Well it's not depressing if you watched it as a child. Well, not for me anyway.
It's just not cloying and overly sentimental.
The very worst Santa. Page 10
Charlie Brown is such a depressing, loser.
I bet when he grows up he guns down his entire school, whilst dressed in black.

Is it a bit rude then?

What evil bastard gives you a hard time over Scrooged? Even my religious Jewish friends like it.

As I don't 'hang' in polite company I've never noticed. But I love it!
Love the theme tune by Annie Lennox & Al Green too!
I don't think I've ever seen it.
Just to be clear...my house is stuffed with Christmas decorations, the outside of my house is festooned with fairy lights, the loft is jammed with presents for the kids, we have our favourite Christmas DVDs on standby, I've just bought a turkey so large it looks like it's been rogered by an omnibus, (copyright Blackadder, 1989), in fact I'm well-known to my family and friends as a total Christmas spacker. (Ask James Harris, he will confirm this).
It's just that I have a problem with the untruthful aspect of Santa, that is all. It doesn't sit well with me. But no, I shan't be spilling the beans to my son. I'll just let him "find out gradually", whatever that means.

Scrooged is fab
I like the 'punchy' fairy, great use of a toaster.
well I'll have to give it a go then. I might have seen it, but I don't remember.
Lee - did you change your mind about the pc through telly thing?
And it's so dark and knowing and funny.
It's really dark, all that stuff with the shotgun and the really scary ghosts.
And that bit at the end where they go through the 4th wall.
It's such a crakcer of a film.

Lee your son isn't watching Channel 5?
I suspect Bad Santa could be to much of a reality check.
