  • Not sure if it counts as a movie, but I’ve loved Rich Little’s Christmas Carol for decades. Rich Little was/is a master impersonator and he plays all the major roles in A Christmas Carol with characters that would have been well known back in the 1970s. W. C. Fields as Scrooge. Richard Nixon as Marley. Johnny Carson as Freddie. You get the idea. It was my favorite version of that story until The Muppets, and still ranks as my second favorite.

    Edit: you can find it on YouTube








  • Headline writers sure do know how to target an audience, don’t they? Here’s the real summary: “A new study from The University of Manchester has found that a well-known mental health intervention for children may be no more effective than the usual social and emotional learning (SEL) programmes already being taught in primary schools.”

    So, the real headline should be: A study has determined that a particular, new program is no more effective than the existing programs.
