The saying “They can’t all be winners” goes for movies too. During a recent interview, actor Tom Holland called some of his past films “shit.” Continuing his long tradition of saying the quiet part out loud.  “When you’re doing press for movies you’re really proud of, it’s really easy,” he told the Dish Podcast about his current role in The Odyssey, and the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. “Because when they ask you questions about why should people go and watch this movie, you’re not lying to anyone. You really feel like people should go see it.” “I’ve had experiences…

Charles Dickens’ 1843 A Christmas Carol novella is a well-worn and heavily adapted tale about miser Ebenezer Scrooge.
