I can agree with most people that the live-action Grinch is far from a great movie, but this scene always kills me.
FUNNY BIT OF TRIVIA ABOUT THIS SCENE.
When the Grinch yanks the tablecloth away, everything on the table was supposed to fall. But Jim Carrey did it so expertly, all of the objects stayed right where they were! So the Grinch running back and messing everything up was improvised by Jim =)
THAT’S AWESOME
Also I love the push of the table it’s so extra it’s great
2018 Grinch has no edge. He’s got no bite. He’s not even that much of an asshole. He’s just a sassy gay furry with unusually nice teeth despite his famous theme song declaring otherwise.
1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.
Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.
You can round the edges off a character to make them more “relatable” or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.
2018 Grinch is a reflection of modern society’s rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being “unproblematic” and in this essay i will
The best thing about the book version of the grinch is that he’s just some green fuck that the who’s know nothing about. He has absolutely no backstory he’s just up there being an asshole

The backstory is his heart was too small

YOU SAW HIS HEART GROW THREE SIZES THIS IS AN OBSERVED FACT
Everything said about the Grinch is hearsay. The story of the Grinh, perhaps, did not happen the way it’s told in the story. I am going to kick your fucking ass. Below is a real excerpt from the book:
The Grinch hated Christmas — the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
IT COULD BE. I THINK. There is no solid proof that this is why the Grinch is the way he is. It’s A RUMOR. I am going to kick your fucking ass.
