The Home Alone poster in the theater room is a nice touch.
Just watched it for this year. I'm 40-some years old and will keep watching it every year. On a side note, I've seen it a gazillion times and JUST realized that Jon got a sweater that's too big for him, just like a kid would, with plans that he'll "grow into it." My favorite parts are when the "boys" say they're worried about Binky saving Christmas, and then them arguing about it being Christmas morning so they should be allowed to open their gifts at 1:30am.
Yeah, I see others. But those are out and about. Sitting in a classroom is kind of different story. I kind of wish I knew the writers' thoughts on this. Too much room for speculation.
Not sure about this one. Why would Wendy convince him he had imagined it when she specifically said, "I tried to tell you so many times..."
So weird. I get that you'd keep it from a 12/13 year-old girl, but don't understand why it wasn't brought up when she was an adult. Or maybe Wendy didn't want to bother when she realized Peter had completely forgotten.
I figured they didn't have the proper sized battery and, like the time machine rebuild to get Marty back to 1885, they had to make do with what was available in 1955.
I assumed this was a "homeroom" class of sorts. Many were done alphabetically, so one room might have all As and Bs, the next Cs, Ds, Es, etc.
BUT.....I'm pretty sure it's implied these were birthday presents. ....So one was her big gift, and the other was his. The mother's talking at the end, though, how if the deal hadn't fallen through she was planning on buying Ferris a car, too. So he gets both things. Yep. He's the favorite.
I was under the impression it was somehow in his bed. Not that it was the one from the game.
I honestly think it's more for the benefit of the audience. We're looking at a grown man. We need something to remind us that he's just a kid, so acting goofier and a bit younger than what we expect helps us remember that he's 12, not 30, or whatever age he's physically supposed to be.
Robin Williams does something similar in Hook. As soon as he becomes "Pan" he starts talking in somewhat of a "baby" voice. I think this is so we remember that he's shifted to "Pan", boy who doesn't want to grow up, from the grumpy, old man the audience has been seeing since the start of the film.
Wilson: The Party Years
Now free from the man who held him captive, Wilson ventures out on his own to see what the world, away from that sh..hole island, holds for him. When he washes up on the beach of a Caribbean island, Wilson learns all of what life has to offer.
So watch it!
There's a few songs, but not many in that one, I don't think. And the only one I can think off he bat you can easily skip and you won't miss anything. Seriously, the story isn't bad, and I think you'll have a few laughs. It's not really what I'd consider a musical at all.
Maybe give Bright Eyes a try.
Heidi is kind of Christmas-y.
I think I actually read somewhere that that was an editing mistake. They had another song in mind and for some reason the ZZ Top song was accidentally used instead. And, no, I can't remember what song was really intended for that scene.
Old, old post, but I'm watching this now and one of the best moments for me is when Nealy is complaining and asking why Francie is late, and she presents the pie. It's a crappy little pie. Francie could've eaten the whole thing and he'd be none the wiser, but she saves it so they can share it and he's a typical abrasive little brother, but she looks down at it to show him her "treasure" and they share a quick look before he continues being an annoying little brother. Then he says, "but let's eat the pie" grabs a huge hunk, and rather than taking a bite out of it like one expects, he hands it to Francie before taking his piece. True sibling camaraderie.
The amount was supposed to be for a down payment, though, wasn't it? A down payment isn't the full amount...
Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I kind of do remember the grocery store having sales on certain candy bars once in awhile that were 3/$1. That was pretty sweet.
I kind of enjoyed it, but I was filing paperwork while watching it. But yeah, their Christian "joke" at the Christmas store kind of soured it for me. I get not all people celebrate Christmas for Christian reasons, and with Eddie being in it didn't expect it to be G-rated or anything, but thought it was pretty crummy they threw that in.
