Scrooged	comment	A 1988 comedy film directed by Richard Donner and starring Bill Murray, Scrooged is a moderately loose modern-day retelling of A Christmas Carol, with the twist of taking place In a Worldâ€¦ where everyone is already familiar with Dickens's tale.Murray plays Frank Cross, a cynical, selfish network executive who's putting together a live TV adaptation of A Christmas Carol for a holiday special. Frank's own childhood memories of Christmas are less than fond, leaving him initially unable to appreciate the spirit of the season. However, things start to change after Frank's deceased former boss and mentor smashes his way into his office to inform him that he is doomed unless he changes his ways. True to the source material, Frank is subsequently visited by the three very strange Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.Intended to capitalize on Murray's success in Ghostbusters (1984), Scrooged contains a number of references to the earlier (if largely unrelated) film; one of the taglines was, "Bill Murray is back amongst the ghosts, only this time it's three on one." The supporting cast includes Karen Allen, John Forsythe, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, Alfre Woodard, John Glover, and David Johansen.It's also pretty damn funny, but we shouldn't need to tell you that, right?

Scrooged / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Frank wants to replace the Christmas Carol ad campaign with one that features drug addiction, terrorist attacks, and the threat of nuclear war. The film itself plays up the Black Comedy possibilities of the story compared to most adaptations. In this version, "Marley" drops Frank off a building, a homeless guy freezes to death, the Ghost of Christmas Future has shrieking demons inside his ribcage, Frank witnesses his love interest become as cynical and miserable as he did, experiences his own cremation instead of merely seeing his grave, and the story caps off with an employee chasing Frank with a shotgun only to be recruited into taking hostages so Frank can deliver a message of holiday cheer. A Charlie Brown Christmas this ain't.

Scrooged / int_1777688d	type	Genre Savvy
Scrooged / int_1777688d	comment	Genre Savvy: Played with. In producing a version of A Christmas Carol, Frank is familiar with some beats of the story - looking somewhat glib when Lew's ghost tells him he's going to be visited by three ghosts; he calls out the Ghost of Christmas Past, advising he knows the deal, and also recognises the Ghost of Christmas Future immediately (even if it's not the real deal). By the point he actively meets the Ghost of Christmas Future, however, Frank is so rattled by what's going on that any familiarity with the story would be meaningless, particularly when the powers that be actively go one step further than showing him his own grave. In short, he has a pretty solid idea of how it's going to play out, but the knowledge can't help him to circumvent any of it or prepare him for the emotional impact when it happens.

Frank also thinks that he's an alcohol-induced hallucination at first, like how Scrooge thought Marley was an Acid Reflux Nightmare. The Ghost of Christmas Past is a heavy smoker, and at one point blows smoke out of his ears. The original spirit is typically characterized as having a flame or light emitting from their head. At the end, Frank dons a top hat just like Scrooge.

Also note that, somehow, IBC is putting on a performance of Scrooge, as opposed to A Christmas Carol.

Scrooged / int_319e4a2f	type	Even Evil Has Standards
Scrooged / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Frank is an incredibly self-centered man, but as the film progresses, has several instances of him showing a heart even prior to his epiphany. Prior to meeting the Ghost of Christmas Past, he dumps water on a waiter, thinking he was on fire. Afterwards, he makes some friends with the homeless people at Claire's Operation Reachout branch, even pretending to be Richard Burton in Hamlet for them. Lastly after seeing the Ghost of Christmas Present, he was devastated to find that one of the homeless men he met froze to death in the sewer he landed in. He even berates the guy for not staying at Operation Reachout: He also misguidedly attempts to save his secretary Grace from the Ghost Christmas Future, not realizing it's the version put together for his production, and prior to this, clearly cares when he finds out that Calvin is mute, asking if he'll be okay and more displaying a lack of awareness for the people around him and their problems; He didn't even know, for instance, that his secretary's husband had died. When confronted with Calvin's future thanks to his inaction and keeping his mother at work, he immediately regrets it and starts to throw out solutions desperately. When he sees a future version of Claire, where she's colder and more heartless than Frank ever was, he realizes it's his fault and immediately apologizes following the revelation that it's his advice that did this. The line spoken by Frank immediately after this scene to the Ghost of Christmas Future shows just how badly the vision rattled him. Played for Laughs in one scene where Frank finds himself in a cold, dank storm sewer-like environment and compares it to a certain eponymous building owned by a certain real estate mogul. It seems that even a ruthless businessman like Frank has a low opinion of Donald Trump.

Scrooged / int_a849183f	comment	Toilet Seat Divorce: What we see of Frank's and Claire's original split comes off like this. While presumably there were problems before that, we go right from seeing them both quite happy to her dumping him because the President of the network invited them both to dinner (something that could massively advance his career) and it would have meant canceling dinner with friends. Except even there, Frank is shown to be really rather selfish and egocentric. Granted, it's a big opportunity for him, but the way he talks down to her over something they've had planned for months, apparently, is rather blatant foreshadowing that he no longer really sees the point of Christmas and is more interested in what television can do for him. It's also debatable whether Claire really intended to end the relationship. She proposes "taking a break", which could be an attempt to let him down gently, or she could have been sincere. The latter option is plausible because she just about drops everything to come see Frank after he calls her despite it being well over a decade since they spoke. Even when Frank comes to her shelter, demands her to go with him, and insults her fellow volunteers for no real reason, Claire doesn't tell him to take a hike; she implores him to give her just a little time to finish working. Frank leaves in a huff. Maybe the reason they spent so long separated was that Frank just never bothered reaching out to her again after the Frisbee fiasco. A better example is Elliot, whose wife leaves him almost immediately after he's fired.

Scrooged / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: While they still mean well and are trying to save him, the ghosts do seem to enjoy tormenting Frank more than the original story's versions did with Scrooge. At the same time, Frank is a much more over-the-top dick than Ebenezer was, so it can be said that they have to up their game to get through to him. This is especially notable with the Ghost of Christmas Present, as she repeatedly beats the shit out of Frank. This is actually averted by the Ghost of Christmas yet to come, whose personality of being Good Is Not Nice is the same as his literary counterpart.

On the job, he coasts by on acting (such as making a generic schmaltzy award acceptance speech) and executive arrogance, but he's got no idea how to interact with real people. Part of his abrasiveness seems to come from a genuine ignorance of other people's emotions, such as his failure to realize Grace's husband was dead despite the fact she spent a year wearing black in mourning, or casually insulting Claire's coworkers and then being baffled and hurt when she's upset. Spending fifteen years with only television for a touchstone with humanity didn't do his social skills any favors.

Scrooged / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Murray shouts out "Feed me, Seymour!"'' in the Closing Credits Cast Party, to encourage the audience to respond to his hilariously over-the-top ad-libbing. The Ghost Of Christmas Present describes Grace's son's inability to speak as a result of seeing his father killed, and that he "Drifted away, like Sleeping Beauty." Carol Kane played one of the good fairies in the Faerie Tale Theatre rendition of Sleeping Beauty, so this is also an Actor Allusion. Kama Sutra is invoked with Claire's 1969 Christmas present to Frank, who promptly leafs through the pages and declares they've done each position he observes. When Elliot first barges into Frank's office with a shotgun, he briefly does an Elmer Fudd impersonation. When Frank dumps water on the waiter, he tries to justify it by claiming he thought the guy was Richard Pryor, a refeference to that time Pryor set himself on fire. King Kong gets two; Frank distracts someone by pointing at a random building and claiming there's a giant gorilla on it and later, during the Ghost of Christmas Future's first attempt to nab Frank, it takes up multiple TV screens before it's giant skeletal hand reaches out of the screens and behind Frank who has not noticed... only to be interupted by Elliot storming into the office with a shotgun. Grace and her family's surname Cooley is likely a reference to Cooley High Calvin Cooley's name is a direct reference to U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, who was known as a man of few words.

Scrooged / int_f9d43e10	type	Abusive Advertising
Scrooged / int_f9d43e10	comment	Abusive Advertising: Frank's ad for Scrooge is a barrage of modern-day horrorsnote terrorism, acid rain, criminals murdering people on the streets, drugs, World War Three leading to "watch the special - your life may depend on it!", or as Loudermilk calls it "The Manson Family Christmas Special!". Itâ€™s mentioned later in the film that it actually scared an old lady so bad she died of a heart attack and the network is getting sued.

Scrooged / int_feb72f62	comment	Literal Genie: The Ghost of Christmas Past acts like this sometimes. Frank asks him to take him home, the Ghost arrives at his childhood home. Frank asks to be taken back to his office, and the Ghost takes him to the office as it was in 1968.

Scrooged / int_ff6ae1f6	comment	Evil-Detecting Dog: Not so much detecting evil; when Frank and The Ghost of Christmas Present appear in James' building, the only thing that can see them is a neighbor's dog which barks at them until it's owner orders it inside.

Scrooged / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Lew, by his own admission, was a terrible person when he was alive. But he threw a fantastic Christmas party for his staff every year, and in the past told Frank, a workaholic even then, to chill out and enjoy the festivities with everyone else. He also seems to be genuinely fond of Frank, and his terrorizing him as a ghost is ultimately done for the sake of saving him from sharing his miserable fate in the afterlife.
