Yep, I like the Grinch too...although we were watching the one with that doofy fellow from Pet Detective...Jim Carrey...and when dove head-first into some woman's boobs we had to change the channel.
I know I'm probably terribly backward, but I don't want my kids seeing crap like that.
Hmmm... is this on DVD yet? hehehe...
I wasn't offended by the movie, but it was really dumb. Jim Carrey I liked in "Truman Show" but otherwise... well... I'm hoping he doesn't ruin "A Series of Unfortunate Events".
I was at a sort of party thing where they were showing that movie to a bunch of kids (not mine, so I had no say...). The kids didn't seem bothered...but I walked out!
Of course, I find Jim Carrey annoying beyond words, so I dunno if it was something offensive like your example that made me leave. I just remember thinking "Enough!"
You're not backward at all. That crap is totally unnecessary in a kid's show, and Hollywood knows it!
I like the original with Boris Karloff's voice and Little Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two. My niece-in-law always said that Clare (when she was little) reminded her of Cindy Lou.
