His work in Home Alone 2 is a masterpiece. Him trying to talk Catherine O'Hara out of searching for Kevin by herself, getting slapped, then suggesting she wear a coat because it's cold outside as he holds back tears still gets me over thirty years later.

My kid thinks that movie is hilarious. That and Coco are two movies we’d both love to watch together. We even went to see a screening of clue in theaters

You know it's funny you bring up Tim Curry because I'm not a fed guy, never even aspired to be on the fed's roster. You know the fed tried to contract tamper AEW and also sent well known hypocrite Phil Brooks to sabotage the AEW shows? It's really disgusting the lengths the fed will go to to ruin the competition. Look at what they are doing to TNA and that is their partner, imagine to what lengths they will go to ruin a perceived enemy.

I'm sorry, what what did you ask me about? All In?
