23 Reasons Rebooting 'Home Alone' On Disney+ Is A Terrible Idea, You Filthy Animals

If you want to see how bad "Home Alone" is without Macaulay Culkin, watch "Home Alone 3."

The cast was just announced for the "Home Alone" reboot on Disney+. While it's a solid cast, we are just wondering why it was necessary to reboot this Christmas classic in the first place.

It doesn't work. Cell phones.

Kevin McCallister = little Macauley Culkin ONLY.

Kevin wouldn't have a Seamless account, so he couldn't order the pizza.

Will there be enough annoying cousin distractions to make the forgetting of the kid possible? Doubtful.

"Home Alone" is arguably the best Christmas movie of all-time. It might be the last movie on earth that needs a reboot.

Good luck replicating Macaulay Culkin's Oscar-winning performance. 

The soundtrack from the O.G. "Home Alone" is too perfect, how could you top that?

There is NO way with internet, smart phones, Alexa, etc. that leaving your kid at home can be solved in a matter of minutes.

Kevin is 36 years old in 2019.

The gun sounds that the pizza guy hears would be 100 percent reported and investigated within 10 minutes.

You expect us to believe that there isn't ONE human the parents could call to get the child you left at home?!

"Home Alone" is one of the most quotable movies EVER. No new script will come close.

Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci are THE Marv and Harry, and I won't let you ruin this for me.

The stuff he uses to booby trap the house are so era specific it is cinematic GOLD.

THERE WAS ALREADY MULTIPLE SEQUELS WITH THE FIRST OF THEM BEING ANOTHER CLASSIC!

Making a reboot tells the children of today they don't need to watch the original.

IF BABY YODA ISN'T PLAYING KEVIN IN THE REBOOT, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED DISNEY+!

Also, they wouldn't have been late to the airport in the first place. Even if the power went out, the alarms would be set on cell phones.

Even if they left Kevin at home, he would have just Ubered to the airport himself.

None of them would have made their flights in 2019 if they were running that late because airport security is a NIGHTMARE.

There would be a MUCH better security system on this house...

The original "Home Alone" is simply the greatest ode to cheese pizza of all-time and it is perfect.

Now Kevin would be dairy free, gluten free, or vegan.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
