Don't get the love on this one

DaveSimonH · 07-21-2011, 10:52 PM

Always been a favourite of mine, although could say the same about a lot of Bill Murray films.

#Waits for prankz to post;
Classic! Hope the transfer is excellent.

[Show spoiler]

About bloody time!

This movie scared the cr*p out of me as a kid at the parts where "Ghost Lew" and the "ghost of christmas future" show up. And yet, I watch it every christmas, and can't get enough of it.

Now to have it in HD and to watch when I want = WIN!

Yeah, we get "Scrooged" over here during the christmas season, and nothing homely like "A Christmas Story". We're weird like that.

(Note to self: Watch "A Christmas Story" for the first time ever.

)

Groundhog Day would be nice also.

kandraks · 07-22-2011, 10:09 AM

Groundhog Day has already been released in Europe (although not in the UK, and why that is is totally beyond me). If you don't mind importing, the German release can be found for dirt cheap. Oddly enough though, the European version that I have (with English cover) was released by Sony UK!

I liked the film, just not enough to even buy it on DVD.

Bam Bam Mickey · 07-22-2011, 03:12 PM

Fond memories of being around 10 years old watching this in school.
"what sort of a rat bastard idiot......."

I have Groundhog Day, i'll have to get this one too.

As a Bill Murray fan I love Scrooged, for me its an absolute classic and required viewing every Christmas. But I do have the dvd, and if the bluray doesn't include any special features or the transfer is below par then there is no real need to upgrade.

For me there has to be something worthwhile to make the upgrade from dvd to bluray.

Ok, at least with this film I don't need to slit my wrists to finish it

UUUUGGGGHHHH · 07-22-2011, 06:13 PM

This better include all of the special features from the canceled "Yule Love It!" DVD edition.

Yeah if it included that plus a decent transfer then I'd definitely purchase it.
In case anyone is wondering or can't remember here is what was supposed to be on that "Yule Love It" edition,

-Commentary by Director Richard Donner
-Christmas to Remember
-Updating Ebenezer
-Bringing the Ghosts to Life
-The Look of Scrooged
-On the Set with Bill Murray - Part 1 and Part 2
-ShoWest Message from Bill Murray
-Theatrical Trailer

All new threads I post in the UK forum are about UK releases

It is listed on Amazon with it's release date down the page, however not yet available to order.

darkest hour · 11-07-2011, 09:34 AM

Is this now cancelled in the U.K.?.

Unfortunately yes, it look's like Paramount swapped it with Scrooge instead which was released today.
