Fat Spanish Waiter Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah like the sentient defender of earth from large moths and crabs stuff. From the Japanese movies. Not the "Japanese stuff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Weren't they broken up in two different vans on their way to the airport? The people in one van could've thought he was in the other van, and when they got to the airport they were in such a rush running through that nobody even thought to look for a missing person.

CSC Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I watched RV last night and, while I already love this movie way too much, the father/son talk between Robin Williams & Josh Hutcherson about some day having a growth spurt and not to worry is made a billion times more hilarious because of this... http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/how-short-is-josh-hutcherson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 In 2013, Home Alone would probably now be called Amber Alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb82 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yes, they were in two vans, but at least one of the kids would have went to give Kevin shit for what happened the night before (likely Buzz) and went "uhhhh...where's Kevin?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Cell phones would pretty much kill the plot dead. Is there any reason given for why the Mcallister's didn't completely blow up the house phone until Kevin was pretty much forced to answer it?

Control Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah, I'm watching it right now. It's as plausible as most comedies get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I was literally just about to come here and start posting about Home Alone. It's on my yearly Christmas rotation. I had seriously never given the "ticket in the trash" a second thought. That blew my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Home Alone would have been better if it had went all out on the "Die Hard for Kids" idea. Harry: If you'd listened to me, he would be neutralised already. Marv: I don't want neutral. I want dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The first scene of Inglorious Basterds is probably the best single thing he's ever done, but I think the rest of the movie is "merely" good, and not great. The bar scene with Fassbender and the strudel scene are both incredibly awesome also. RE: Home Alone. I've had this discussion a couple times with people but the McAllisters are fucking filthy rich. Look at the house and his father paying for a vacation like that for 15-20 people... Kevin was a spoiled brat. For the longest time I thought the "Filthy Animal" film was a real movie.. I'd sad that it's not. Did we ever find out Mr McAllister's job? Considering his wealth and callous indifference to his son, as well as Kevin's (presumably inherited) violent tendencies, I'd go with international arms dealer.

RandomAct Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Can you imagine if Kevin actually made it to France? It would have been like a kid's version of Taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Truthfully, Macaulay Culkin's such a mess I'm wondering just how long it will be until we can no longer enjoy this film without the really sad "Oh, but he later died" context. Although I like to think he'll pull a Keith Richards and still be around at 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 1) I saw Anchorman 2 today. Quick review: THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME MOVIE AS THE FIRST ANCHORMAN. I love the first Anchorman. This was exactly the same. I don't think they shared any lines but I wouldn't be surprised.2) I watched some of Olympus Has Fallen last night. It is one of the dumbest movies of all-time. I got too tired to keep watching it but it was pretty enjoyably horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I saw the trailer for Olympus has Fallen and thought it look dumb. Then I saw the trailer for White House Down in which the president, played by Jamie Foxx, was trying to shoot a bunch of terrorists with a giant rocket launcher, and decided that movie took the biscuit for stupidity.

Death From Above Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I was utterly convinced they were two films made by the exact same production crew by the trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I've been trying to get Netflix to send me that blu-ray for months now. Every time I think I've got it, it seems to come up as "short wait" as soon as I send back my previous disc. Yes, I am one of the 5 people in America still paying for the disc service.

Brian Fowler Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I was looking very longingly at the collector's boxset of that at Barnes and Noble the other day, but a bit too pricey for my blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
