Scrooged

YULE LOVE IT!
Today's Christmas Muralcle comes courtesy Dave, who requested Bill Murray's 1988 Christmas classic, Scrooged, which is a movie that he likes, even though it is categorically terrible.*

I'm not even kidding. Have you seen this movie? It's like some weird bastardization of A Christmas Carol, featuring Bill Murray as a heartless TV executive (aren't they all?) who produces a star-studded live edition of A Christmas Carol (Buddy Hackett as Scrooge, Mary Lou Reton as Tiny Tim) while he himself gets visited by the ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future. Also Bobcat Goldthwait is in there for some reason. Also also the "Tiny Tim" kid is an emotionally and psychologically scarred child who after witnessing his father's murder refuses to speak. God bless us, every one!

Really, I should have known better, because any time Dave says the words "best movie ever!" and "came out in the '80s" it always turns out to be a disaster (exhibit A: Johnny Dangerously). We made it 80% through before mutually deciding to throw in the towel. I'm still not sure if Bill Murray ever learned the true meaning of Christmas...

I am heartily disappointed by this Christmas muralcle, mostly because I used the wrong color for Bill Murray's skin so he looks paler than he should. Also, Scrooged is a terrible movie.

Dave's first-view reaction: Bill Murray! ...I think it looks weird because in real life, Bill Murray's face is really bumpy.

More pictures after the jump!


*Later he got annoyed that he wasted his "Christmas movie that your wife doesn't like" card on Scrooged, because if he had known, he would have picked the Jim Carey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.





The only part of this drawing that I actually like

Nothing in this muralcle makes any sense

Let us never speak of this disaster again

Ghostface killah
