      They somehow made it look bland as hell. They added a fucking basketball court? Are they targeting Chicago Bulls players?

        I’m having this argument with my realtor right now. She wants me to paint the entire house a boring white color, destroying all of its character; even ruin the wood cabinets by painting them too. I think she’s crazy but the wife is siding with her so I don’t know what the fuck to do. I don’t want to ruin my beautiful stained wood with ugly, white paint. I find it hard to believe that this is what actually sells.

    It was a multi family household along with his aunts uncles and cousins. Probably cheaper to do it that way.

        are you going to blame the child for developing coping mechanisms for the intense neglect he grew up with?

    My fav part is on the plane when Kevin’s dad guesses that the issue is he left the garage door open… and is completely unbothered by it. This sort of thing would have ruined my dad’s entire vacation.

    250k was still a shit ton of money back then, not a round trip to the grocery store like now.

      Assuming they purchased that home in 1980 at 250k that would be valued just under 1 million today after inflation.

      That house would easily be selling for 2 to 3 million now

          That value may be inflated due to the film.

          I’d like to see comparative properties in the same area

          So I mean after all the damage that Kevin and the wet bandits did to the house of course they needed to have renovations done.

        Happy cake day, I think that house will be in the millions. That’s basically a mansion in a Chicago suburb, a relatively nice neighborhood, and in walking distance of a big park.

        Edit: fix my terrible spelling of millions, and also judging by other comments, yes it’s an expensive house.

          I’d guess 2 to 3 million.

          If you put that home in a lower cost of living area sure it could be 500,000 but not in the area the movie takes place

      once you stop taking politics seriously it’s fucking hilarious that the americans elected a president who felt the need to be in a fucking Home Alone movie because he is that egotistical.

      you probably have to do a ton of weed or randomly dissociate after coming home from the grocery store where you spent your life savings, but man once you get there

        I think that part is pretty normal, lots of people make deals like that

        The crazy part is how he used to call newspapers under false names to talk himself up

        Hell, there’s a reasonable amount of evidence suggesting that he was never a billionaire (until this year at least), he apparently got on the Forbes list by bugging them until they put him in

          the crazy part is that Murdoch and Co.'s grip on america is so strong that he has half the country dancing to his tune, through a combination of stupidity and greed (fox/WSJ/majority of “independent” radio stations etc.)

          Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.

        He had to be in it because they filmed in his hotel. Imagine Paris Hilton wanting to be in a film because part of the movie is shot in a Hilton. It wasn’t enough that everything in that hotel is labeled “Trump”, he had to show up and have a speaking role because otherwise you might forget who the hotel belongs to.
