8 Things I Like and 8 Things Hate about Macaulay Culkin

 

First, things I hate about Mac:

1.My Girl.  Actually this should be counted twice, since it has two things that get me running from the theater: "Heterosexual romance is the meaning of life" and movies about dying children. 

2. The Good Son. Homicidal preteen.  It's not nurture, it's nature.  Plus incest and preteen hetero-romance.

3. His cringy relationship with Michael Jackson. Although he said later that there was no inappropriate behavior, it's still cringy.

4. Party Monster: Guy leading a decadent gay "lifestyle" gets saved by the Love of a Woman, but backslides and turns gay again.  

5. American Horror Story: gay hustler spends all of his time buddying up to women and having sex with women.

6. He's got extra-femme mannerisms, so everyone thinks that he's gay, but he's actually straight.

7. He almost never shows off his physique on screen, or even on his Instagram page.

8. Some of his comments about girlfriend Brenda Song and their child have been criticized as racist: "You know how I can tell she's Asian?  The shape of her eyes!" 

Things that I like:

1. Home Alone, of course.

2. Saved, about a "gay conversion" camp, although it's actually a heterosexual romance, with the gay characters just there to justify the "gay conversion" angle.

3. His role in The Righteous Gemstones as Harmon, a special needs adult who was abandoned by his father in a shopping mall --at Christmas.  

4. Although Mac appeared in only two scenes and never interacted with Tony Cavalero's Keefe, they became friends. 

5. I met him once.  He seemed nice.

6. He looks good in a winter parka

7. He does a Bunny Ears podcast, parodying celebrity gossip podcasts.

8. His middle name is "Macaulay Culkin"
