re: Let's Overanalyze "Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2"

Considering he got paid $8 million for HA2 before he even hit puberty, I would assume Mr. Culkin's agent wouldn't have been stupid enough to leave that out of his contract.

I know this is after Christmas, but I just saw this video of the Honest Trailers people doing Honest Action - Home Alone:

Laughed my arse off at the Marv/bricks part

Did anyone notice it looked like the McCallister's had a station wagon in the garage? You telling me with the kind of bank they had and they drive a station wagon...WTF

Stations wagons weren't a more common mode of transportation, even among the upper class, in 1990 American society?

most interesting character of Home Alone 1=Jimmy. he is given the task of apprehending Kevin after the little shite jacks a toothbrush from his store.

he really is the all american kid. nicely combed hair, well dressesd, and sweeping up the store like a champ. too bad he can't run down a 9 year old. whats worse is he forces the elderly cop to run down Kevin on the frozen lake.

Jimmy probably went on to raise a perfect family and get a well paying job. not being able to catch McCallister would probably be his only regret.

The way he shouts "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!! Shoplifter!!!!" is still odd to me after 26 years and I chuckle every time.

Introduced my 3 year old to these movies. She loves them.

Seriously though, if you pay attention, both of these moves are filled with the worst people on the face of Planet Earth. In HA, outside of Kevin, Old Man Marley, and John Candy, every single character in that movie is a horrible human being.
All of Kevins siblings are terrible. His Uncle and Aunt. His parents. Mom calls the police station? Cops are terrible. The Pizza delivery driver that keeps running over their statue? Terrible. The bitch in the checkout line. The people that own the store that Kevin steals the toothbrush from? How dare he ask a question about a hygiene product. Even that shitty Santa is a terrible human. A goddamned 8 year old just came up alone and told you he wants his family back, and you're just like "Let me give you a Tic Tac."

Starting to think that you never had anything written about these movies and you just started this thread to let other posters write it for you.

I got up to about 7 pages of scattered notes, but was being one upped at every turn by posters (including myself explaining things on my notes) to where it almost seemed like a moot point of analyzing this shite for 20 pages.

If Kevin had your attitude, Harry would have murdered him on day 1.
