W_L Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I knew they would eventually do it one day, there's been a variation on "A Christmas Carol" for everyone, except the gay community. On a personal note, I always spend at least one weekend re-reading A Christmas Carol right before Christmas every year. It keeps me centered. It's beyond politics and beyond social conventions: I've seen at least one conservative version of "A Christmas Carol" called "An American Carol" with the holiday being Independence Day instead of Christmas, 2 African American versions, at least half a dozen cartoon versions, plus the classic 1984 version with George C. Scott. It is one of the most immortal Christmas story, second only to the Biblical text of Jesus' birth, but contextualized with human themes that still hold true today as it did in the 19th century. Now get ready for the gayest version: PS as a plug, read Bill_W's version of "A Christmas Carol" if he still has it on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I like the old 1951's version with Alistair Sim. Also the 1938's version. June Lockhart has a part in that one... you know Lassie's mother. I just love the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Round_One Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The trailer looks rather full of stereotypes, wouldn't you say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpeggio Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I don't really get where sexual orientation plays a part in it. Other than Scrooge's fiance leaving him. o_O Edited November 19, 2012 by Arpeggio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh5 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Very true ... the christmas carol scenerio certainly has been told in many ways ... and variations Dr Who certainly added more to understand that it can be told in so many signature ways. Yeah I'd look forward to read a gay tale of it ... lol, there be more variations to look forward to. Its a matter how fresh you can make the story W_L really I wonder how much would the classic story would ever center a politician beyond that the tale is a measure on the effects on the economy ... raking in the blessings of spending politician looking forward to open their pockets to welcome the lobbiest and the companies that send them money to make the very cheery lol, how about writing a gay tale ... that includes Romney n Obama ... since the both of them differ on the issue of gay marriage, etc many people would certainly get a kick out of it I don't really get where sexual orientation plays a part in it. Other than Scrooge's fiance leaving him. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephendelmar Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 kind of a lame trailer when most of it is just a montage to music. They couldn't come up with 2 min of dialogue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
