because they've done good with the tv show.

Or you could just buy it on dvd.

Yeah, there's that; whatever's easier by the time the show is done.

This is movies that couldn't be made, not movies that *shouldn't* be made.

Maybe he's referring to the fact we have Trump now and that the recent Ghostbusters was, in a sense, a glorified ad for Hillary?

I honestly would have preferred an Army of Darkness 2 film over a show that's on a channel I no longer have, but can't all get what we want. At least I should have it on netflix or somethin someday whenever it's out of seasons, even though a certain d-bag here spoiled what happened to Pablo for me in the TV show thread.

I hate that Starz refuses to sell the episodes individually until after the season has ended. It's just a bad business decision and seems like it only hurts the show.

But the movie could still be made. Good lord could you imagine the shitstorm if someone tried to stop it? I picture so many fat feminists with blue hair..just marching. Slowly, but still marching.

In this day and age, the plots of the first two Home Alone films wouldn't be possible due to advanced technology. They would probably only last about 15-20 minutes because of cell phones. Once Kevin's parents found out that he had been left alone, all they had to do was call him on one after they landed in Paris. Plus nowadays, people can use the alarms on their phones to wake them up in time. While a phone can't recharge without electricity, it's internal battery wouldn't be affected by a power outage.

And in Home Alone 2, I don't think anyone would let a kid with no boarding pass and without a parent/guardian on a flight. And now that I think of it, even after Kevin pointed out the man he thought was his father to the attendant, it was still a bad move on their part to let him on. Even before 9/11, the attendant would have gone up to the man and asked him if he was Kevin's father.

Kevin would also definitely have his own cell phone, which would mean a digital copy of his boarding pass, which would be scanned at the gate. There are lots of movies that would take a crazy amount of suspension of disbelief or ridiculously unlikely situations to happen now.

'Ace Ventura Pet Detective'.

The ending is wildly homophobic. wouldn't fly.

There are actually a lot of 80s/90s films where people toss fagola at each other that wouldn't be permitted now, but both those and Ace could be toned down in that regard without issue I'm sure.

toning it down means it wouldn't be the same movie, which is the purpose of the thread.

Good one. Shows how much the social landscape has changed in 20 years.

Despite some of the things that go on in movies now, I'm not sure some 80s movies would fly as teen comedies. Fast Times at Ridgemont High would likely have to be redone. Actress portraying an underage female shown naked on screen multiple times, banged by a 20-something, knocked up by a classmate then getting a quickie abortion and her bro taking her out to eat or whatever to make it all better. Doubt it would look anything like what it was originally.
