The Night the Reindeer Died Painting

Scrooge Promo Announcer: Seven o'clock. Psychos seize Santa's workshop and only Lee Majors can stop them. Frank Cross: I want to see her nipples. Censor Lady: But this is a CHRISTMAS show. Frank Cross: Well, I'm sure Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples. Carpenter: You can barely see them nipples. Frank Cross: See? And these guys are REALLY looking. Frank Cross: [looking around at dilapidated surroundings] Well, this is nice. Where are we, Trump Tower? Frank Cross: Same old Claire... still trying to save the world. Claire Phillips: You still trying to run it? Ghost of Christmas Past: It's a bone, you lucky dog! Frank Cross: I get it. You're taking me back in time to show me my mother and father, and I'm supposed to get all goosey and blubbery. Well, forget it, pal, you got the wrong guy! Ghost of Christmas Past: That's exactly what Attila the Hun said. But when he saw his mother... Niagara Falls! Frank Cross: Claire, the whole world. Whole world, Claire. Santa Claus : It's Lee Majors! The Six Million Dollar Man! Lee Majors : Santa, is there a back way outta this place? Santa Claus : Of course there is Lee, but this is one Santa who's going out the front door. Lee Majors : Look, it don't matter a hill of beans what happens to me but the world couldn't afford it if anything happened to you. Now stay put. Santa Claus : Oh that's very nice of you, Lee. And Lee... You've been a real good boy this year! Mrs. Claus : Yes you sure have! Frank Cross: It's Christmas Eve! It's... it's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we... we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be. It's a... miracle. It's really a sort of a miracle. Because it happens every Christmas Eve. And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it, I know what I am talking about. You have to do something. You have to take a chance. You do have to get involved. There are people that are having... having trouble making their miracle happen. There are people that don't have enough to eat, or people that are cold. You can go out and say hello to these people. You can take an old blanket out of the closet and say "Here!", you can make them a sandwich and say "Oh, by the way, here!" I... I get it now! And if you... if you give, then it can happen, then the miracle can happen to you! It's not just the poor and the hungry, it's everybody's who's gotta have this miracle! And it can happen tonight for all of you! If you believe in this spirit thing, the miracle will happen and then you'll want it to happen again tomorrow. You won't be one of these bastards who says "Christmas is once a year and it's a fraud", it's NOT! It can happen every day, you've just got to want that feeling. And if you like it and you want it, you'll get greedy for it! You'll want it every day of your life and it can happen to you! I believe in it now! I believe it's going to happen to me now! I'm ready for it! And it's great. It's a good feeling, it's really better than I've felt in a long time. I, I, I'm ready. Have a Merry Christmas, everybody. [Calvin steps forward] Frank Cross: Did I forget something, big man? Calvin Cooley: [nods, speaks his first words in five years] God bless us, everyone. from ‘Scrooged’ (1988) Starring Alfre Woodard ("Sounds Swedish."), Bobcat Goldthwait (One Crazy Summer), Carol Kane ("I'm not a witch, I'm your wife."), David Johansen (Tales from the Darkside: The Movie), John Glover (Batman & Robin), Robert Mitchum (Night of the Hunter), Michael J. Pollard (I Come in Peace… or Dark Angel? Huh?), Mabel King (Martin’s Jerk), Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H), John Forsythe (Charlie), Karen Allen (Bridge’s Starman), Maxie Dean (Beetlejuice), and Bill Murray ("Garfield, maybe."). Written by Mitch Glazer (The Recruit) and Michael O’Donoghue (SNL). Directed by Richard Donner (Bracco’s Radio Flyer). Based on the novella 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens (Oliver Twist) Scrooged is a 1988 American Christmas comedy film directed by Richard Donner and written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue. Based on the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooged is a modern retelling that follows Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical and selfish television executive, who is visited by a succession of ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him regain his Christmas spirit. The film also stars Karen Allen, John Forsythe, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard. Scrooged was filmed on a $32 million budget over three months in Hollywood. Murray returned to acting for the film after taking a four-year hiatus following the success of Ghostbusters, which he found overwhelming. Murray worked with Glazer and O'Donoghue on reworking the script before agreeing to join the project. The production was tumultuous, as Murray and Donner had different visions for the film. Murray described his time on the film as "misery", while Donner called Murray "superbly creative but occasionally difficult". Along with Murray's three brothers, Brian, John, and Joel, Scrooged features numerous celebrity cameos. The film's marketing capitalized on Murray's Ghostbusters role, referencing his encounters with ghosts in both films. Scrooged was released on November 23, 1988, and grossed over $100 million worldwide. The film received a positive response from test audiences, but was met with a mixed response upon its release from critics who found the film too mean spirited or too sentimental. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup, but lost to the fantasy-comedy film Beetlejuice. In the years since its release, Scrooged has become a regular television Christmastime feature, with some critics calling it an alternative to traditional Christmas films, and others arguing that Scrooged was ahead of its time, making it relevant in the modern day. It has appeared on various lists of the best Christmas films. Richard Donner (born Richard Donald Schwartzberg; April 24, 1930 – July 5, 2021) was an American filmmaker whose notable works included some of the most financially-successful films during the New Hollywood era. According to film historian Michael Barson, Donner was "one of Hollywood's most reliable makers of action blockbusters". His career spanned over 50 years, crossing multiple genres and filmmaking trends. Donner began his career in 1957 as a television director, helming episodes of series like The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Fugitive, and The Twilight Zone. He made his film debut with the low-budget aviation drama X-15 in 1961, but had his critical and commercial breakthrough with the horror film The Omen in 1976. He directed the landmark superhero film Superman in 1978, which provided an inspiration for the fantasy film genre to eventually gain artistic respectability and commercial dominance. Donner later went on to direct films in the 1980s such as The Goonies and Scrooged, while reinvigorating the buddy film genre with the Lethal Weapon series. Donner and his wife, Lauren, owned their production company The Donners' Company (formerly Donner/Shuler Donner Productions), best known for producing the Free Willy and X-Men franchises. Donner also produced the Tales from the Crypt television series, and co-wrote several comic books for Superman publisher DC Comics. In 2000, Donner received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. Source: Wikipedia
