#ChristmasCarol Revisiting the '51 Alstair Sim Christmas Carol. Another great scene this version added: Fezziwig watches as his sign is removed from his building, symbolizing that he was one of the first Scrooge-Marley victims. Marley points him out, Scrooge looks to approach, but stops short... 1/4

#ChristmasCarol 1954 Christmas Carol with Fredric March was made for TV. So it is a truncated version, only about 50 minutes. Despite that, it's a good watch and his all the key points. It's not very faithful. But it is my favorite Fred (Ray Middleton) for his goading performance. 1/

#ChristmasCarol - I have mixed feelings about the 1984 Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. It is among the more realistic representations of the era. And Scott is a great Scrooge. Many tout how faithful it is to the book. But in my opinion, that's what makes it uninteresting. Thread... 1/4

This sounds like a BS rule to me. The final should be played in Vancouver, the rightful higher seed.

#ChristmasCarol A beautiful detail of the "Scrooge" musical (1970) is the Christmas Eve shipping spree with Cratchet and his kids. There is quite the juxtaposition of wealthy shoppers vs Cratchet buying from street vendors. This might be a longer thread... It's important stuff 1/5

Today's #ChristmasCarol notes: Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). It was the first feature length Muppet movie directed by Brian Henson, and he filled his father's shoes brilliantly. This is among the best adaptations, and possibly the only comedy. Gonzo and Rizzo narrating, breaking fourth wall 1/2

'51 Christmas Carol with Alstair Sim: Fantastic acting, cinematography better than most. But the scene that steals it is when you hear Fan ask Ebenezer to take care of Fred. He doesn't hear it until Ghost of Christmas Past shows him.

#ChristmasCarol thought for tonight: I love the 2019 FX mini-series Christmas Carol (with Guy Piece) for a few very dark reasons. 1) Scrooge has an affair with Lady Cratchet - not at all canon, but adds a very interesting dynamic. 2) Andy Serkis, highly underrated when not in CG, and... 1/2

I will never forgive the 2022 animated remake of Scrooge (the 1970 Christmas Carol musical with Albert Finney). It yields no redeeming qualities over the original. The worst is the song "Happiness", which was done in a minor key in the original... But not in the remake. Why's it matter? 1/2

Need a good but economical watch with a smooth sweep second hand, or silent movement (I don't even really need a second hand).

I don't get the GOP perspective on SNAP.
If the just looked at a tiny bit of data, they would realize that a great majority of SNAP recipients are Republican voters. So this does not look good from their base's perspective.
GOP is a special kind of evil.

I hope I can be present when the Union enter Blake into the Ring of Honor.
Bonus if he and Bedoya get inducted on the same day.

Andre Blake didn't just star again for the Union on Saturday. He did so in the wake of Hurricane Melissa hammering Jamaica.
Thankfully, his family in May Pen was spared the worst of it, but the damage nationwide was still huge.
I talked with him about that, and...

Andre Blake stars again for the Union while keeping hurricane-hit Jamaica in mind
In the days between the Union’s playoff games, Blake's home country was hammered by Hurricane Melissa. Now that the club's sweep is done, his next games might take Jamaica to next year's World Cup.
