Due to studio interference, the story now ends with Scrooge defeating the spirits of Christmas and using their unique time travelling abilities to save the Earth from imps. Tiny Tim is now a comedic sidekick played by Kevin Hart. There's a whole gag about him getting upset whenever someone calls him tiny, it's gold.

christmas boots posted:*me right after jacob marley gives his warning about the ghosts* calling it now this scrooge guy is totally gonna change his ways at the end I took OP's meaning to be the ending where Ryan Reynolds dies and takes Will Ferrell's place, specifically, not the part where it's a pretty standard redemption story.

if any of you liked Fleabag, I Hate Suzie season 2/christmas special, is really similar vibes. it's a welcome addition to the British sitcom subgenre of "20 to 40 something woman in the UK is sad" my rankings: 1. Fleabag 2. Catastrophe 3. I Hate Suzie 4. This Side Up 5. Starstruck

Watching Walker for the first time in a few years and I forgot that Ed Harris as William Walker shouts "I'm not an aristocrat, I'm a social democrat!" in the scene after he institutes slavery and before he orders the country burned.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Can you post some more really choice bits? behold, the forbidden minute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lD3c--x1Qs quote:Some viewers who caught the first round of Heritage Minutes on television in 1991 have a hazy memory of a spot that focused on Canadian peacekeepers. It never appeared in VHS or DVD collections and when Historica Canada inherited the Heritage Minute master tapes, the “lost” Minute was not included. We recently uncovered a single VHS tape containing the legendary spot. “Lester B. Pearson” (variously called “Cyprus” and “Peacekeepers”) was released in 1991 alongside the pilot Minutes and other classics like “Halifax Explosion” and “Superman.” The Minute was soon pulled because of historically inaccurate costume details discovered during the post-production process. As well, the Turkish ambassador to Ottawa complained the Minute treated his country unfairly, though the producers have said this was not a factor in the decision to pull it from circulation.
