Without it you just sound like you're repeating barroom and barbershop gossip. You know....

Sorry kid. Nip's so immersed in "Judeo-Christian" moral righteousness to ever concede the existence of any length of evolution. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 After a quick search I found several places carrying this story.. And you know, Trump has such a brief scene in the movie, that it's inconsequential that he's even in it. Much as I don't care (and never did) for "The Donald", I say leave it be. It's just like my wife told my daughter once..... While looking over some old photos with her, there were several where my wife was shown sitting with or standing next to her first husband, whom she really grew to hate and divorced him because he was a physical and verbally abusive a-hole who molested a nine year old cousin of hers. My daughter asked why she didn't throw away, destroy or cut his image out of the pictures, and my wife told her.... "It's part of my history and of who I was and still am. To do that would be like ignoring the past, and you know what's said about doing that." Sepiatone 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, who watches Home Alone 3, then? 😄 And FTR, Trump could also be cut out of the 1994 Little Rascals movie with no loss except a cheap early-90's "Rich guy" joke that was basically all we knew about Trump back when he was still an obnoxious slob but relatively sane. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen Home Alone 3, is trump in that too? I wasn't commenting on trump, just Home Alone 2. Trump owned The Plaza when Home Alone 2 was filmed, that was the joke when Kevin speaks to him.

I can't ever recall a time when that was possible or so. But here's an interesting thing about that scene from WIKI---- Donald Trump, the owner of the Plaza Hotel at the time, allowed the crew to shoot scenes in the hotel lobby in exchange for a cameo in the film, in addition to the standard fee for film productions. Columbus said that Trump had "bullied" his way into the film. Columbus planned to leave his scene out, but kept it as test audiences cheered when Trump appeared.

"As President Donald Trump prepares to make his exit from the White House, fans of "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" want him to make a permanent, on-screen exit from the movie -- and its star Macaulay Culkin seems to be on board with the idea. Culkin played Kevin McAllister, who gets separated from his family and ends up in New York. At one point, Kevin crosses paths with Trump at the Plaza Hotel. He asks Trump for directions to the hotel's lobby and Trump responds by casually pointing him in the right direction. Some fans of the movie want to remove Trump from that scene -- and one Twitter user did just that. The user posted his version the scene at the Plaza Hotel and this time Kevin is seen talking to a mute, invisible figure instead of Trump. The actor responded with a single word to the edited video: "Bravo." Another Twitter user proposed creating a "petition to digitally replace trump in 'home alone 2' with 40-year-old macaulay culkin." "Sold." Culkin wrote in response. - CNN Entertainment I didn't vote for Trump either time, but this is just sad. Erasing people from history is sad. Former child stars who ceased to have relevance in 1994 and are trying to get at least part of the spotlight back are sad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Social media notwithstanding for me and purely from the standpoint of being an observer, this has been an interesting journey. I am vindicated as I saw the potential for all of this to happen with social media back in 2008/2009 around when it started to take off. I thought MySpace was a stupid idea at the time, and thought the subsequent "big social media" services to come were stupid ideas too. I recommended to everyone I knew that they not store anything personal there, or better yet just don't do it - you don't know the motives of those who operate it. At the very least they were massive data harvesting operations and these days they "unperson" people and block access to their data. It does more harm than good anymore and just needs to go away. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Well, you wouldn't believe( or maybe you would) the trouble FaceBook postings have caused on my wife's side of the family. A people once so close water couldn't seep through them are now mostly connected jowl to throat. And mostly because( and as is typical with FB and other "social media") some postings were taken way out of context. The frustrating puzzle of it all is that none of them ever consider to stop wasting their time and just get OFF those damned sites. Sepiatone 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NipkowDisc Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 should The Towering Inferno be severely re-edited to remove all scenes of OJ Simpson? I'd be against it as he was imo a fair actor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 After I became aware of the unsavory and downright offensive comments that Tor Johnson once made about Encino California, I tweeted that I wanted ALL traces of the man cut from Plan 9 From Outer Space. (...however, this in turn caused a grassroots counter-movement to commence which I understand was spearheaded by some retired math teacher from back east, and so my efforts went nowhere) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Another consideration..... I had seen the movie when it came out, as I liked the first one, but really? Until Nip posted this thread I forgot all about Trump's scant appearance in the flick. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites

David Guercio Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What do you mean who watches Home Alone 2 and Home Alone 3? We all do. It’s one of my very favorite franchises. I love it. I’ve seen them all. Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I've only ever watched the first one and that was years ago. Thought it was an okay little comedy, but definitely geared to people of more tender years. (...and due to all the characters in it, and especially the two inept would-be burglars, being so outrageously over-the-top) Link to post Share on other sites

I like both of those silly movies. Trump bullied the producers when they wanted to shoot that scene in the hotel I guess he owned at the time. The banks (70 of them, led by Citibank) owned it, as he borrowed money to buy it in 1988. Purchase price was around $400M. Due to extensive, tacky remodeling, another $200M was added to the note, for a total of $600M. They were going to try to do a condo conversion, to raise $750M and retire the debt, but that failed. He finagled his way for the banks to forgive $250M of the debt by relinquishing 49% of the ownership to Citibank in a bankruptcy case in 1992. In 1995, Trump sold the hotel for $325M, with all of that going to the banks. Trump still had a small hand in the hotel, but only if the penthouse condos were ever developed. Art of the Deal, indeed. He's all smoke and mirrors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
