A German Christmas Carol Poster
Sure, it might be in German, but we won’t hold that against this wonderful new one-sheet for Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming A Christmas Carol which recently popped up at DVD-Forum.

I didn't know scientists knew German.
Tell that to Gustav Hertz...
Touche.
Gawd... when I first saw the title to this post I thought there was going to be some weird sequel to that horrible Zucker film "An American Carol" from last year...
I never saw that. Take it I didn't miss much?
It's a shame. The thing is things like Airplane and the Naked Gun movies really do tickle my funny bone from time to time.
From what I understand Zucker was one of those Americans who went a little insane after 9/11 and never returned to reality.
It's one of those classic problems, how many movies with "Conservative” humour actually end up being really funny? And basically, that was the main point to this movie, not the actual content and making a funny movie, but to actually release a film from a ‘right-wing’ view point to counter the ‘left-wing’ dominated hollywood.
Anyway, so most of the laughs are sourced from attacking left wing media people. “Michael Moore hates America – HAHA!” “He is also fat – HAHAHA!!” “Rosie O’Donnell is fat AND a lesbian” – which I think is meant to be keeping the audience laughing to the end credits. Unfortunately, he makes no real comment on the issues, except for the old “If you not with us about bombing brown people in another country back to the stone age, you’re with the terrorists…”
Basically, Zucker shifts from his older movies where absurdity gets the laughs, to trying a political humour with a mix absurdity. It’s not that it’s impossible. It just doesn’t work at all in this film…
OK, I'll finish now...
That sounds wholly awful. Thankyou for clueing me in to avoid at all costs :P
Meanwhile, odd you should have made the Zucker confusion here - when I was a kid I always got him and Zemeckis mixed-up. Had to have been the Z factor...
