I’m watching yet another take on Dicken’s, A Christmas Carol. This one is a cross between Groundhog Day and Scrooged (though not as funny). I never get tired of these movies revisiting the concept of turning someone selfish into someone thoughtful.
You would think that a character as famous as Scrooge would eventually solve the issue of scrooges. I guess it’s obvious, but it only just hit me like the volume of the commercials when this film took a break; Scrooges don’t know they are.
Yes, I know that was the point in the original and all the decades of subsequent versions, but even when scrooges watch a movie about scrooges (some of them must at least bother to watch, right?) they don’t see it as them.
Very bothersome.
What’s it going to take? Bugs me when the bad guys get to just go ahead and continue to be bad guys. /sigh
Merry Christmas to all those non-scrooges out there. If you run into one, give them a kick.
