I was not of a mind in 2000 to go see the Ron Howard-directed adaptation of Dr. Seuss's perennial holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. But I've mellowed, and in careful consultation with Jenifer, we've chosen this movie to extend the Holiday Watch Party festivities.
Jim Carrey is a fine actor, I find him very funny. I find this suit unnerving. What I've seen of Jeffrey Tambor in the movie also makes me want to burn Whoville with fire. I do not tolerate uncanny valley stuff in CGI very well. Do it in real life, and my blood runs cold with the Lovecraftian implications.
I don't know what else is in this 105 minute movie that wasn't covered in the children's book or 30 minute TV show, but it does seem the filmmakers were like "we should unnerve Ryan by putting the lovely Christine Baranski in this and make her a sexy Who. That should @#$% him up but good."
