Is Chris Columbus going to change his name? After all, he is named after a white European genocidal racist.

A friend has a house in Long Beach, CA, which has been used in both commercials and movies, several times in the past 15 years. He is paid well for the use of the house. The producers have also completely repainted the house in a color of their choice (The producer wanted the house to be a specific color, they painted it, then repainted when finished).
If what trump did is true, it is not "bullying", it is negotiating a fee for the use of his property. The producer had one easy option: Choose a different location.

Even if the idiot director’s claim is true, what the hell is he complaining about? If I set a condition for someone to use MY PROPERTY to film a movie scene, it isn’t “bullying” by any stretch.

FTA......when we screened the movie for the first time the oddest thing happened.........
People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen.........
So I told my editor, ‘Leave Trump in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.’

Let it go, Donald. He’s a Democrat-Progressive. He’s trying to impress his friends by insulting you. You can’t change someone who believes their own lies.
To: simpson96
If Trump had bullied his way into the movie they could have edited him out in the Final Cut of the film.

Most likely a Soros-paid Stooge.

Illegals pouring over the border. A senile president. Inflation wiping us out. And a leading R presidential candidate is chiming in on some 30 year old pissing match. Ok then.

“So I told my editor, ‘Leave Trump in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.’”
Isn’t that the oddest comment? Isn’t the whole move supposed to be “a moment for the audience”?

" Columbus said that those involved in the movie not only had to pay a fee to use the location,"He's an idiot.
Whenever a movie is shot, they always pay for location. Each time my building's facade was shot, I was paid. If tenants had to do something to their front windows, they were paid.

Yeah the “director” sounds like he’s just trying to placate Trump haters who are getting after him for having Trump in the movie.
To: simpson96
Sounds like someone is being blackmailed with their sordid sexual history into saying something against Trump.
Is someone into "pizza"? Hmmmmmm?

The sequel to Gremlins, cowritten by Columbus years before Home Alone 2, features a protagonist based on Trump.
