Comments on: A Christmas Carol Redux http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/non-fiction/articles/a-christmas-carol-redux/ From Modern Mythcraft to Magical Surrealism Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:11:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cat C. http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/non-fiction/articles/a-christmas-carol-redux/comment-page-1/#comment-8872 Cat C. Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:00:56 +0000 http://www.darkfantasy.org/fantasy/?p=1226#comment-8872 I really enjoyed this article. Props to you for mentioning the Xena Solstice Carol ep! Season 2 Xena is my favorite :0) I also agree about Carol Kane being the best part of Scrooged - absolutely hysterical, gets me every year. My dad and I are 99% sure that she was the actress that played the character "Nina the Nice" on Sesame Street a few times...to have echoes of that sickeningly sweet character still ringing in my head made it even funnier to see her bust a move as a manic, toaster-swinging ghost. General question for everyone: what about the movie Bad Santa? I've only seen it once so I'm not super familiar with it, but I could see Billy Bob's character being a variation of Scrooge. Anybody seen it recently or know it well enough to discuss it? I really enjoyed this article. Props to you for mentioning the Xena Solstice Carol ep! Season 2 Xena is my favorite :0)
