Are you sick of "A Christmas Carol"?

A Christmas Carol is that Charles Dickens story with Ebenezer Scrooge, who says "Bah, Humbug!" a lot and does not like Christmas. It has been made into cartoon Christmas specials and movies about a million times.

No I'm not sick of it, because I don't watch enough TV to notice.

I see some version of A Christmas Carol perhaps every five or six years. That's not too much.

Yes, from the first time I halfway watched it years ago. No desire to ever see it again.

In May I think of nothing more than holiday traditions I can't stand. Gawd I think turkey is disgusting.

I like the muppet one, but the best has to be Blackaders.

No, but are you sick of A Christmas Story (Ralphie)? It plays for 24 hours continuously on tv every Christmas.

I actually have this mini-quest to track down a version of it that I saw when I was a kid which had some freaky imagery. It was this scene where Scrooge is talking with The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and he brings Scrooge to an open grave then Scrooge falls in and goes to Hell. It left and impression on me. I think it's a version of the story with a lot of singing.

I just watched it, great stuff and only a little bit of singing. Not nearly as scary as I remember, but alas. I love the cinematic depiction of Hell.

It even has Obi-Wan as Jacob Marley!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

From the comments under the video:

"He is so convinsing in the redemtion seen"

Thanks for the link, I enjoyed the clip. I thought it was odd that he didn't know the walls were hot until he actually touched his finger to it. Maybe in hell, you don't feel heat unless you TOUCH it.

Yeah, touching the hot stalagmite seemed a bit cartoonish. The big chain was a bit silly too.

The guys carrying the chain were kind of hot though.

I first started getting sick of it in 7th grade, when we read it in November. Then, my dad bought the DVD, and I was only able to get through half of it. But he was probably asleep so he probably didn't notice me walk away.

I first saw that one only two years ago, so I'm not sick of it yet, but I might be, eventually.

No. But I'm sick of people trying to recreate it.

"A Christmas Carol" is a classic. But, SOME people want to ruin it. Let it be!

I just read it a few months ago - not my favourite Dickens, but fairly readable.

yes indeed. the only one I can tolerate is the original black and white movie. All the remakes need to take a christmas vacation.
