Nov. 18th, 2016 02:07 pmBeing stuck at home for most of the week due to sickness, I've been indulging one of my favorite guilty pleasures, Holiday rom-coms on the Hallmark channel. I was watching one this morning, "Its Christmas, Carol", where Emmanuelle Vaugier plays the Scrooge character (named Carol, hence the title), while Carrie Fisher plays Marley AND all three Christmas ghosts (they hang a lampshade on it with Carrie Fisher's character being all they didn't have the budget to cast four different ghosts). Also she was Marley-esque in that she and Carol used to work together. However, she was actually quite nice before she got tragically hit by a bus, and its only after her death that Carol became such a hard-ass. Well, she was already on her way to being a workaholic driven only by profit, but once she took the reigns she went full bore.
Heh, anyways, one thing I found ridiculous about the movie was, they establish Carol as a connoisseur of books, that's why she became a publisher. But when time comes for the Ghost of Christmas Future to visit, she freaking googles "A Christmas Carol" to learn about them. Its like, who is that scene for? Carol should know already, and it can't be for the audience, because who doesn't know the effin Christmas Carol?!
Anyways, saw "Mr Right" on the DVR and went ahead and watched that. ( spoiler cut )
