What happened to quality live-action "family adventure" movies in general? All the family movies are either animated or pure trash, or for niggers.
Kayden Morgan
it actually was wtf
Daniel Allen
Children growing up quicker than before thus enabling them to see adult movies very soon
Luke Price
Can't have good family movies if your goal is to destroy the family uinit

John Hughes successfully captured the wistful uncertainty of the 80's teenage zeitgeist, that sense of imminent "Well, what now?" and the fear of expectation.
His style doesn't mesh well with the sarcasm and apathetic rejection of post modernism. The 80's kids grew up and still hadn't figured things out, and the 90's kids rejected the idea of even bothering to try. We're so far gone believing there even is a purpose that anxieties about questioning our purpose have ceased to possess any meaning.
Like Xavier asked us all- "What doth life?"
Christopher Ross
This scene alone perfectly captures why his movies wouldn't work today
Nicholas Long
Is this pasta or is this a very good comment?

>why do once great artists lose their touch
Isn't that the age old question now isn't it

>A scathing 1992 article by Richard Lallch for Spy magazine took a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like working in “Hughesland” just two years after Home Alone came out. The piece portrayed Hughes as a “crazed, scary, capricious bully” who was “getting at least $10 million a year to crank out consistently mediocre money losers.” Hughes Entertainment wasn’t the seemingly fun and loose hangout that you imagined his earlier films coming from, but after a string of failures all released in 1991—Career Opportunities, Only the Lonely, Dutch, and Curly Sue—Lallch surmised that Hughes “badly” needed a hit. The result? Home Alone 2, which netted $173 million in the U.S. alone.
Looks like the success of Home Alone inflated his ego. Fascinating article.

they stopped giving a fuck about quality and instead focused on the agenda.
Ethan Carter
Are you fucking retarded user?
Grayson Carter
This scene, along with the nerd doing all the work and ending up alone, is one of the two reasons it's a great movie. No other teen movie has this level of realism.
Zachary Wilson
What the fuck was his problem?
