@Chris Biebel My guess is Carol Kane did that deliberately ! This wouldn’t be too surprising given what we know of Bill Murray Ah ha ! 😁 Great treat for a first X-mas movie of the season Jen Murray reacting to Bill Murray in Scrooge’s directed by Richard Donner ( Lethal Weapon) which we can call a Christmas movie 🌲too (yes it is) Cheers🫶

2024-12-08 01:14:04 +0000 UTCYeah, the redemption is kinda weird. He was such a huge a-hole before and during the ghosts, I don't understand why Claire would ever want to go back to him.

2024-12-07 18:48:49 +0000 UTCJust a bit of trivia on this. Apparently Carol Kane at least once actually hit Bill Murray instead of faking it as you're supposed to do when filming. Also, the guy who played Bill Murray's brother was....Bill Murray's brother (Brian Murray). It's funny how you mention two ghost partners for Scrooge. It makes it obvious that you are thinking of the Muppet Christmas Carol (there was only one business partner ghost in the original story). The reason that the muppets used two business partner ghosts was because they were using Statler and Waldorf for the role, so they needed to make it two.

2024-12-07 03:31:58 +0000 UTCI think she saw the Muppet one but I second the Patrick Stewart one, especially since she's a fan of Captain Picard. That George C. Scott one is great, too. People are most likely to know him from Patton and Dr. Strangelove.

2024-12-07 02:51:15 +0000 UTCAround the 15 minute mark, when the street band is playing, on trumpet is none other than jazz legend Miles Davis. Also, the scene at the restaurant just before he meets the Ghost of Christmas Past: The actor who played the waiter played Socrates in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

2024-12-07 01:46:56 +0000 UTCMy favorite adaptation of this classic Dickens tale are the Muppet Christmas Carol as just a fun take on it. For a more serious version, I enjoy Patrick Stewart's 1999 made-for-TV version: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216621/ I also enjoy the 1984 made-for-TV version: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087056/

2024-12-06 18:34:01 +0000 UTCAfter Bill Murray threw water on the waiter and he slipped was not in the script, Murry just slip in the floor he got wet but he stayed in character so the keeper it in.

2024-12-06 13:52:48 +0000 UTCMy favorite Christmas Carol adaptation was the animated Disney one with Mickey Mouse and the (introduction?) of Scrooge McDuck.

2024-12-06 06:00:24 +0000 UTCThe way Bill Murray is acting the ending seems like a psychotic meltdown more than a change of character. The only real problem I have with this movie is that the first half, when Billy Murray is an asshole, is way more funny than the second half. Same problem as Groundhogs Day.

2024-12-06 04:17:39 +0000 UTCThe man playing the muted trumpet on the street was the legendary Miles Davis, along with other greats - saxophonist David Sanborn, David Letterman's musical director and proud Thunder Bay native Paul Shaffer, and jazz guitarist Larry Carlton. 🎺🎸🎷🎹

2024-12-06 03:41:59 +0000 UTCIn regards to the scene with the waiter on fire; Richard Pryor infamously set himself on fire, which is why Bill Murray made that reference.

2024-12-06 02:45:28 +0000 UTCNot sure if you recognised her but Claire was Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Another 80's movie of hers that is cool is John Carpenter's Starman with Jeff Bridges.

Carol Kane makes me crack up every time she beat up on Bill Murray 😂 So much fun watching this again. Thanks to everyone who also voted for Scrooged!!! 😇🎄

2024-12-06 02:15:41 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite Christmas and I watch it every December and one of my favorite adaptations of A Christmas Carol. There is a version from 1984 starring George C. Scott and David Warner that is great and Patrick Stewart starred in a 1999 TV movie version.

2024-12-06 02:00:05 +0000 UTCYou know, I’ve watched this movie so many times in my life, and this is the first time I realized that Grace is played by Alfre Woodard. Anyway, this is one of my favorite Christmas movies, another great example of Bill Murray playing a character that’s absolutely terrible but somehow has a magnetism about him (just like Groundhog Day).
