don't like this whining, sniveling guy. I hope he's not going to be the equivalent of Crochet. Ah, it doesn't look like it. Whew!

What a MONSTER! Cross just stole an old lady’s cab, flipped her off, and then accepted a humanitarian award! :(

OH MY GOSH – a mouse just pushed a golf ball out of a ?corpse?’s head? Grody!
Now the corpse is threatening to throw him out a window, and he ripped off the guy’s arm! SOOO gross!

I do like that he looked at his watch to determine the years it had been since he talked to Claire. Wait a minute...who's Claire?

These kids are so horrible! They’re decorating their little mute brother like a tree :*(

I did like the bit with the Ghost of Christmas Past just walking through the door, and Cross walking straight into it instead.

What a sad thought...only having life experiences that you saw someone else have on television.

Wow, he screams a lot.

I'm sorry...this movie is totally weird. And depressing. And I feel bad for Bill Murray's hair :(

Unless something really amazing happens to redeem this movie, I'm going to give my verdict now, and go snuggle with My Love while we finish the movie.
I give it 0.5 sugar plum out of 5, and 4 lumps of coal out of 5. The only reason they got the half sugar plum is because I appreciate that they attempted to make this story into a comedy. Only they failed.
