anyway, right now on local tv, they're showing the home alone series
cause its holidays you know?
I'm now watching part 2 and .... man, I think they cut off the part. located at the very beginning of home alone 2, when the boy gets split from the parents, they're in florida, and he's in New York.

when we gets out of the airport, onto the taxi, and into the city, theres this scene where he looks at the twin towers. THATS RIGHT. the twin towers. I remember it cause I watched this movie every year on Christmas, well during my childhood days. but is it really necessary? well, maybe it is, but then again... they cut off that specific part of the movie. just wanted to share...
ANYWAY! what holiday movies are you watching??? 8)

The holiday's are a happy time so I assume they removed it to avoid reminding anyone watching who may have lost loved ones on 9/11 (though, that's something not easily forgotten). I'm not sure how I feel about it, indifferent I suppose.

Hmm, haven't watched any holiday movies yet. Not sure if I will. I'm guessing something will be playing when I visit my family, but it's not likely that I'll pay much attention.

I bought the dvd yesterday and watching it now as I post in the thread im actually up to the part when the kid starts setting up the house for his pranks. Its a great movie my favorite part is when he's in the hotel room and scares the workers by playing that movie with the shooting scene on the surround sound its hilarious.

Not surprised by the twin towers thing. It's not just Home Alone either, it's been multiple movies I've noticed that in. I get that it may hit home for some people, but I think removing scenes from movies is taking it a bit too far... Oh well, whatever lol

I actually just watched Home Alone this weekend and have 2 lined up to watch tonight :D I have an odd obsession with Macaulay Culkin O_o Other awesome holiday movies on my list, or that I have watched so far:

The Grinch (both versions)
Meet Me In St Louis
Christmas Story
Charlie Brown Christmas
The Santa Clause (one of my all time fav movies in general ^_^ )
Muppets Christmas Carol <---- best Xmas movie of all time!

I see that reasoning…. but really? I mean, if we made movies based on things that would bring up bad memories, or offend people…. the only movies that would come out would be movies about cute kittens and puppies. Although, that may upset someone who had a puppy or kitten that died… damn… nope, there just wouldn’t be movies lol

I remember hearing about this a few years back. It makes sense, a movie is supposed to be something you should enjoy, if I had someone close to me die in the 9/11 attacks I wouldn't want to be reminded of it all the time either.

Following that line of thought movies about war should be banned, car movies gone.. hey someone somewhere lost someone in a car.. slippery slope. I understand the sentiment but there's a line of being too sensitive

Kenoi

12-22-2011, 06:05 PM

thats a good point there too Trunks, but yeah... I guess the FCC wanted to cut out that specific part in the movie.... cause like you said, it reminds people of that tragic moment....

@mizel, you know, that might not sound like a bad idea... movies huh? man... chinese food makes me sick sometimes.... it really does... M.S.G. & all that.... but you know, cant be hungry all day. thanks for the idea!

Hey, if Chinese food is a no go then Denny’s is always good back-up! :P

oh man, I had a bad experience with Denny's once, and there's only one around me within 20min away, here's a little story I got to tell,

anyway, I made an order of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and some hash browns.... this was breakfast

instead, they gave me waffles with strawberry on it.... so the effed up my order! and it wasn't even that busy.. maybe the waitress wanted me to stay & stall me or somethin... I dont know, I haven't a clue....

then at lunch when I went there, (another day) I ordered a plain hamburger... instead they gave me an omelet! WHAT IS THIS?! man....

so they keep effin up on my orders so.... I quit going to DENNYS.

Hahaha, wow. That’s not even like…. messing up something simple, that’s totally screwing up your entire meal. That’s pretty bad :P

Last time I was at Denny’s, we went from the bar. It’s right next door, and we were too drunk to drive home so we walked over to get some food. I ordered fries… passed out on the table… and woke up and my fries were gone! >:( Bastard friends lol

But yea, Im the only one I know that loves Denny’s. Literally… no on else will ever go with me :P

haha, I just got done watching that movie, but then again, i dont like the 3rd one... it just isn't the same anymore. and its kind of a newer generation

anyway, strip clubs huh???? man.... I just cant look at women that way....

Any of them after 2 are just horrible :P lol

It was actually pretty fun.... but also really sad at the same time... either way, I dont think Id ever go again, but it was an interesting experience :P
