    The best movie idea I ever heard was grown up Kevin is a fuckup, down on his luck, gets in a desperate situation, decides to find Harry and Marv and reprise the Wet Bandits with them to rob some houses, and encounters a kid just like him, same gags except Kevin knows some of them are coming abd it turns into a battle of wits. Something like that.

        I was pirating a ton of movies and decided to see about home alone. I found a torrent that says home alone one through five and I said what the fuck. I think I only knew of two of them.

      What a half-assed, barely-a concept idea. It needs to be fleshed-out, if not complete rewritten. It’s also absolutely genius. Please, take my money!!!

        Maybe there’s another nastier crew crew that happens to be casing “the kids” house and the Wet Bandits decide to turn over a new leaf and help the kid defend the house and set the booby traps?

          The wet bandits break into a house and find a kid locked up in the basement. He’s about to warn them when the home owners show up: a bunch of incestuous hillbillies with chainsaws. The movie will be called “you shouldn’t watch this at home alone”.

          Way more folks of that era that are burnt out middle aged folks that don’t end up where they expected 40s are a huge transition time for lots of people… divorce, school debt, add the constant feelings of failure that life gives you in middle age,…

          Then some how setting that house of horrors loose on life, like like those silly burglars in the original.

    I cut that scene from my copy. It changed the story not at all, in fact it helped continuity.

      I think they cut the scene out anyway. Tgere was a bit of a uproar from some fascists because of it. The reason was simply that the scene wasn’t important at all, the only reason it was in was that the narcissist demanded to ve in the movie.

      Yeah the scene had to be added to get to use his hotel. It wasn’t an integral part of the story.

        Pffft, “his hotel” lol

        Motherfucker owned it from 1988 until he was forced to sell it off in 1995 because he ran it into the fucking ground just like every other one of his businesses.

        The Plaza, is one of the most luxurious and fabulous hotels in the world for a century, he managed to ruin it the second he touched it. And it still hasn’t recovered. Currently, it’s all condos.

          Sounds a lot like his presidency, tbh. Just replace The Plaza with the US.

        Didn’t they shoot way more footage with trump too (that they correctly left out) or am I thinking of a different movie with scenes filmed there.

    First Wil Wheaton and now Mcauley Kulkin? It’s good to see that some of the child actors I really didn’t like as a child, became well adjusted adults.

    I’ve tried, but it was tricky to change the rip off my blu-ray. I just wanted to cut him out of a wonderful movie.

    I just don’t like child rapists.

    Leave movies/literature alone. ET getting “adapted” and books being re-written is dystopian. It was a time and a place, leave it be.

        No there should never be an “exception”. Want to rewrite the Armenian genocide because the Turks have an issue? Lets take out N-word Tom from Huck Finn to not understand how people thought during Jim Crow just for your sensitive feels.

        People like you need to stay in your lane.

          You’re the type of creep to argue The Guy Game (2004) should be preserved in it’s entirety.

              Your claims are baseless and false. That’s like saying the only way to remember WW2 is by being a Nazi. Completely flawed line of reasoning.

              You on the other hand are still advocating for the preservation of CSAM, which is fucking disgusting.

              Destroy the work, wright the Wikipedia article on it, and that’s that. No need to preserve everything.

    His handle, username or whatever it’s called is great.
    Also, do yourself a favor and watch Nocturne that stars his brother, it’s very good (so far).
