We are entering yet another Christmas season…and will be faced with, I am sure, another couple of renditions of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”. GIVE IT A REST!!!! Good gosh how many have been made? A couple 1000 maybe? Throughout the history of TV and movies we have had to endure remake after remake of this. Just about every sitcom has done it. They have made countless movies of it including cartoons and muppets.
This post is pretty much exactly what I created this blog for. Asking for moratoriums on certain things. This is one of them. How about no new remakes of “A Christmas Carol” for at least 20 years. Yes. 20. That is plently of time to recover from the horrible remakes of it and to see it in a new light.

The original novel will always be far superior to any remake.

There are a couple of remakes I really like:
The musical version with Albert Finney, and the Muppet version.

You want a moratorium on “A Christmas Carol” and what, force them to come up with something original? For shame.
