Anyone remember Crazy Wheels? They were bicycle tires that came in red, blue, yellow, orange, and green (Makin' the scene!).

I was actually just thinking of this. But like, there are some down scale or medium scale clothing stores that don't advertise. I've never seen H&M advertise, though on occasion I've seen the Gap advertise on TV. I think. Old Navy--all the time. Express, never. Forever 21--never, and it's the most downscale of the chain clothing stores.

I hold this movie to the same degree of historical accuracy I hold Shakespeare In Love to. That is, none at all. Go with the story and don't try to nit-pick. For me, it's the David Bowie that makes the movie.

I wanted to be Evel Knievel , the height of cool in the 1970s. And say what you will about him, he never jumped the shark. Evel Knievel toys (and their knockoffs) were all the rage at my school.

Quote: That's the old Disney version, of which I have fond memories. However, there's another one coming out just now (in 3-D) that has Jim Carrey in it. Ah, OK, I was thinking they were just 3D-ifying the Mickey version. Which, come to think of it, might be tricky with cell animation. And for the record, the best version is clearly the one put on by the Whitney Young Junior High School drama club in fall of 1989. Although I might...

The Alastair Sim version (the best ever) shows Scrooge and Marley buying up bankrupt companies at a fraction of their value. Presumably, the sold off the assets. There was also moneylending and trading commodities.
