r/homealone

i wonder if someone in this group knows, or, am i the only one who knows this day means it is angela goethals's turn with the birthdays?

if you do know it is her birthday and want to say so, but, please don't insult me if you respond.

yeah, where she's the 3rd cast member of this film to turn 49 since 2026 began after devin ratray turned 49 on january 11 and hillary wolf turned 49 on february 7.

and how do i know this day means her birthday, simple enough, i did the 2nd best thing i've ever done related to this movie in 2022 when looking the cast members up and finding out when their births happened,

when catching on from doing that about devin ratray, hillary wolf, angela goethals and mike maronna all being born in 1977 with me and,

macaulay culkin being born in 1980 and kieran culkin being born in 1982 as some examples.

and truthfully i don't care their screen time is limited and they're just doing SUPPORTING ROLES i refuse to say the word minor, and i don't know them on a personal level, but,

yeah i think about it every time i tune into home alone 1 about devin ratray, hillary wolf, angela goethals and mike maronnas's births all happening in 1977 along with mine, i care indeed about it.

because like if there is someone in this group that was born in 1980 that doesn't care about macaulay culkins's birth happening in the same year as yours, i'm sorry to hear you don't care about something like that.

happy birthday angela goethals.

i think about that moment in home alone 1 when macaulay culkin says to catherine o'hara everyone in this family hates me,

well, i have to quote him now by saying everyone in this group hates me.

yeah, i'm convinced that's true, prove me wrong then, from the way i've been ridiculed to going with the ABC broadcast of home alone 1 instead of a dvd of it,

and from the way i've been ridiculed for the reason why i don't want to watch home alone 2.

and not one person, not one has given a up reaction to the past 2 posts of mine in this group,

and someone called me sick in response to the post of mine from yesterday morning and that someone is barfyman369 and i confronted he/she about that,

because I AM NOT SICK, and i'm sensitive about the way the people speak to me and treat me.

"Millennial" here. Both Home Alone and Dumb and Dumber are cherished movies from my '90's childhood that I grew up watching repeatedly and love with all my heart.

Been watching both flicks a lot lately and have recently gotten to wondering--how would the Wet/Sticky bandits get along with the other duo?

*What if Harry and Lloyd inadvertently made off with some cash or goods that "belonged" to Harry and Marv?

*Suppose Harry and Lloyd picked up the burglars in their sheep dog: how would Harry and Marv deal with Lloyd making the most annoying sound in the world?

*That salt shaker Harry threw at Sea Bass' head in the diner? What if that had been Harry or Marv instead of Sea Bass? For that matter, how would Harry and Marv themselves have handled Sea Bass if they pissed him off?

Say Harry and Marv succeed in robbing Duncan's Toy Chest but subsequently lose their duffel bag full of the cash, and Harry and Lloyd happen across it. Harry and Lloyd spend all the money and replace it with IOUs just like they did the briefcase full of the ransom money. The Wet Bandits get the duffel bag back and discover the IOUs just like Nicholas Andre did. How would they have reacted?

i have to admit i feel that recording ABC's broadcast of home alone 4 months ago on december 24 is one of the best things i have ever done in my life,

and why,

well because ABC showed the movie UNEDITED for the first time ever, yeah, when they did a 2 hour 15 minute airing instead of 2 hours, so basically ABC showed everything for the first time ever in 2025 except the 1 thing they edited out was when daniel stern says shit that was the 1 and only edit.

and because with that copy of the movie you get something you won't get anywhere else you watch this film at dvd, bluray you name it and that is the ABC logo to look at at the bottom right screen during the movie.

and having that ABC logo to look at has made it much more fun to watch the movie with.

so someone who wrote a post on here in 2023 talking about ABC edits that post is now irrelevant after of course ABC showed it unedited in 2025.

well let me add in to i tried the family fun edition home alone dvd and the volume level on it sucked and the volume level on the broadcast i recorded from ABC is so much better.
