How do you feel about this film?
It's a meanspirited turd.
It was surprisingly good, but once you've seen it, it has less impact.
>>78136837
So is 4chan, but here we are.
It's not necessarily a GOOD movie, it IS a funny movie though.
I went to see it in theaters when I was kid. During his rampage through town, the film burned out. The timing of it made me think it was part of the film. Left a good impression.
>>78136807
the story was actually okay. i had the benefit of not watching this til it had already come out and been thoroughly shat on, and i THINK worse movies of its same ilk had come out, and i watched this and was like 'eh not so bad'
wasnt great
wasnt the grinch whatsoever.. but it wasnt that bad
>>78137073
Reminds me of when I saw the episode of Spongebob where he's waiting for a package for the first time a couple years back. Nick suddenly cut the episode right after Spongebob's "I wasted my whole life waiting!" line.
It was funnier than the original at least.
that's fantastic, I hope some people left before a new reel was put in and to this day think it was a short movie with a shocking, tragic ending
>>78136807
Funny by how bizarre it is. It's so weird it's almost surreal. In comparison to the original though? It's garbage...but my garbage.
I probably would've called it shit a couple years ago, but next to The Lorax it looks like a fucking masterpiece in terms of Seuss adaptations.
It's shit.
>>78137227
yeah it's pretty much all over the place isn't it? horton hears a who was pretty good, whereas the cat in the hat was so bad it rivals lorax
>>78136807
It's not /co/ related.
I want to beat the shit out of all of the Whos from that movie because of how ugly they are
Good, but about twice as long as it needs to be.
It's shit but funny, would watch again

that feeling is canonically a phenomenon that happens in the Doctor Who universe.

Is being "better than The Cat in the Hat" much of an accomplishment?

One of my favorite jokes for some reason.
>And to a Mr. Luwho? I HATE YOU!>>78136807
>It was....THE GRINCH!
>What d'you want?!
Honestly? It's fun. Doesn't take anything away from the original and it's arguably the only decent adaptation
>>78136807
it's better than The Cat in the Hat
>>78137713
Your life has lasted twice as long as it needed to have.
>The Grinch is a mean person because of pussy
HE WAS EIGHT AND HAD A BEARD. LETS POINT AND LAUGH.
>>78139785
This. I thought Grinch was okay, mostly because it was a Christmas movie is what made me sit through it but Cat was absolute dogshit.
>>78139785
Getting stabbed in the dick is better than The Cat in the Hat.
If the movie wasn't based on a children's book and cartoon, like if the the book and cartoon didn't exist and the movie was the original idea do you think people would like it more or less?

It's a pretty good adaptation for what it is. I'd imagine making an hour+ long movie out of a short children's book and a 30 minute animated adaptation wasn't easy to begin with.
It's funny. I know it's not necessarily a GOOD movie, but it makes me laugh. I feel like Jim Carrey makes it work. If it wasn't for him, there'd be no reason to watch.>TFW no Who GF
>>78136807
Makes you realize how much hotter women would be with muzzles...
>>78136807
It's amazing, I don't know why people hate it.
And now the studio behind The Lorax and Horton Hears A Who want to do a remake, fuck that.
>>78140689
I can't believe they snuck a swingers' party into it.
>>78136837
This.
The tone, the color scheme, the way it's shot; everything is just so unpleasant.
Makeup is fantastic and Jim Carrey is GOAT in it though, despite it looking like the entire thing was shot through a wide-angle lens smothered in vaseline.
>>78140116
If it was an original idea? I'd probably like it a lot more as a simple guilty pleasure movie that offered some interesting concepts, but the character designs for the Who's would've been a much bigger issue.
>>78136807
Jim Carrey was pretty great in it
>>78140972
I love the color scheme.
>>78140980
What's wrong with the design of the Who's?
>>78141221
>What's wrong with the design of the Who's?
They'd just look extremely uncanny, if you weren't already aware of Dr. Seuss's art style beforehand. If The Grinch wasn't an adaptation, their ugliness factor would've been completely pointless and totally irrelevant to the plot.
>>78139758
>the only decent adaptation
>Has never seen the animated one with Boris Karloff and Thurl Ravenscroft
>>78136807
I was watching this the other day and kind of wondered if you could do a cut/edit of the entire film down to match the original 30 min cartoon. It wouldn't be exact of course, but after a few searches I couldn't find anyone that had done the idea. Oh well.
>>78141712
do it yourself retard
>>78141221
>I love the color scheme.
Really?
I mean specifically for the architecture, everything looks so washed-out and dreary.
Like, I guess maybe that was the point? Like, Whoville is this holly-covered consumerist wasteland that's totally devoid of any substance?
The cave set was cool, but everything in Whoville looked really bad in an unpleasant kinda way.
>>78141731
Well that's not very Christmas of you.

This movie is an under-appreciated masterpiece.

The very last thing Jim Carrey was decent in
I don't know if anyone cares, but it should noted this film is by a Oscar-winning director.
>>78141988
>he didn't like eternal sunshine
explain yourself
>>78141763
Something about the washed out camera filter screams "Christmas" to me, I don't know, it's almost dream-like and just fits the movie perfectly.
I really can't understand the bad reviews, I think it would've fared better had it been released today.
>>78136807Does the girl's singing in this movie annoy anyone else
>>78141785
If you went through and made a good edit, /co/'s heart might grow three sizes that day
>>78140378
Okay, the table part cracked me.
I enjoy it a lot. It's absolutely a guilty pleasure but I still watch it every year. The echo joke gets me every singke time, it's brilliant.
ABC family (CHANGING ITS NAME TO #FREEFORM) plays it just about every single day. Their Christmas lineup has gotten so bad and repetetive, unless my memory is shit they used to have so much more variety in Christmas movies, now they only play the same ~5 movies + same ~8 specials endlessly.
>>78142631
I hate the fact they don't play Santa Clause is Coming To Town and the special with the mouse family more often.
And why the fuck do they only play A Charlie Brown Christmas once? This year they played a DAY BEFORE DECEMBER. WHY WOULD YOU PLAY IT THAT EARLY IN THE YEAR.

That's incredible.
It's my favorite christmas movie
It is one of my family's major source of inside jokes. We quote it all year round.

>>78142631

Me too. I always giggle when he calls the cop flatfoot
>>78136807
the only good scene was the Grinch going over his schedule.
the animated one is 1000 times better
Won't let you go till you buy a chapeau!
>>78136807
Of all the Seuss movies they've come out with in the past two decades, this is the one I hate the least. It does nothing to capture the spirit of the original, but fucking hell Jim Carrey is funny as the Grinch.
>>78139785
This is the only good part of The Cat in the Hat.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Pvi1XVm_s
>>78136837
This. Always change the channel when it comes on.
It's alright
>>78139401
It was a book, not a comic or a cartoon. There WAS a cartoon but that's a stretch to say because there was a cartoon, we can talk about a live action movie based on a book. By that logic, the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are /co/ related because there was an animated movie of Lord of the Rings.
Not /co/ related.
>>78146551
I laughed way harder than I should've.
>>78146738
The live action film is clearly based on the cartoon, though. The green skin? Exclusive to the cartoon. The main song, and other musical elements? Exclusive to the cartoon. Yes, it was originally a book--but the live action is not some distinct, separate adaptation of the book, it's very clearly adapted from the cartoon.
It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.
The PS1 game confused the fuck out of me as a kid.
I had a friend who would watch this just occasionally, even outside Christmas
>>78137227
It was Validated when the fucking Cat in the Hat adaptation came out.
What absolute Garbage
>>78136807
I watch every year on christmas because I like it.
>>78136807
I really enjoy it every time I watch it but I don't watch it that often. I generally try to save christmas movies for christmas so I don't get tired of em.
>>78146738
You fucking autist. If you can look at the illustrations in the original book, which are LITERALLY ON EVERY PAGE, and not come to the conclusion that it's as much of a comic as anything, you're not really a cartoon fan and should kill yourself.
>>78142631
yeah the echo joke is amazing, the movie itself is probably a 7/10 at best but I think it's pretty fun, and that a lot of effort was clearly put into making it, I think overall Seuss would have appreciated that if he had been alive to see it(and if I recall properly his wife was fine with the final product, it was Cat In The Hat that she hated)
>>78137227
overall the only good thing about The Lorax was the music made for it, and they didn't even include the best song in the final film;

people actually watched this?
>>78140972
>The tone, the color scheme, the way it's shot; everything is just so unpleasant
That was the entire point. Everything is being shown through the Grinch's point of view, which is exactly what you described. Notice how once he actually learns the true meaning of Christmas, everything becomes much more bright, lighthearted, and generally nicer from there on.
>>78150038
Hard not to when ABC plays it nonstop and they're the only decent Christmas channel.
>>78150707
You could do something other than watch tv maybe?
>>78136837
It's not a good adaptation or even a good movie but I thoroughly enjoy it nonetheless.
>>78136807
It was good enough. Plenty of jokes for both the kids and the grown ups. Although it didn't feel faithful to the Dr. Suess books/cartoon, it was still enjoyable.
>>78136807
It's an odd thing that's for sure.
When I was a dumb kid I enjoyed it, then I stopped liking it, but now I've warmed up to it again. In a way, it reminds of Garfield minus Garfield.
For those who don't know what that is, basically some guy went through a bunch of Garfield comics and removed Garfield and everything he says/thinks. The result is just a bunch of comics of Jon talking to himself, and for some reason, it makes the entire comic really...bleak. Jon seems a lot more depressed, and it's more apparent when Garfield isn't there lightening the mood.
The Grinch is in a similar vein. I find it funnier to imagine the Grinch as a stereotypical 4chan neet. There's a lot of self loathing going on underneath that "Fuck off" exterior. The fact he's green also helps the imagination process.
>>78136807
True story
I watched this movie for the first time with my elementary school classmates and I had this massive crush on a girl in my class. In the end i told her how i felt and she expressed that she dosent even wants to know I exist. So i hate this fucking movie. God i wish i never seen this movie or ever meet my former classmates.

It's so very appropriate.
If not at the level of the animated version, it's still pretty entertaining. And Jim Carrey was awesome as the Grinch.

10/10 scene
>>78136807
thought it could have been shorter but still enjoyed it. jim carrey and his costume makeup instantly brought the movie out of terrible territory.
the only thing i didn't like was them giving him the hottest busty chick in whoville as a love interest.
I'm always surprised when I'm reminded how much some people hate the live action adaptation. It came out when I was like 5 or 6, so I grew up with the book, cartoon, and movie. I'm 21 now and it's still one of my favorite christmas movies. Granted the whole thing is really carried by Jim Carrey's dedication to the role.
>>78141807

It doesn't supplant the cartoon, and basically everyone older than you saw the cartoon or read the book first.
It's very watchable, but this was before all the bad Seuss adaptions broke everyone's expectations for GOAT shit. People were hoping it would be amazing, not just decent with some moments of inspiration.
>>78139899
He was kind of a shit before that
I like it. Carrey is hilarious and it's a fun watch. It's become a tradition in my house and we quote it often.
Plus it's a freakin' masterpiece compared to the fucking Cat in the Hat. I fucking hate that movie.

personally I loved that, especially since it's obvious that she's thirsted for him since she was a kid, feel there's some good fanart possibilities with that
>>78141988
Nah man, much like with The Grinch, Jim Carrey is great in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and is basically the reason to watch that movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Eh-xpcJsY
>>78164804
yeah, carrey really did make that movie.
HEAVEN OR HELL
>>78167010
I thought that movie had some neat sets and props in it.
Kind of sad they didn't go through all of the books, because there's a ton of shit that's just never explained.
Would you who it?
>>78169844
yes
>>78166285
There was one really disturbing fan-fic as I recall. I actually only came into this thread to see if it was posted.
>>78170551
which kind of disturbing, just the fact that it's Grinch smut, or is it some sort of "Dipper Goes To Taco Bell" or"Cupcakes"grade stuff?
>>78170729
>Cupcakes
>Disturbing
That wasn't disturbing, just tryhard.
Now what's truly disturbing is that Tails baby diaper comic.
>>78170899
>Tails baby diaper comic
oh god I thought I had repressed those memories
>>78170729
What about Agony in Pink?
>>78171155
I was going to mention that, but I couldn't remember the name
>>78152674
Jim as the Grinch makes me think of another actor entirely. I can't put my finger on it though. I just don't see Jim. Which is good I think.
I like the Cat in the Hat movie because the boy in it was named Conrad and my name is Conrad and before I saw that movie, I had never seen anyone else in a movie with that name. It made me feel special.
>>78136807

Makes me think of how much of a trainwreck that little girl who became.
Jim Carey also is pretty good in it.
I always thought the film kind of wanders in search for its message. Also, i never liked how it rewrote the Whos ultimately not caring about the material things and loving Christmas, itself. That was the whole point.
>>78173485
>train wreck
Her band is pretty successful dude
>>78136807
Carey poured his soul into a pretty sweet performance that ultimately is badly served by the rest of the movie which is an overwritten overproduced mess that tried too hard to be "with it". It also kind of altered the point of the original tale.
