Lol you guys are wack. For four million dollars you could just get someone to shoot a TV show in your own house and you wouldn’t even have to move.
A decade or so ago some guy came to my apartment in Brooklyn and wanted to know if they could use it for a new show called the Americans. I pretended that I was the owner of the building and that we were not interested.
There has to be some buyer out there who would pay some premium (not 3 million plus) and not actually live there, but charge people admission to go in and check it out. I’m having a hard time imagining that turning that into a significantly profitable enterprise, but maybe someone who is better at that than I am could figure something out.
I’ve walked by the Home Alone house (it’s actually in the Chicago area). I doubt anyone would pay that kind of premium (on a percentage basis) for it. I’m guessing it’s probably worth about 2 million without considering the connection to the film.
John Hughes loved to film the Chicago suburbs.
The Southside? Not so much.
NGL that is a magnificent home. Got just the room for Kieran Culkin too if he ever decides to visit.
Shit. Looks like I underestimated the fuck out of that. In my defense, I saw the house it in 2012 (only from outside). It has been a long time.
Binged Departure on Netflix today. Decent but I think in the end it was one twist too much.
Finally filled a gap in my TV data bank and watched S1 of True Detective. Wow, that was fantastic. A bit slow-paced, which made the episodes feel like they were two hours long, but Matthew McConaughey was unreal.
You has still got it.
This Laid show is kind of amusing, but it has a really good cameo in the last episode
I don’t understand how Matt Berry isn’t a megastar. He’s so damn funny. Can take any mundane line and make it hilarious with clever intonations or changes in pronunciation.
Toast of London is calling for a rewatch…
jesus christ my wife is watching big little lies (again) and christ can they just launch every one of these characters into the fucking sun
meryl streep is amazing tho gotta hand it to her (her character should be #1 into the sun tho)
My favorite Danny DeVito scene, where he is terrified that a premonition is coming true and that death is on the other side of the door:
In honor of The Wire winning the all-time GOAT TV show tourney, I am rewatching the show. I’ve seen seasons one and two multiple times but honestly can’t remember seasons three onward, so I started there and it’s like watching a brand new show. Now I am wondering if I ever watched the whole show. Anyway, I feel quite fortunate to be able to watch it either as new or like new.
