Forget classics like Christmas Vacation, Miracle on 34th Street, Jingle All The Way or It's a Wonderful Life. This movie, like so, so, soooooooooooooo many other movies used the story of A Christmas Carol by Dickens to entertain us. When I say us, I figure me and that other person who may have tuned in to watch it at 4pm on a Saturday. Introducing....
Because Hallmark cares about YOU!
Isn't it just wonderful, just when you think nobody cares about you anymore, someone at Hallmark digs out Tori Spellings old headshot and says "isn't it time we dragged this old bat out again?" or "I suppose we should throw her another bone, maybe she'll finally give up those hideous reality TV shows". Ah, it's Christmas. Love is in the air.
You may ask what the fabulous Bubba Shatner is doing in that movie. He plays Dr. Bob (and the spirit of Christmas present).
And Gary Coleman? The spirit of Christmas past obviously. Duh! But really, it's all about Tori Spelling (Carol) who is a bitch and then goes through the entire run of A Christmas Carol by Dickens. Until in the end she hooks up with her only true love (totally hot guy) and makes up with her sister. But not before throwing complete diva tantrums, making out with hot guy, holding Bubba Shatners suspenders and being locked into a coffin.
Tori says Merry Christmas (and go buy my movie) bitches!
Ha! I've seen this version! should I admit this?
ReplyDeleteSx
She makes out with her sister?
ReplyDeleteEwwww.
Scarlet: Ha!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be wise. It is kind of fabulous though. Was hoping I could mock it, and let's face it, you can but it's kind of alright all the same.
MJ: Now, that's something I wouldn't want to see. Where did you get that from?
my favorite is holiday inn...it's in black and white and just what i need by xmas eve...
ReplyDeleteI want to see this just for The Shat (I think I caught a bit of it last Christmas, but I came in towards the end), but I'm also intrigued by Tori Spelling's massive face.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like the kid from Mask.
Daisy: The title sounds so cosy and charming. I must keep an eye out for that one.
ReplyDeleteTim: She does have a massive head. Do you remember seeing her head up close in the intro to 90210?
We are talking blimp.
I totally mis-read what Tim said, apologies.

Good god, I change the channel every time her face is on tv! Seriously, that is one huge head! I still have my suspicions as to whether or not she's really a woman--she looks like a tranny. That jawline is just so masculine!
ReplyDeleteEven the Wayan Brothers in White Chicks looked better than she does!
Scarlet: Tee-heee!
ReplyDeleteIt couldn't have been the mention of shat could it?
Bingowings: Good god, now that you mention it, she looks completely like the ones from White Chicks!
Spoookay!
i am so glad i can finally admit i have seen this version...*sigh* xoxox
ReplyDelete(she DOES have a huge head!!!)
Oh I have to see this. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteYes she does have a massive head!
Tee hee Bubba Shatner!
omg. sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteSavannah: Isn't that a wonderful feeling?
ReplyDeleteDid you like it?
WPD: You definately should. It's fun, touching and total cheese.
Phlegmfatale: It's very delicious. It comes highly recommended.
What would we do without the likes of Tori Spelling?
Poor little rich girls with botched boobjobs who grew up in 75 room mansions and need to pay the bills too I suppose.
ReplyDeleteTory is married to a Canandian now isn't she?
Shatner is a Canadian Treasure. Last night the Shat got married to his buddy and law partner on Boston Legal...
they're straight but they love each other and they did it so that Denny Crane could transfer all of his estate without getting taxed to death.
It was a great episode because the discussion on marriage was authentic..lots of people get married for financial reasons because we all know that love is a chemically induced state of madness that dissipates once the hormones evaporate in your system..from that point on it's a decision and not a biological imperitive.
When these two straight guys decided to marry the gay rights chapter tried to register an injunction on the grounds that it was making a mockery of love...you have to remember that this is an American show and that anything involving gay rights is still in it's infancy so..
anyway the judge threw the injunction out of court (this is Massacheusetts the only state in the 21st century) because she explained that the government should not get in the way of people marrying for financial benefit or other instances such as gays marrying straights in order to have offspring and that the court recognises that love could not be THE definitive reason for people being allowed to wed...
although I think it's still against the law to marry pets or inanimate objects, something a lot of people should find out about before the wedding night eh?
Do you ever watch Boston Public? It's written and produced by Michele Pfeiffer's hubby. This has nothing to do with Christmas does it?
Is Tory even on the new 90210?
I was too old to latch on to that crowd..now if you want to talk Dallas or Falcon Crest?
Think I'll have another coffee do I sound like I am rambling I can't be I've only had about four or five cups mind you that can get your mind racing and then you start to go on and on and on and on...
I never saw her massive head in 90210 (never watched it actually!), but she was in an episode of Smallville and I marveled at her massive noggin then.
ReplyDelete...and Shannon [90210] has one eye higher than the other. It's very off-putting once you notice this.
ReplyDeleteSx
Tori Spelling always looks disproportionate to me. Like her head is way too big for the rest of her body.
ReplyDeleteDonnnnnnn: I like Boston Legal a lot. I had trouble with Alan in the beginning but you can't have it all I guess. Love the fact that they got married, then they are quite close.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I recall a British woman married a dolphin or something. Can't remember where but it was last year.
Let's talk Dynasty, that's my all time favorite show from that time.
I think Tori wanted too much money so they ditched her from the new 90210 (horrible intro music). I miss the good old days. What did you put in that coffee?
Tim: In the intro. I'll try and find it for you later.
Did she die in that episode?
Scarlet: Really? I never noticed. I like Shannon though. It all went downhill after she left 90210 and Charmed.
Tara: Or her body is way too small for her big head? I don't know, she is very disproportionate.
She does have an unusually large head for her body; it's like she went in for boob job, and they put the left over silicone in her face!
ReplyDeleteI never liked her character Donna on 90210; well, I thought she was annoying from the few times I've watched that show. I wasn't a big fan of that show. However, I did enjoy the spinoff Melrose Place--some of those actors went on to other great series. I can think of two of them now on Desperate Housewives!
I always hated Donna on 90210 (Don't let Donna graduate! Don't let Donna graduate!) Loved the show though, until Brenda left.
ReplyDeleteI never had the opportunity to watch Melrose. Who besides Marcia Cross (Love her!) was on Melrose?
Doug Savant, who plays Felicity Huffman's husband, was the gay character on Melrose Place! Also Alyssa Milano (Charmed), Kirsten Davis (Charlotte from Sex and the City), Heather Locklear (Sammy Jo from Dyansty and TJ Hooker) were all on the show.
ReplyDeleteIt was an outrageous and ridiculously over the top soap opera--it was like a whorehouse with people boinking each other and stabbing each other in the back, toss in some crazies and stalkers and fierce catfights and explosions! They had to be the hottest looking cast at the time!
I should look into that. So far I'm embracing my inner Trekkie - didn't know I had one.
ReplyDeleteHeather Locklear was in that airport show with Blair Underwood too. I liked that.
Had not expected Doug Savant was on Melrose. Nice! Thanks.
Yes, she did die in Smallville. But apparently she's getting better and coming back in another episode.
ReplyDeletePoor Smallville fans.
ReplyDeleteAre you a Smallville fan?
I misread the making out with her sister thing as well . Have you noticed she not only has an unfeasibly large head but its a different colour to the rest of her body
ReplyDeleteI have! She looks like one of the "chicks" from White Chicks. It's quite disturbing.
