[supernova]

Weee!

[mitchum]

1. Did you know that Karloff was Frank Sinatra's private acting teacher for years?

I love me some Boris

[supernova]

2. I did not know that!

:D

No wonder Frank had some acting chops. ;-)

[Captain Hilts]

10. Really?!!

3. You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.


You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.


I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.


You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.


Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.


You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.


The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."


You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.


Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.


You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

4. Dr. Seuss meets Chuck Jones meets Boris Karloff

Animation trifecta.

[Blue_Tires]

11. the musical composer was excellent, too...

[Orrex]

5. There is no "original" Grinch. There is only the Grinch.

That monstrosity perpetrated by Jim Carrey has no right to use the name.

Blasphemy!

[AllenVanAllen]

7. Not quite

Original Grinch





Chuck Jones TV special Grinch






WTF?

[Orrex]

8. I call that a technicality

The Seuss Grinch and the Jones Grinch were both produced during Seuss' lifetime and with his blessing and direct involvement; the Carrey abomination was a cheap effort to cash in on the beloved tale's decades of popularity.

[Giant Robot]

9. I'm sorry what is that third pic supposed to be?

I know the first time are obviously of the Grinch but don't recognize that third one.

If you say that's a Grinch live action movie, well my friend, I know you are fooling me. Next you will tell me there was a Godfather 3. Or any movies past the original Highlander.

[Ikonoklast]

6. And Thurl Ravenscroft, too!

The voice of Tony The Tiger, to you tyros.
