Famed “Home Alone” actor Macaulay Culkin is backing calls on social media to have Donald Trump's cameo in the 1992 film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” edited out after the president was impeached for a second time by the House.
Culkin on Wednesday signaled support for the move on Twitter in response to a viral tweet a fan made days before calling for a “petition to digitally replace” Trump’s cameo in the 1992 film “with 40-year-old Macaulay Culkin.”
“Sold,” Culkin, who starred as Kevin McCallister in the popular film, wrote in response.
Moments later on Twitter, Culkin also applauded another user who posted a video of Trump cameo's edited out of the film.
“Due to popular request I have removed trump from home alone,” the user tweeted along with the clip.
“Bravo,” Culkin responded in a tweet.

First post!
I bought tickets to see Home Alone in a theater with a Live orchestra. Has anybody here gone to this before? Was it a good experience?

Haven't done Home Alone but the wife and I have seen Jurassic Park w/the Dallas Symphony playing live. It was a pretty cool way to see the movie and I'm sure Home Alone will translate just as well.

Cool i didn’t know they did other movies. I don’t see how it could be a bad experience.

I’ve only done it one time with Princess Mononoke, and that was absolutely incredible. Jealous you’re doing this with Home Alone.

- How did no one wake up before 8am
- in the first scene there are 10 pizzas for 15 people - 11 being children. Let’s do the math on the price and portions:
122.50 * 1.1162 (inflation) = 259.23 modern dollars
100 pieces = 6.7 slices a person
- the dad has no way home because the mom traded his first class ticket to the old couple (kids rode coach)
- the tickets she gave them couldn’t be used anyway as their names wouldn’t match
- According to the mom, She was awake for almost 60 hours - Paris to Dallas to Scranton - could have just rented a car in Dallas to drive to Chicago in 5 hours and gotten there the morning the Bandits realized Kevin was Home Alone
- at the grocery store, Kevin bought a carton of orange juice, a carton of milk, loaf of bread, TV dinner, army men, big pack of toilet paper, large container of tide, snuggies drier sheets, mac & cheese, Reynolds wrap - all for 19.83
Modern prices
Milk - 4.00
OJ - 4.00
Wrap - 4.00
Tide - 12.00
Army men - 4.00
TV Dinner - 3.00
TP - 3.00
Mac and cheese - 3.00
Drier sheets - 4.00
41 dollars total - almost right at inflation, so…that’s accurate

I'm sitting here watching it with my kid and this red head kid is bitching about not helping Kevin pack and calling him an idiot for not knowing how to pack.
He then proceeds to stick his toothbrush in his pocket while carrying his bag. Then throws his bag down the stairs.
So this assclown gives Kevin shite about packing and is now going to fly 7 hours with a toothbrush in his pocket.

Y'all don't understand how expensive Pizza used to be back in the 80s and 90s.
Even places like Pizza Hut used to charge about $8-$10 for a pie 25+ yrs ago.
Only around the mid-00s and especially the 08 recession did chains start selling cheap pizza. There also weren't places like Little Ceasars and Domino's attacking the college/lower income markets like they do today.
They may have overpriced the pizza slightly in Home Alone, but in a major, rich Chicago area suburb like that, not really. It also was probably just another factor to show how well off the McAlister family was.
Lots of things used to cost way more back in the day and they were a privelage to have. Store bought VHS tapes were like $30 in the early 90s. That's equivalent to about $50 now.
Vidoe games also used to be $60-$80. Electronics were also astronomical by today's standards.
That was before the market was flooded with bad NAFTA deals and China was let into the WTO and undercut everyone else's manufacturing costs.
