  • The Ron Howard adaptation of Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas must do super well on cable TV every year because for some reason they added in a bunch of pointless scenes that aren't funny. Find out how unfunny they are and learn about the deleted scenes in this video!
    I don't know why anyone would want a 3 hour long extended cut but here is a petition for it

    The TV Cut videos are my favorite. It's so weird how many movies have TV cuts that are either take away, edit into a completely different and weird movie, or just flat out ADD stuff. Now I know why this movie has a 4 time slot on ABC Family
    EDIT: PLEASE do that weird ass alternate version of Night of the Living Dead with the real weird inserted scenes. I think you and the Movie Dumpster guys would have a good time with that

    So I love the theatrical version. I remember when it first was announced, out school went every single year on for like an annual holiday special thing and that's what made it magical to me honestly. But the TV version is a version I feel like I've seen before, with vague memories of only certain extended scenes. All I know is the theatrical cut is the best cut, has the best flow and while I agree it doesn't make sense for Cindyloo to know what he looks like, just to be fooled by a Santa outfit makes me mad, no version of the movie gives it justice to explain that she knew it was him but wanted him to come to terms with what he was doing was wrong, but that it's not about the materialistic nature of Christmas but coming together is what Christmas is about. My ears still cringe when she asks "Santa Grinch" what the meaning of Christmas is and he says presents, she just takes it at face value and goes back to bed. Well, until the plot hold of how the hell did she end up on top of his bag and why didn't she make herself as like his heart is growing big again. That I feel would have opened them both up to seeing anyone can change and be redeemable.

  • @ironwolf56
    @ironwolf56 Рік тому

    I wonder if the very last deleted scene was a sort of an easter egg about the other much lesser-known Grinch cartoon special "Halloween is Grinch Night." In that special there's a Whovian who is sort of the civil defense brigrade who has a very crazy looking periscope to keep watch on the Grinch's territory and warn Whoville residents. That special is supposed to be a prequel, so maybe this movie is trying to indicate the Grinch took that guy out and stole his periscope device to spy on Whoville like they spied on him?

    Here's a good idea for a future video:
    "S.O.S. TITANIC",
    a 1979 TV film about the Titanic disaster starring Ian Holm (ALIEN), James Jans-sen (INCHON!), Harry Andrews (Super-man '78), Helen Mirren (The New Twilight Zone), Cloris Leachman (The Iron Giant), and David Warner (A Christ-mas Carol '84). The new Kino Lorber DVD release featured an HD remaster of the longer '79 American TV Cut and the condensed '80 European Theatrical Cut.
    In my opinion, the American Cut of "S.O.S. TITANIC" is a better version of the film.

    I found the deleted scenes and add on seems that they’ve added to this movie surprisingly unnecessary, but also enjoyable, but it’s also a lot of them did pull from the narrative of the weird, modern retelling of the who’s liking the materialistic side despite the fact that in the book, they didn’t care about the materialistic part of Christmas is about that tradition. I don’t get why other Grinch agitations had a hard time when it came to the last few years.

    Many people have mixed feelings as you mentioned.. I personally enjoyed the theatrical version.
    Fun fact my favorite scene from this movie is when the Grinch says " I'm going to throw up and then I'm going to die! Mommy tell it to stop!"
    One fact about me is.. I tried to avoid watching movies that I know are going to be heavily changed for television. In general.. that's just kind of my rule. Especially if it's a movie I really enjoy. Maybe I'm weird.. but I'm okay with that!

    As someone who loves this movie, the tv cut is garbage. The movie doesn’t flow nearly as well, and the majority of the added scenes just aren’t funny, and don’t add any substance. I did actually feel like present pass it on was a little funny, since he steals the Mayor’s watch and tries to give that to Martha, and I like the lighting contest, but I don’t miss them when they’re not there either.
