I can't type much, it takes too long, but I wanted to leave that comment. We recently decided to buy Joe3 a copy of Groundhog Day.

But I love it when the trailers for scary movies go with the less is more approach. Like what was the movie where the trailer was just one of those toy monkeys banging cymbals together for what seemed like FOREVER. Was it Monkey Shines? Whatever it was, damn scary without really showing anything. As for Scrooged, I've never understood how anyone couldn't like that movie. Easily my favorite Christmas movie of the 80s. You can't go wrong with a Christmas Carol parody/reworking, the cast was awesome (featured players and cameos alike... Lee Majors! Buddy Hackett! Really violent Carol Kane!), somehow mixed black humor and legitimate warmth very well, and Bill found parts for all 387,834,763,487 of his brothers, and that's just very nice. Man, I wish I was watching Scrooged right now. I should really track down a copy of my own before Christmas this year.
