Macaulay Culkin Finally Shared Why He Likes "Home Alone 2" More Than The First One
Let's talk Home Alone 1 vs. Home Alone 2.
We barely acknowledge the third, and any of those others do not exist!!!
For decades, people have debated which one is better.
The first gets points for being the original. There are arguably better violent acts against Harry and Marv, there's the scary (but nice) shovel guy, and that iconic house.
The second takes place in New York, which automatically elevates it. We have the gay icon Pigeon Lady, the turtle doves, and a completely implausible post-9/11 plot*.
*That would never, ever happen today!
And now we know which one Macaulay likes more.
Duh, it's the second.
Macaulay revealed on an episode of Hot Ones why: "I got paid more," he said.
"I think I own 5% of the net. I also own 15% of the merchandising. So, if you buy a Talkboy, I'm like 'Yeah, I'll take 15% of that.'"
So, there you go. He got paid more, and you know what, that's reason enough for me*.
*But also Pigeon Lady. I love Pigeon Lady.
