Lionel Messi ‘game’ breaks MLS record for Columbus Crew despite Argentine failing to score in 1-0 win for Inter Miami | Football News

Published by Webster

In a game where the Argentine maestro failed to find the net, a spectacular diving header from Benjamin Cremaschi secured the win for Inter Miami. The Herons were up against Columbus Crew in the MLS on Sunday, and even thought the scoreline did not feature Lionel Messi, the player did play a huge role in breaking an MLS record. Prior to the game on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field, Lower.com Field was the go to venue for home games for Columbus. However, Lionel Messi featuring for their opponents and the likeliness that the game will be one that brings in lots of supporters made Columbus shift their home ground to Huntington Bank Field on Sunday. The venue is home to NFL side Cleveland Browns, and is located in Ohio, 145 miles away from Columbus’ home venue for every other game MLS fixture this campaign. The fans that poured in to witness the game, and Lionel Messi in particular, broke the club record for Columbus for most fans in attendance for a home game ever in …

How Chris Columbus’ Awkward Encounter With Chevy Chase Paved The Way For A Holiday Classic

How Chris Columbus’ Awkward Encounter With Chevy Chase Paved The Way For A Holiday Classic

Published by Webster

Chris Columbus Awkward Meeting(Photo Credit –Instagram) When it comes to Christmas flicks, Home Alone is a chef-d’oeuvre. Watching Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) outmaneuver the bumbling Wet Bandits is a holiday tradition. But what if this beloved film nearly never happened? Believe it or not, Home Alone exists because of an awkward, borderline bizarre meeting. One that had nothing to do with Kevin, burglars, or booby traps—but everything to do with Chevy Chase. Back in the late 1980s, director Chris Columbus was in a rut. He needed a hit, and fast. Enter John Hughes, the legendary filmmaker behind Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Breakfast Club. Hughes handed Columbus a golden opportunity: directing National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Columbus was eager to take it on. That zeal, however, didn’t last long. The trouble started when he met the film’s star, Chase. The conversation was anything but smooth. Columbus later recalled to The Hollywood Reporter, “I’m asking him all these questions, and he was just dead and not interested and distracted.” Then, things got weirder. After nearly an …

Why Did Catherine O’Hara Disagree With Christopher Columbus’ Answer About McCallister’s Occupations?

Published by Parlour News

It appears that Catherine O’Hara has her own answer to the question that every Home Alone fan has– what did Kevin’s parents do to afford a huge mansion? They previously got the answer from the director, Christopher Columbus himself, but now, they also have one from the Schitt’s Creeks star! For the unversed, when Columbus appeared on The Hollywood Reporter’s Chatter Podcast in 2024, he shared that he and John Huges had a discussion about the same question, and they decided what the lead character’s parent’s occupations would be.  While mentioning the mannequins kept in the McCallister home, he shared that Kevin’s mom would be a “very successful fashion designer.” The titular character’s father, Peter, could have been a part of the advertising industry, according to the director, and having said that, he was not able to recall a specific job. Now, O’Hara shared her take on the same. While conversing with Entertainment Weekly to promote her advertisement for the Superbowl, she stated that she hated to “disagree with anything” that Columbus says, but she did with his answer …

Chris Columbus Addresses Cillian Murphy’s Voldemort Casting Rumors, Shares Thoughts on HBO’s Harry Potter Series: ‘There’s a Certain Restriction’

Published by Parlour News

Chris Columbus, director of the first two original Harry Potter movies, is sharing his thoughts about HBO’s new television take on J.K. Rowling’s magical classic. Columbus has also weighed in on the rumors surrounding the casting of Cillian Murphy as Lord Voldemort. While attending the Los Angeles premiere of Nosferatu, Columbus said to People that the new series represents a chance to explore themes he was never able to bring out in his earlier work. He told the outlet, “I think it’s a spectacular idea because there’s a certain restriction when you’re making a film. Our film was two hours and 40 minutes, and the second one was almost as long.” Reflecting on his experience in directing Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) and The Chamber of Secrets (2002), Columbus weighed in on the difficulty of compressing Rowling’s long novels into feature-length films. He embraced the series format, which can delve deeper into the nuances of the books. The director stated that having several episodes per book would allow creators to include plot points and scenes that had …

Chris Columbus famously stepped away from the director’s position on the hit 1989 holiday movie National Lampoon’s Christmas and was replaced by Jeremiah S. Chechik. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the filmmaker revealed that his “bizarre” meeting with the film’s lead Chevy Chase led to his decision to quit.  “I was signed on…and then I met Chevy Chase,” Columbus recalled. “Even given my situation at the time, where I desperately needed to make a film, I realized I couldn’t work with the guy,” he added.  The Home Alone director allegedly called John Hughes — who wrote Christmas Vacation — and revealed that he was not compatible with the actor to continue with the project. During his first meeting with the Caddystick star, the latter couldn’t remember that Columbus was directing the film.  “My first meeting with him, I sat down with him. It was just the two of us. He had to know I was directing the movie,” the Gremlins writer added. When he spoke about his vision and expectations from the film, …

Chris Columbus Reveals THIS Unforgettable Scene In Home Alone Was A Total Accident; DEETS

Published by Parlour News

Home Alone has given us multiple unforgettable moments from the movie but the one that stands out the most is the aftershave scene, in which the lead star, Macaulay Culkin, leaves his hands on his face, creating a cute moment, as he screams looking in the mirror. But you’d be surprised to know that the scene was not planned, as the film helmer Chris Columbus said it was a total “accident.”  During his appearance on The Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter podcast, Columbus stated that the hand placement was Culkin’s idea. He said, “The aftershave thing was in the script. Part of it was an accident.” The director states that Culkin was asked to put the aftershave on, then place his hand on his face, quickly remove them, and then scream. He stated that was the direction he gave him on the initial take and the actor held his hands there, adding, “For whatever reason, I don’t know.” Columbus shared that maybe Culkin was experiencing nervousness, adding that he did not move his hand placement from …
