I cannot stand the Grinch. I watched it as a kid and used to be neutral on it, just felt meh about it. But some of the most obnoxious, unlikable people I have ever met LOVE it, so now I dislike it by association with them.

I also despise the way that lately, it's gotten extra commercialized. I feel like over the past few years it has gotten more and more popular, and now you see all kinds of Grinch-themed crap, which is extra stupid when you consider the fact that the message of the fucking story is that happiness and joy shouldn't come from buying shit.

I'm mildly curious if what you watched as a kid was the cartoon or the live-action movie.

OP - it was the cartoon one! I liked it well enough as a kid, but I didn't have fond memories of it like I did with, say, Garfield Christmas or the animated Rudolph one. I don't think I ever saw the live action one, I think it came across as creepy and I never watched it.

Fair nuf. I like the old cartoon, but then I'm a big fan of Boris Karloff & Chuck Jones.

(As for the live-action film, I'm impressed by Rick Baker's ability to make humans look like Seuss critters/people, but I've never wanted to see it.)

I felt I was a little too old to watch the Jim Carrey one (I was an older teenager and kind of in my "NO FAMILY MOVIES EVER" phase), so I've never actually seen it, and I find that's the one that people go crazypants bananas over. I have seen the original cartoon a bunch and found it generally inoffensive.

It's kind of like it's Universal's answer to Nightmare Before Christmas, like they decided all the alt people who like Christmas (but Not Like That) are all Grinch and Nightmare Before Christmas people.

Re: NBC
It's actually a favorite film of mine, but there was a period I couldn't stand it because the merchandising was oversaturated. I no longer actively tell people that I like it lol I just watch the movie when I babysit my nephew because he likes it a lot too XD

It is definitely the commercialization of a subculture that has cheapened the appeal of NBC and goth/emo culture
