    The best movie idea I ever heard was grown up Kevin is a fuckup, down on his luck, gets in a desperate situation, decides to find Harry and Marv and reprise the Wet Bandits with them to rob some houses, and encounters a kid just like him, same gags except Kevin knows some of them are coming abd it turns into a battle of wits. Something like that.

        I was pirating a ton of movies and decided to see about home alone. I found a torrent that says home alone one through five and I said what the fuck. I think I only knew of two of them.

      What a half-assed, barely-a concept idea. It needs to be fleshed-out, if not complete rewritten. It’s also absolutely genius. Please, take my money!!!

        Maybe there’s another nastier crew crew that happens to be casing “the kids” house and the Wet Bandits decide to turn over a new leaf and help the kid defend the house and set the booby traps?

          The wet bandits break into a house and find a kid locked up in the basement. He’s about to warn them when the home owners show up: a bunch of incestuous hillbillies with chainsaws. The movie will be called “you shouldn’t watch this at home alone”.

          Way more folks of that era that are burnt out middle aged folks that don’t end up where they expected 40s are a huge transition time for lots of people… divorce, school debt, add the constant feelings of failure that life gives you in middle age,…

          Then some how setting that house of horrors loose on life, like like those silly burglars in the original.
