It’s been an interesting time the last few months for movies at the box office, but so far none have flopped as ridiculously badly as Cats. The Universal movie based on the hit Broadway musical of the same name has so far only made $16 million worldwide, and that is on a budget of $100 million not including marketing. Obviously Universal has placed themselves in a tricky situation when it comes to this film, as it seems to be nearly universally hated by critics and audiences alike.

One of the biggest surprise novelties when it comes to the Home Alone sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, is the inclusion of a cameo from United States President Donald Trump. Of course, the movie was filmed well before Donald Trump was affiliated with politics like he is today, but that hasn’t stopped people from targeting his role in the movie. In fact, one Canadian broadcaster cut the clip out completely by the time the film aired on CBC. Apparently, however, the broadcaster denies having a political reason for removing Donald Trump’s cameo. The broadcaster recently responded to…
