Also, it really bugged me that the Mom (who practically gave away all her worldly possessions to the extremely greedy old people to get an earlier flight, AND had to ride with John Candy and The Kenosha Kickers on what appeared to be an insufferable road trip ) only managed to arrive 5-10 minutes before the rest of the family who traveled according to plan!! I would have been pissed if I were her!



I doubt Mom is ridiculously bummed about losing the Jewelry since the McAlisters are ridiculously fricking loaded and she's likely got millions in jewelry back at her home.

Let's talk about Kevin's ability to work a remote. These are not blue rays, dvd's, or dvr's. His incredible ability to ffw stop and play exactly on cue using a VHS is incredible. I dont know how many of you have dealt with VHS's before, but its impossible to do. Hell I could barely rewind the thing all the way, let alone jump to specific scenes in an instant. Also, how loud and realistic were those TV's. I mean in HA1 the pizza kid and marv and harry are outside when they hear the tape, which granted would dissipate the sound to make it seem live, but not likely. In HA2 they are in the next room with the door open! I've never ever walked by a TV in another room and said to myself, "Thats real live people in there talking."

BTW i frickin love these movies

Recent development: I just remembered the scene in HA2 when Harry and Marv are casing old man Duncan's Toy Chest. For one there are hundreds of people in there, and nobody notices to homeless looking dudes hanging out in there with a bunch of kids and their moms. Also when they get inside the little houses to hide. Why didnt they get in the same house? The house that Harry occupied was clearly big enough to house both of them. Plus it would eliminate the need to stick their heads out the damn windows to talk to each other! Oh and nobody seems to notice that they are not Christmas statues, like frickin Santa's elves or something when they pause to let people pass by. Im pretty sure I would notice those two in the middle of a winter wonderland toy store. I also find it hard to believe that old man Duncan owns what looks to be about 20,000sf of Manhattan real estate on 5th avenue, and runs the place like a mom and pop joint from Gary, Indiana. To own that joint Duncan would need to be worth a few 100mil at least. I doubt he;d be working the register too.
