I Won't Be Watching FX's A Christmas Carol -- And You Really Shouldn't Either
Preface: I usually enjoy writing jovially and being somewhat silly in my blog posts, but considering I finished reading Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol and watched the 1950s film version of my favorite story, I have EVERY RIGHT TO BE ROYALLY UPSET/ANGRY WITH FX.
I had no idea that FX was going to be doing a 2010s version of this classic until about 20 minutes ago. After trying to find the Animaniacs' version of the story, I stumbled upon a two-three minute trailer for this, and I was excited. That was, until I saw the video on YouTube.
Something just felt off about the whole thing. So I did some more looking, read a couple reviews, and I was stunned to find that they have left out the main themes of the story. This is WHY I think anyone with a sane mind should avoid this rendition at all costs.
I get that FX wanted to do a rendition and all that, which I am typically fine with, but by leaving out the main point Dickens was attempting to communicate in this story, they should be ashamed with what they did. They should be ashamed of how they screwed up this story.
The more I read, the more I fumed. If you are going to do a rendition of any story, but leave out the main themes and message behind the story itself, then please stay out of it. I won't get into political ideology here, but from what I have seen, this rendition looks like leftist propaganda.
I know i can't keep people from watching this and liking it, It is your choice to watch this steaming pile of crap, but if you aren't familiar with Dicken's version, I would not watch this garbage at all. Just know that it does NOT adhere to the message originally intended and that if you really want to know what it is, I'm not going to abide by your laziness and tell you what it is. You will have to read the original material yourself.
As for FX, you have made a terrible decision for allowing this steaming pile of horsecrap on your network. And I wouldn't be surprised if you have an issue with Dickens. After all, (mockingly) he was white and because of his skin color, is a bad, bad man.
