: it's your fucking caps lock! turn it off...jesus christ that's annoying to read...

People who type in all-caps seriously need die!

It's more annoying even than writing things that are stupid. Our friend Long Duck Dong here is, unfortunately guilty of both.

: ... and john hughes didn't direct home alone, he wrote it only...chris columbus directed it...

Yep. You'd think someone with a bizarre and disturbing fetishistic worship of John Hughes would know a very, very basic fact like that.

: ... and home alone was annoying...not everything someone does is the best ever...just because hughes wrote it doesn't mean you have to like it

No shit. Since his heyday somewhere in 1986, he's been inconsistent AT BEST! HOME ALONE is seriously crap. Kevin not liking it out of knee-jerk worship of John Hughes just shows that he has discernment.

Also, despite his generational love of the '80s Hughes' teen movies, Kevin has never - to my knowledge - suggested that he thinks Hughes is his favorite filmmaker or anything of the sort. Most of his references are more about shared experience of he and his audience more than allusions to everything he thinks are the greatest works of all.

I'm pretty sure that he's speaking fairly directly from his own beliefs in that line there, knowing full well John Hughes' role as writer and producer (but NOT director) on the film. I'm sorry Mr. Dong.
