crumbs 14,306 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 This franchise is long overdue for a 'dark and gritty' reimagining for our modern sensibilities. The two robbers should be undercover ISIL terrorists, Kevin's parents divorced and living in squalor, his brothers alcoholics, his sister resorting to night shifts at the local brothel, the church carollers a syndicate of convicted paedophiles. The thrilling climax involves Kevin waterboarding the two terrorists while hooked up to a car battery. Director: Lars von Trier Composer: Elliot Goldenthal (adapting a temp track comprised entirely of Alien 3 music) Rated NC-17.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So how are they going to justify mum being scared as hell now that Kevin can easily e-mail, WhatsApp, Facebook Message or Skype her about what he's doing in the house? crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Disney - where fresh ideas are suffocated by the creative committee. A remake of "Night at the Museum" and "Home Alone" is not as bad as a remake of "Ben Hur" and "Papillon", but as pointless. Trust me, nothing of worth will be added, the only possible new thing will be a lack of charm and good music. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Kevin is left 'home alone'. The burglars utterly fail to break in, thanks to the sophistication of today's home security systems. They give up less than halfway through the film, and for the rest of it we watch a completely untroubled Kevin amuse himself with the endless modern-day entertainment options available. The family return, all *OMG WE CAN'T BELIEVE WE FORGOT YOU!* ... Kevin shrugs and says 'It was fine, really'. The End. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The first second Planet of the Apes reboot was fun and got me excited for the series again, but then the second one _totally_ screwed over the series! It was _not_ an Apes movie! Even if he _was_ digitally modelled, Charlton Heston's Taylor would _not_ accept and try to adapt to living in the Apes' society! They fucked with one of cinema's greatest and most iconic characters!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I thought the third movie of the Ape reboot was clearly the weakest of the bunch. I guess most people love the second one the best (declaring it sorta like the TESB of Ape movies: more complex, more this, more that). Of course, my favorite is the first one because it's the most intimate of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,278 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I still think of ScarJo as the sister from Home Alone 3. I imagine it’d still be vaguely watchable, it is John Hughes, I remember some one-liners. My main memories of it are the parrot and that bitchin remote control car which was basically that movie’s version of the Talkboy, in that it doubles as a toy commercial. Never got that particular one but did go through a minor phase destroying RC cars after that movie so I guess mission accomplished. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
