There are FOUR more? I never even watched #3... Without Macaulay what's the point.

Home Alone 2 is worth it for Tim Curry's other iconic scene (the one aside from "SPACE!") when he twigs to who "Mr. McCallister" actually is and the light bulb literally goes on above his head.

[–] Blahaj_Blast@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 11 months ago

He nails that exaggerated Grinchy smile too

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well now I gotta watch it (again)

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

What about "Have a nice day". Or the way he say "Pizza".

the other two have their merits even if they completely lack the magic of the first

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

I watch the first one, then I watch the action scenes from the sequels on YouTube

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 29 points 11 months ago (6 children)

Detrumped Home Alone 2. His bit in it is entirely pointless.

You messed up the formatting there, you put the URL where the visible text should go and the text where the URL was supposed to be.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

To avoid this in the future, just put the url in both places. That way you can't mess it up

I always actually liked the second one better.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So do I. It ramped up the slapstick humor, which is the main reason most people watch the movies to begin with.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

And they representation of florida is 100% accurate

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Same! It captures the Christmas season really beautifully.

3 isn't so bad when you compare it to everything after it. The way Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd is great when compared to Dumb and Dumber 2, but not with Dumb and Dumber.

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I always liked 3, I enjoyed the gags in it just as much as the other films.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

its got Scarlet Johannsen in it as a early teenager sister.

[–] amio@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

Haven't watched any of them in a minute, but all I remember from the third and/or fourth was a kid with an RC car, and how it all seemed more like a bootleg version than a sequel.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 7 points 11 months ago

The only thing canon about any of the other 4 sequels is that Buzz grows up to become a cop. He would.

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Just like with the Matrix there is only 1 movie. The rest are fever dreams for money.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have to be honest, I saw it for the first time this year and really don't get the appeal.

It's kinda boring.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 28 points 11 months ago

Have you tried watching it as a child?

[–] acutfjg@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

What didn't appeal to you?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

Sam Ramey's Spiderman 1 (Green Goblin), Spiderman 2 (Doc Oc.), Spiderman 3 (Venom)

Alex D. Linz did a pretty good job, I thought.
