here are 10 reasons why it is so good and some fun facts about home alone.
1. it inspires kids to be brave like kevin, and to be able to save themselves if the bad guys attack. you can learn how to use everyday toys and objects to make the most simple yet complex rube goldberg-style trap so that robbers can't attack them. well, it at least made kids think they would be able to be prepared for a invasion-type situation and that they can outsmart all the burglars of the world. seriously why do i not have firecrackers in my kitchen?!
2. john hughes (!!!!!!!!!!!!) wrote the movie, and the music is done by john williams. (!!!)
3. macaulay culkin was a really good convincing child actor until he became weird. I MEAN WEIRD.
4. the picture of the girl that kevin finds in buzz's room is actually a boy made to look like a girl. they didnt want to offend anyone so they did some editing magic. "buzz, your girlfriend! woof!"
5. it's got ton of production quality stuff! did you know that the movie in the movie (movieception) "angels with filthy souls" and "angels with filthier souls" from the second home alone are both FAKE, made for the movie, films. somebody give them an oscar now! also the talkboy device kevin uses, was a prop, but due to high demand it was an actual product for a little while.
6. it is QUOTABLE. "keep the change ya filthy animal", "i don't know how to pack a suit case, i've never done this in my entire life!" "how am i supposed to shave in france?! GROW A GOATEE." and of course the very long :" I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices; including inbetween my toes and in my belly button, which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape."
7. you must get all the essentials. milk, eggs, and fabric softener. and an american dental association approved toothbrush.
8. fuller is kevin mcallisters real life brother. just thought you should know.
8. never let a teen girl count heads for a large family gathering. you will lose a person and it will not make you feel better if someone else forgot their reading glasses.
9. no calling cards. wet bandits? NO. sticky bandits. NO. just don't become a burglar, okay?
10. it teaches you that it is a good idea to keep string, cardboard cutouts, and music around your house. those jonas brother cutouts you've been concealing in your closet might come in handy if you need to throw a fake holiday party.. and don't keep your christmas lights on a timer.
well that's all for now. don't let tarantulas loose, keep away from creeps that our burglars, and the creepy old guy down the street just might be your friend.
love, sena.
