yep that one there looks pretty great, brian, right up my alley
This last weekend I watched 2 amazing versions of the Christmas Carol


I know it's really hard to pick which one of these timeless classics is the best so I just watched both.
I actually did not grow up watching the muppets one, I have only been watching it the last few years. It's certainly a treat and probably the best muppets movie out there. I think I might have ruined the muppets for myself because when I watched this movie 5 years ago, and then watched their other movies which weren't nearly as good. But I would say overall I probably don't need to go into detail on this one as we all know this one by heart. This just may be my favorite Christmas movie.
5/5
Scrooged, featuring Bill Murray actually scared me as a kid with its dark lighting and when I was flipping through channels I landed on the scene with the ghost of christmas future. Now that I've watched it again, it's definitely a Bill Murray vehicle where he just kind of goes around being Bill Murray sort of acting as a character but also just being Bill Murray. Everything follows the general Christmas Carol formula and all the classic characters have different spins. I find it humorous that Bill Murray's character has a brother in the movie that is played by Bill's actual brother. Miles Davis has a cameo, and I especially enjoy the characters played by David Johansen, Bobcat goldthwait, and Carol Kane. If that doesn't scream 80s then I don't know what does. This kind of makes me want to go back and watch one of my favorite 80s movies again, One Crazy Summer. We've been sitting on the sountrack at the store for this for over a year and I was kind of curious as to why this movie needed a soundtrack released to vinyl. There is one Al Green song that is featured prominently but I think that's about it.
4/5
I guess you could say that I'm a big Scrooge head as I expect on Christmas eve as I'm drinking my bourbon and setting up the train around the tree, I'll be watching the 1951 Christmas Carol that I was forced to endure as a child every Christmas eve, but now have a special fondness for.
