Another Home Alone? What are people’s thoughts and takes

Yes, you read right, another Home alone movie. They have milked it to the last drop but even this is pushing it. After the original release in 1990, they have made 4 others. In my opinion, they should have stopped at one and left the Christmas classic alone as it should have been. The family favorite will be coming back again after the last release in 2012. It was released on November 12, 2021.

 

The Drive Against It

After Disney announced the trailer on October 12, there has been an extremely negative response. Most say they should not reboot yet another movie and just stick to the 90s classic. On YouTube, most of the videos that showcase the trailer have a greater amount of dislikes than likes. I completely agree with them! One movie was a classic, an amazing concept that everyone loved. Two movies were pushing it but easy to ignore. But then they didn’t stop coming. More and more came out and honestly I haven’t watched them and I would not like to. After ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’ everyone was done. The OG made $476.7 million and it went downhill from there.

The fans aren’t the only ones that have actively spoken against it. The original director Chris Columbus gave his opinions to Insider in 2020 “No, nobody got in touch with me about it, and it’s a waste of time as far as I’m concerned. What’s the point? I’m a firm believer that you don’t remake films that have had the longevity of Home Alone,” he said. “You’re not going to create lightning in a bottle again. It’s just not going to happen. So why do it? It’s like doing a paint-by-numbers version of a Disney animated film — a live-action version of that. What’s the point? It’s been done. Do your own thing. Even if you fail miserably, at least you have come up with something original,” Columbus continued.

Though Macaulay Culkin hasn’t shared his opinion he has disclosed that he will not be in the new reboot. He won’t even be making a cameo.

 

Repetition

Surprise surprise, it’s about the same thing as before. A young child left alone for Christmas, a big chaotic family, burglars going for the house, and a witty mischievous child. A press release from Disney shows how the movie is the same.

Max Mercer is a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays. So, when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers…and he will do whatever it takes to keep them out. Hilarious hijinks of epic proportions ensued, but despite the absolute chaos, Max comes to realize that there is no place like home sweet home.

As you can see, it is the same. Max (Archie Yates) does the same thing as Macaulay Culkin except for having new tricks and traps.

 

My Opinion

     So I watched it, and as expected it was bad. I didn’t like the concept at all, and I disliked how the movie ended. The acting wasn’t good at all, and the storyline was strange and not at all realistic. Yes, the whole concept is unrealistic but it was very very out there. While I disliked it as a whole, some parts such as the trap with the treadmill, and the references to the original movie did make it better. That was about all I liked about it though. Overall it was just a failed attempt to redo the classic. It was overdone and too confident. Even if there had been no original and ‘Home Sweet Home Alone’ was a new concept, I must say I still wouldn’t have liked it. Maybe it’s all an inside joke about ruffling the feathers of the fans by continuing to make more of the same movie. I hope so because this movie was a joke. 

Reasons why homework sucks

Reasons why homework sucks

Nobody likes homework and believe it or not homework has many cons. Homework is harmful to health, takes away important time, causes lots of frustration, and takes away the desire to learn. 

 

Harmful to health

To begin, homework is very harmful to health. Too much homework causes lots of stress, sometimes stress can be good but in this case, it’s harmful to us and our health. If you’re under stress a lot you will start to experience physical and emotional problems. Physical problems include headaches, upset stomach, high blood pressure, and chest pain. Emotional problems include anxiety, depression, and even panic attacks.

Homework is the main cause of stress. Getting homework done on time and not understanding it can cause lots of stress and affect students’ health in negative ways.

Another way homework affects health is it causes students to stay up late and not get enough sleep. Students will stay up late trying to get all their homework done and because of this, they don’t get the amount of sleep they need. Sleep is crucial to our health, sleep lets us recharge, keeps us healthy, and helps us stave off diseases. Without sleep your brain can’t function properly, you can’t concentrate, think clearly, or process information and memories. All the homework is hurting us mentally and physically.  

 

Takes away time

Next, homework takes away very important time with family, friends, and time for yourself. Many students take lots of time trying to get homework done, if students had no homework or even less homework they would have lots more time to spend with family and friends. Family and friends are a big part of our lives and homework is taking lots of that time away.

In the article Homework or Personal Lives, it says, “They’re pressured by their parents to do their homework while simultaneously being encouraged to spend time with family, eat, spend time with friends, go outside, participate in sports or other extracurricular activities, and sleep for 7+ hours. Rather than motivating students to master the material and learn efficiently, homework negatively impacts students by taking away from personal time that is necessary for them to lead balanced lives.” This article shows the negative effects of homework and what it takes away from kids. If we didn’t have homework students would have a lot more time for themselves and that would benefit them a lot. 

 

Frustration

In addition, homework causes lots of frustration. Students come home from a long day at school and then have to get all their homework done. Lots of the time students don’t understand their homework and this also causes lots of frustration. Frustration can also lead to other problems like loss of confidence, more stress, anger, aggressive behavior, irritability, and even depression. The more homework students have the more frustration and the more likely they are to have these problems. 

 

Takes away the desire to learn

Last, homework takes away the desire to learn. Normally students don’t like homework and hate doing it and these feelings of hate are associated with learning so students want to avoid learning. For example, the article Fighting a Losing Battle: Too Much Homework Can Interfere with Learning by GoodTherapy states, “The overwhelming majority of homework assignments force children to sit down and memorize facts rather than experience their world.

Not only does this make information more difficult to learn; it can also decrease your child’s motivation to learn. When learning is made miserable, children associate the thing they’re learning with misery and want to avoid it. This is why tactics such as forced silent reading time or flashcards rarely help children learn math and vocabulary.” This shows how homework is doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to do, taking away the desire to learn.

 

In conclusion, homework has many consequences and shouldn’t exist. Homework is harmful to health and causes lots of stress, takes away valuable time with friends and family, causes lots of frustration, and above all takes away the desire to learn. 

Here is how to live a longer and healthier life

Here is how to live a longer and healthier life

Do you want to live a longer life? Be a healthier and happier person? Well here are 5 keys to do so. 

 Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health held a massive study on the impact of health habits on life expectancy.

 These are some of the answers they got from the study. Using data they found from Well-known nurses and health professionals’ follow-up studies. Harvard Health states that “this shows that they had data over a lot of people for a long period.” It is also stated that they had found data on over 78,000 women from 1986 to 2014. “This is over 120,000 participants, 34 years worth of data for Women and 28 years for men.” It is stated that researchers look at “diets, physical activity, body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption.”  

 

What is counted as a “Healthy Lifestyle exactly?”  

 People say that these 5 areas were chosen because they have had a big impact on the risk of premature death. These are the things you can do to have a healthy lifestyle. 

 

 1. Start a healthy diet, When I think of diets I think of salads, let’s see what they say about diets. Harvard Health reported that” The intake of healthy foods such as Fruits, Nuts, Vegetables, Whole Grains, and omega-3 fatty acids, and unhealthy foods like red onions, processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, trans fat, and sodium.”  

2. You may be asking yourself how long do I need to be working out for it to start doing something? Harvard Health states that “at least 30 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous activity.” 

  1.  What is the weight that is considered “healthy?” “normal body weight is 18.5kg to 24.9kg.” 
  2.  Does smoking change how healthy or unhealthy you are? Harvard Health says that “There is no healthy amount of smoking.” Which is also saying don’t smoke to be healthy. 

 

  1.  If you do decide to have alcohol here is the intake to maintain being healthy. 5 and 15 grams per day for women and 5 to 30 grams per day for men. Harvard Health says that “generally alcohol has 14 grams of pure alcohol. Which is the same as 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of regular wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. 

 

Harvard Health also says that when they research they also look at medication intake, age, ethnicity. 

Does having a healthy lifestyle change anything? 

It has been researched that having a healthy lifestyle makes a big difference. It is also recorded that people who fulfilled all 5 habits enjoyed significantly longer lives than those who did none of the habits. 14 years for women and 12 for men. If they started the habits at 50 years old. People who did none of these habits were far more likely to die prematurely of cancer or cardiovascular disease. I hope you enjoyed reading about “5 keys to living a longer life” and maybe learned something you didn’t know before reading this. I also got this article and information

Collegiate Football bowl games arriving soon, so who is playing where?

Collegiate Football bowl games arriving soon, so who is playing where?

Mid-Season Overview

Collegiate Football bowl games are arriving soon, so who’s playing where is a question we ask ourselves every year. With teams such as Alabama, Oregon, Georgia, and Oklahoma all looking like they are playoff contenders, who will make it to the grand stage?

 

Season Schedule

A team’s schedule is always planned out a few years in advance, and with the rankings constantly changing, who knows as of right now who will make it, but you can use the team’s remaining schedule, we can decide the toughness, and chances of making it to big bowl games.

The top teams in the predictions for a playoff spot are:

  1. Georgia
  2. Alabama
  3. Oregon
  4. Ohio State

 

New Year’s Six Bowl (NY6)

For right now, these are all predictions and can change easily over time with wins and losses. But there are many other teams available for New-Years-6 bowls, and that means that some real competition is up. For instance, BYU, a possible NY6 bowl contender. Although slim, BYU’s chances of making it to an NY6 bowl are still possible. BYU needs to win the rest of their games, including GASU, an 87% win. The week after that, USC, the only team BYU should have any worries about, but should still make it past and make it to a big(ish) bowl. But looking at all of this, there is almost no chance that BYU will even get CLOSE to making it to the playoffs.

The NY6 games are the biggest college football games of the year, these six bowl games include: 

Rose Bowl — Big Ten #1 vs. Pac-12 #1 (Michigan State VS Oregon)

Sugar Bowl — SEC #1 vs. Big 12 #1 (Alabama VS Oklahoma State)

Orange Bowl — ACC #1 vs. SEC #2, Big Ten #2, or Notre Dame (Georgia VS Cincinnati)

Cotton Bowl — at-large or “Group of Five” (committee selection) (Oklahoma vs Ohio State)

Fiesta Bowl — at-large or “Group of Five” (committee selection) (Texas A&M VS Notre Dame)

Peach Bowl — at-large or “Group of Five” (committee selection) (Wake Forest VS Michigan)

Parents or other guardians have saved money for their loved ones so that they could get an education to provide them a job to work hard on for their future. It is important to save money because money can be used for emergencies, as well as financial emergencies. It is also important to save money so you can provide for yourself and your family without relying on others. That is why it is important to save money.

 

What can you do with the money you have saved?

Having saved money can be beneficial for you in many ways. One thing you can do with the money you have saved is invest in things you can earn more money on. Another thing you can do with that money is to make sure to pay off your debt as an adult. You can also create a plan with that money and set a goal for how much you want to make in a certain amount of time. Also, make sure to spend your money wisely and usefully. One other thing you can do with your saved money continues to save it until satisfied or spend it on something convenient for you. Those are some of the things you can do with the money you have saved. When should you start saving money?

You can start saving money whenever you choose to. I suggest that you start saving your money now! It is always good to save your money starting at a young age. If you have missed the opportunity to start saving young, don’t let that discourage you. It is never too late to start saving money. You should, especially, start saving your money if you are an adult that has bills or debts to pay. You should also start saving money if you have a family to feed. If your responsibility is to take care of loved ones, you should save money for yourself and them. That is when you should start saving your money.

 

Where can you earn money?

There are many job opportunities you can receive to earn money. Getting a job might be hard depending on what situation you are in. You can also earn money by doing simple things. For example, you can earn money by babysitting. I especially recommend this if you are too young to have an official job. Another simple job you can have is cleaning other people’s homes. The pay in this task will depend on the owner of the home or how well you clean their house. Finding an official job can be hard, especially if you are still in school or have any sports in your schedule, but with hard work and determination, you can complete this task.

 

Who can you go to to help you save money?

Saving money is difficult, but with the help of others, you can achieve more than expected. Some people that can help you save your money could be your parents. Your parents can make sure you are spending the correct amount of money. They can also help you earn money as well. Another thing that can help you save money is the bank.

Saving your money can help you realize how many things and opportunities you have when doing so. Saving your money will affect your life in the best way possible. Saving money can affect the way you feel. For example, saving money can help you feel more confident financially. Saving your money can also help you stay comfortable and relaxed in knowing you have been able to succeed. Saving your money can also help you realize how grateful you should be for the position you are in right now. That is how saving money can affect you for the rest of your life.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to add that, you can always save money whether you are young or old, small or big, or successful or not. There is no limit on saving or earning money. If you work hard enough, you can become successful, happy, and healthy with your lifestyle.

The crime of human child trafficking: and why it’s it a problem

Human-child trafficking is a modern problem and is bigger than ever. People are sold, used for sex, and used for forced labor. There are over 200,000 American children at risk of being trafficked, and over 17,000 foreign children are transported to America a year alone.

The crime of Human child trafficking is worth $150,000,000 a year, something that has been going on for more than 12-14 years in the USA alone. But it has been going on for a lifetime in other countries.

Thousands of men and women are trafficked throughout the world and the USA. We live in a world and in a country that thinks this is okay. 200,000 children are trafficked in the USA a day, and we let this happen.

I know this might seem boring to read, but this is so important to know about. Because if we didn’t know then what kind of people we would be. We live in a world that is blinded by the truth that tells us lies, and false facts. But we need to get up from our seats and learn and teach this to others.

 

Here are some numbers of the four biggest states in trafficking

What state is number one, California with more than 400,000 kids used for forced labor and sex?

What second? Texas with more than 313,000 cases a year

3rd is Florida with more than 4,000 cases a year

The state is 4th, Utah, with more than 3,000 cases twice a year 

An anonymous person came out and made this statement: “Not a lot of people would care about this, Thinking what’s the problem? well, here’s the problem over 800,000 children go missing every year in the US alone we gotta stop this dismantle system because this is getting out of hand, it’s not the left versus the right, it’s what is wrong and what is right we got to stand up and fight for our children, they would paying us to be blind, to feel into all there lies, it’s time to wake up. and fight the right fight”.

over 90 kids get trafficked in your city a day. Most of them are kids your age, or mothers taken from their families, brothers, and sisters, but what’s sad is no one talks about it. We need more people to get out and fight.

You go ahead and look away, but know you can never say you didn’t know.
