A Christmas Carol on FX

Anyone see the new FX version last night starring Guy Pearce? Here's the Trailer.
I thought it was great. REALLY dark. Instead of following the source material so closely as pretty much all of the previous films they weave all kinds of dirty stories in. We get to see some background on Jacob Marley, there's a bunch of sexual abuse/harrassment thrown in, and of course great modern CGI effects. The acting is top notch.
It is really long (over 3 hours with commercials) but worth it IMO.

I loved it. They really made Scrooge a miserable old monster without emotion. The scene when his father visited him was great.

So basically they stuck in some SJW shite that's not even remotely hinted at in the novel.

Overall, I liked it.
It strays from the book a lot, but I liked the additional Marley scenes. Scrooge is a good bit younger than he is normally portrayed, but I thought the actor did a good job.

A Christmas Carol is a wonderful, life-affirming and aspirational story of redemption.
I wish these demented moderns would come up with their own stories instead of doing their worst to dirty up beloved old stories, but I assume they derive satisfaction from this.
