[up]...The only thing I can think of is that a college professor was struggling to think of a homework assignment for his History class and had them do something on Luck of the Irish after watching it at random during a drunken bender. Because nothing else makes sense.tongue

All the sponsor plugs are starting to get a bit tedious.

Is it me or have they been losing more money to the extent that they're getting sponsors now? This week we have TWO sponsors that need to be plugged 3 times each in this week's review! I kinda went online to NOT watch too many ads.

They also uploaded a Save Net Neutrality video today. They intentionally held off on it, waiting for the right moment to get the strongest amount of impact the video could make! But because that is higher priority, they seemed to be plugging it more than this week's review instead.

....... I did NOT know ANYTHING about that Michael Caine recording. It's weird seeing him like that.

[up]Please please please let him not dwell on that cameo to the extent that it takes up half the episode for an unfunny running joke.

[up]the cameo being brought up is an inevitability. That, Tim Curry and Kevin hitting Marv with a brick are the most remembered parts of the movie

On a side note has anyone else been getting these weird ads on You Tube by Raising Kane's that treat Home Alone 2 as if it was a movie that came out this year?

Oddly, people keep touting Home Alone as a great kids movie, but have you ever sat a few young kids in front of it? They'll be bored out of their minds by the time the slapstick starts. The movie really takes its time to get there.

[up]That’s because you could get away with a slower pace back then.

[up]the slower pace is kind of refreshing to be honest.

Yes, but the other thing is, people tend to forget that slow, long lead-up. So they put on that movie saying it will be super fun, and then its a lot of talking and walking around and things young children don't quite get.

I was 7 when I saw it. I don't remember the build up being an issue. sure, the third act is the most memorable, I remember having a blast with Kevin living at home alone and doing his stuff. Heck, it resonated with me since ya know, being able to stay home alone and indulge the way Kevin does sort of is the dream at that age.

Plus, if you were ever brought to big family gatherings when you were Kevin's age, there's probably a lot in that first act you can relate to.

I loved the movie and I still do. It's well-directed and produced, and the choir song played near the end when Kevin visits a church is still one of the best OST tracks I ever heard.

[up] Oh, and next week: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (I'm not putting it in the spoiler tag since it was obvious they were going to do this), most likely with Brad Jones and Chris Stuckmann.

[up] I haven't watched the entire Sibling Rivalry on that movie, but they really liked it. Here's Rob's opinion.
