I think the black and white makes 19th century England look all that more dreary and desparate. "A troika of ghosts" - you don't hear that every day.<br /><br />Heff<br />I found the book boring but the movie was funny. Jenna Jaimison was friggin hot in it too.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-27697066506053419622010-05-13T11:00:31.129-04:002010-05-13T11:00:31.129-04:00Howard Stern's Private Parts was NOTHING like ...Howard Stern's Private Parts was NOTHING like the book, but still funny as hell.Heffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396114362826135207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-71694050935044856992010-05-13T00:21:19.770-04:002010-05-13T00:21:19.770-04:00the moment of redemption. its never too late to jo...the moment of redemption. its never too late to join the human race. a troika of ghosts will accelerate the process. very good choice and not much danger of jinx either. never read it. saw the movie. amazing how crisp black and white is! happy MCW, buzz!chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-4052433265405195872010-05-12T15:10:18.823-04:002010-05-12T15:10:18.823-04:00Had to read the book for school.

Funny movie.<br /><br />Pam<br />Dickens is an easier read then Shakespeare. He ahd a way of showing what life was like back then. It's the latter part of this movie I like best.<br /><br />Dani<br />Thanks. I thought everyone would enjoy Christmas in May.<br /><br />Moi<br />I imagine that is a great part for a kid to have in a school play. Did you have the skeleton hand to point at the grave stone? Bwahahaha <br /><br />Madman<br />This is a Christmas tradition for me. I really don't know if I would be in the propper state of mind to watch this any other time. Same deal with It's a Wonderful Life.<br /><br />Karl<br />Glad I could spread some Christmas cheer.<br /><br />Boxer<br />Until recently I thought the name of this movie was A Christmas Carol instead of Scrooge. I think I've seen just about every adaptation and I always go back to this one. ScroogeD is a comedy that I could watch any time (David Johansen is really funny). I have to be in the right mood for Scrooge.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243099844770061125.post-13462519457346294442010-05-12T11:58:28.465-04:002010-05-12T11:58:28.465-04:00I like the version you picked - it is the closest ...I like the version you picked - it is the closest to NON Hollywood of them all.

Dickens was ... well, the Dickens for me usually and probably where the phrase comes from! Except Tale of Two Cities.

The remakes just haven't quite cut it Although the blonde whiny ghost of Xmas Present did afford a laugh when she kept punching scrooge in the head...Can't recall the Actress name or which remake but remember that scene...Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021504621181130629noreply@blogger.com
