I swear Zemeckis knows what's happening and is specifically picking classic literature to adapt into his hideous, digitized nightmare so that people won't give them bad reviews.

At least we will always have this horrendous movie between us to laugh about. (remember the wacked out flaming ghost of xmas past?). If you must see, take 'shrooms, put the glasses on, sit back and enjoy this crazy ride.Team Canada Wannabeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125695349967975715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-40620804502380366562009-11-14T13:55:51.557-06:002009-11-14T13:55:51.557-06:00Thanks for the info.

That doesn't mean my heart will give up on seeing that Big C on the cover of the film though.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611922269342141654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-62835928835281713012009-11-11T08:23:54.021-06:002009-11-11T08:23:54.021-06:00the Alistair Sim version is THE definitive Christm...<i>the Alistair Sim version is THE definitive Christmas Carol--someone get that film to Criterion, STAT.</i><br /><br />They didn't take it to Criterion but it's just been released on high-def and they say it looks pretty good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-46388790809101342702009-11-10T15:41:34.767-06:002009-11-10T15:41:34.767-06:00To my mind, the Alistair Sim version is THE defini...To my mind, the Alistair Sim version is THE definitive <i>Christmas Carol</i>--someone get that film to Criterion, STAT. As for this version, it wasn't bad, but dear God, Colin Firth looked as if he'd been on an eating binge. Also, why have Bob Crachett speak directly to us? Talk about taking us out of the film...as if the freakish-looking people didn't already do that.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611922269342141654noreply@blogger.com
