I like those dates.
Where I live they start showing the franchise on the first Advent Sunday and by the time Christmas rolls around they're at episode 4 or 5 and it's depressing as shit.
It reminds everyone of better times. John Hughes based the style of all his movies on his own childhood growing up in the 1950s, when America was at its cultural and economic peak.
Why are people so mean? We don't choose the face and bodies we're born with. We have very little control with how it turns out. She looks fit and healthy to me.
Yeah I don't get it. It's one thing if she was some annoying c**t journalist or something but she was just a child actress. She might have some kind of legit skin condition.
the comments are harsh, but tbh she has done a shit job for skin care, clearly. that is years worth of built up carelessness. inexcusable for an actress.
>just turned 30 >one kid with another on the way >in an awful relationship >hardly see friends or family >just work, family obligations, and less sleep than I need for the last 3 years
I get it makes you feel insignificant and childish that you’re halfway through life with no hard struggles or real responsibilities to age you. But with that logic I could feel insignificant and childish because my family wasn’t hacked to death when I was 8 and left to raise several siblings in rural Africa. You should really just enjoy what you have and try to challenge yourself a little more and chase comfort a little less.
It's time I grow up, but I don't know how to start
For Halloween, I gave kids Nicorette and old Pop-Tarts
Sleep with the TV on, 'cause I'm not cool with the dark
And I'll turn around and go home instead of parallel park
Friend's wife is breastfeeding at brunch on the strip
Put my shades on so they can't tell I'm trying to see Nip
Still need to ask them both to help me figure out what to tip
Then take an Uber home because it's noon and I'm pretty ripped
And I don't know if it's heroic or depressing as shit
But I don't think I'll figure life out
So I might as well quit
And if you ever get tired of trying to work it all out
You know where to come and find me if you want to hang out
Holla at ya boy
I'm at the 7-11 parking lot
Patron and La Croix
Well into my 30s and still permanently lit
Yeah, I'm not good at this adult shit
>tfw im either the same age or older than most of the "adult" characters in all the movies i watched as a kid yet these people still look and seem like 50+ year olds to me
They had working careers, homesteads, and hobbies for 20 years in a peaceful prosperous economy responsive to their political demands.
You've spent 20 years neeting, working precarious jobs, and being alone in a post-soviet tier economic implosion and a world gone mad where you might as well be a pre-teen again for all the influence you have on it.
We all have similar backstories, we were raised differently and didn't fit in or had some mental illness, society does not give a frick about teenage boys and so we were socially ostracized by normies brainwashed by mass media and no one gave a shit, we became jaded and withdrawn and the internet provided respite, eventually gravitating towards this place.
I got lucky and bought bitcoin, others are into techshit, but I am guessing most did not, whatever our stories, we went through a demoralized hikkikomori period and realized society is not quite as inclusive and tolerant as we had been led to believe and that the world we were raised in is slowly decaying.
Pizza is pretty cheap. Use to be what, 99 cents a slice (huge slice, a fifth of a pizza)? Cheaper as whole pizzas and cheaper in bulk. I'm guess that in the '90s it'd be 5 bucks or less for 1 pizza.
So nominally would be 50 bucks for 10 pizzas. Except if you order that much or are regular customers you'd get a discount. So probably something like 45 bucks only.

It's true, every middle class regular kid expected their families would eventually move into a house like this. And that it was easily obtainable. Only the Paris for Christmas angle seemed exotic.
t. saw it in 3rd grade
My son will be 15 when I turn 40.
I was at an event with a bunch of parents and realized all the other parents were already near or passed their 40s and their kids are 6-8.
That sounds exhausting.
my mom was 17 when she had me. it was great having young parents as a kid, they had tons of energy. everyone else had parents that were the same age as my grandparents, they always looked miserable.
It's a tradeoff. I definitely was not mature enough to handle being a parent in my 20's, my life was a mess.
Yeah, so glad I had one early. I didn’t plan it but her mom is a full decade older than me and she struggles to get through the day while I push through and have energy to roughhouse before bed

From what I've heard recently the studio had to pay hush money to the g/f of John Heard to stop her pressing charges because he beat the shit out of her. Filming was nearly complete when this happened.
I turned 40 a month ago and still dont feel like I know shit about anything. I struggle to keep things clean, only eat packaged and microwaved foods and just do the bare minimum at work to scrape by. I honestly am surprised that I haven't killed myself yet. It's the little things that keep me going, but that could easily change

Why is Cinemaphile obsessed with this franchise?
In my country there is a nationwide tradition to watch both movies every Christmas, the first one on 24th and the second one on 25th
I like those dates.
Where I live they start showing the franchise on the first Advent Sunday and by the time Christmas rolls around they're at episode 4 or 5 and it's depressing as shit.
It reminds Millennials of better times.
Very true
You mean boomers right?
I'm 35.
As a Millennial, I just want to say you're right. It reminds us of better times.
It reminds everyone of better times. John Hughes based the style of all his movies on his own childhood growing up in the 1950s, when America was at its cultural and economic peak.
>drinks too much soda and pees on your face
nothing personal kid
>Christmas is approaching
>Christmas shit is already everywhere
>"Why are you talking about one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time?"
But this thread is about Home Alone not Die Hard.
Die Hard being a popular Christmas movie does not mean Home Alone is not also "one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time."
>mfw i turned 36 this year but still feel like im in my 20s
same
>look in the mirror
>frick
Why are people so mean? We don't choose the face and bodies we're born with. We have very little control with how it turns out. She looks fit and healthy to me.
She went vegan and took Starlight under her wing
tiktok is ruder than Cinemaphile what the hell
its instagram you fricking boomer
sorry I only use facebook
it’s instagram. instagram comment sections have been pretty based for a while.
>inb4 normalgay
i don’t give a shit you fricking basement dweller
Instagram is millennial central so it's still got some lingering 00s netiquette vibes.
Holy frick you're old asl if you think insta comment sections are filled with coallennials.
>36
yeah. so did I. the next few years are gonna be tough buddy.
how
I started feeling old at 26, now at 29 I feel like life will only get worse
you're right about that
I'm 29 and still feel like I did when I was 19. As fit and energetic, no aches or pains anywhere. Everything works.
zoom-zoom
Why are people so rude?
Yeah I don't get it. It's one thing if she was some annoying c**t journalist or something but she was just a child actress. She might have some kind of legit skin condition.
Do oldheads really just go around crying on the internet?
>50 years for Gryffindor
I'm 28 and I feel both 16 and 56 at the same time it's an odd feeling.
I'm so glad I matted an Asian. Still looks 21
I'm glad too. My white kids are gonna bully the frick out of your little elliot rodger mutt freak kids.
the comments are harsh, but tbh she has done a shit job for skin care, clearly. that is years worth of built up carelessness. inexcusable for an actress.

>tfw but 32 in February
I just turned 31 but feel like I've reverted back to 13 years old. The past 18 years just feel like a strange blur to me.
Natural redheads age terribly, their skin is more susceptible to wrinkles and sun damage
Turning 37 next month, it feels weird
It's time I grow up, but I don't know how to start
For Halloween, I gave kids Nicorette and old Pop-Tarts
Sleep with the TV on, 'cause I'm not cool with the dark

How does he know
We all have similar backstories, we were raised differently and didn't fit in or had some mental illness, society does not give a frick about teenage boys and so we were socially ostracized by normies brainwashed by mass media and no one gave a shit, we became jaded and withdrawn and the internet provided respite, eventually gravitating towards this place.

>35
>large family
>Family trip to Paris
>Average sized middle class home in the suburbs
This was normal until boomers fricked the economy
Don't forget ordering 10 pizzas at once
and those were 90's style large pizzas 20 inches, not 14 or the gay shrinkflated shit they give you now.
Pizza is pretty cheap. Use to be what, 99 cents a slice (huge slice, a fifth of a pizza)? Cheaper as whole pizzas and cheaper in bulk. I'm guess that in the '90s it'd be 5 bucks or less for 1 pizza.
So nominally would be 50 bucks for 10 pizzas. Except if you order that much or are regular customers you'd get a discount. So probably something like 45 bucks only.
i won't lie this is the most moronic thing i think i have ever read on this website
$122.50
That's with tip, tax and probably delivery fee.
the actress was 35
they live in a god damn mansion
The entire point of the movie was how fantastical it was
That was absolutely not the norm, they were upper upper middle class.
no they were rich, the house is in Winnetka which is a super-rich suburb of Chicago.
It's true, every middle class regular kid expected their families would eventually move into a house like this. And that it was easily obtainable. Only the Paris for Christmas angle seemed exotic.
t. saw it in 3rd grade
People's endocrine systems weren't as destroyed back then
This is what that dude looks like in modern times. Well, 2011.
That gayot doing aight.
looks healthy
No offense, but why would any sane woman ever want to marry him? Their kids would be bullied to hell and back with that name.
How come they're all white
Ok, she looks 35. So what's your point here man?
The short hair didn't do her any favors.
O'Hara was still a babe for years.
>people got married in their early 20s and had teenaged kids before they were 40
My son will be 15 when I turn 40.
I was at an event with a bunch of parents and realized all the other parents were already near or passed their 40s and their kids are 6-8.

looks 35 to me
From what I've heard recently the studio had to pay hush money to the g/f of John Heard to stop her pressing charges because he beat the shit out of her. Filming was nearly complete when this happened.
It's a fact that white woman and white people in general age like milk.
that is plastic surgery you moronic fool
>makeup and plastic surgery
she looks cute without the filter
100%. I don’t understand the asian obsession with pigeon jaws
Top right is the only one who actually looks significantly better with makeup.
She was 35 in 1989 when they filmed this...lol
Correction she started filming at 35 and over the 83 days of filming she turned 36.
Yeah, she looks 35.
I turned 40 a month ago and still dont feel like I know shit about anything. I struggle to keep things clean, only eat packaged and microwaved foods and just do the bare minimum at work to scrape by. I honestly am surprised that I haven't killed myself yet. It's the little things that keep me going, but that could easily change
Hang in there, my dude
you're self aware so you have that going for you. most people don't reflect on their place in the world and their habits
Being self aware is a worse kinds hell.
If the scatman can do it, so can you
I've got a feeling that approx 25% of all males between 25-50 are like that.
More like 70% if they are single.

Catherine O'Hara was 35 during filming.
she hot
cant wait for AI to get better and see her bent over in light pink slouch socks. But yeah she looks 36 just like her real age at the time.

I know some mentally ill zoomers who act like turning 40 is horrendous and that life after that age isn't worth living
I can't wait for these morons to age and find out that they're actually still the same person they always were, just with more aches and pains
It blows my mind that boomers started popping out kids in their 20s
If you were able to have a steady career, a wife and purchase a home by your early 20s you probably would've too.
Nah, i would spend that money on traveling
Your mother is also supposed to look 35, so what's your point?
