Bah! That's not true Stargate! That a piss-poor piece of afterbirth spawned from the belly of a parody series that turned to shit after its fifth season!

Tell us how you really feel.

Scrooged (1988)

So I realized today that it had been a while since I sat down to watch a movie. For whatever reason, I picked Scrooged. I'd only seen one scene of the film before and was not prepared at all for that opening. The film was filled with lots of surprises like that, Danny Elfman...Karen Allen... It felt very uneven, including an adaption of A Christmas Carol in the middle of it contributes a lot to that. Definitely not one of Bill Murray's best. It's...passable.

I dare anyone not to laugh at "The Night The Reindeer Died". That should have been a real tv movie. ;)

As far as unusual takes on A Christmas Carol go, it's one of the best. And there have been several of those over the decades.

My fondest memory of seeing this in a theater was the Batman trailer in front of it. There was no title screen, just the stylized Bat logo. As the trailer ended, these two ladies a row or two in front me exclaimed, "What's the name of the movie?" >_<

I friggin love this movie, and consider it a top 5 Bill Murray performance.

My favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol, though for a traditional performance, nothing touches George C Scott as Scrooge.
