The Muppet Christmas Carol is the best film version of A Christmas Carol. I will gladly die on this hill.

The only way you die on that hill is from crushing as we are all crowded on there with you.

Hell, I picked up the book last year and had forgotten that Marley was a single (former) partner, not two brothers.

Must have been a typo in the book.

I work in a hospital and sometimes people have these air pumps on their legs that prevent blood clots. I often joke when disconnecting them, "We have to take those off so you aren't dragging it behind you like Marley and Marley."

Then i remember that's not the original version.

I know people who worked on it.

I have a decade of experience in film and have worked on some cool shit and I logically know that just like what I have done at the end of the day it's basically a job like the one that I am doing... But I envy them that one credit so fucking hard and will beg them for stories of what it was like as though I am a starry eyed child who wants to be them when I grow up.
