Description

Ta-Da! The first picture of the "Behind the Seuss" series.:)

Here we have everyone's favorite green holiday-grump, the Grinch, being really pissed-off about the live-action movie about himself.
Don't take it too personally, but I myself didn't like the live-action Grinch movie either.
Mostly because of the bad jokes and acting; and like the Grinch said in this picture, it looks like it had bits and pieces that were stolen from "A Christmas Carol."
*Orphaned as a baby
*Had a love-interest at one point
*Had a bad childhood
But in the original story, the real reasons the Grinch didn't like Christmas because it's the same old traditions the Whos have every year, and all of noises of the toys and singing keep him awake for days.

And I really didn't like how the Whos were portrayed in the movie.
While the Whos in the original book and animated short, were real friendly folk that already know the true meaning of Christmas, and they actually accepted the Grinch for who/what he is.

The Whos in the movie, however, were portrayed as these racist (they picked on the Grinch just because he's green), competitive, close-minded, material-loving jerks that don't really about the real spirit of Christmas. They only want to see who has the better Christmas presents and decorations.

As for Jim Carry's acting in the film, as much as I like him, his role as the Grinch is my least favorite of his acting roles.
Because I thought he got too carried away with having fun with his costume, and decided to do some over-the-top acting on screen to make the Grinch look like some gross, mentally-insane wack-job.
Plus that's really disgusting how they show the Grinch eating a raw onion (and later rubs on his pits), and show a close-up of his teeth, revealing that he literally does have termites in his smile. :bleh:
Were they trying to make him rip-off Oscar the Grouch from "Sesame Street"?



And in case you are wondering what Grinch plans on doing the paper that involves Max in it, lets say afterwards, the Grinch is gonna send the critics a "wet" surprise.



Enjoy!
