Was the house in ‘home alone’ a bit much?

I think they were a family of 6. Buzz and Big Pete from the show Pete and Pete were Kevin’s older brothers. The brunette girl who was arguing with Big Pete upstairs was Kevin’s older sister. They show a picture of all of them together sometime during the movie. Everyone else was a cousin.

They’re a wealthy family which is why Marv and Harry targeted that block in the first place.

The house was huge. It represented America, rich and strong. Kevin was a real American, Anglo Saxon and resourceful. The bandits were a Jew and a guinea, representing the swarthy hordes who wanted to invade and steal America’s wealth that the Anglo Saxon had worked hard to build.

John Hughes was a closet member of the Know Nothings and obviously read Pat Buchanan.

I knew there was a reason I like that movie.

On a side note, the second one is hilariously violent. We watched both last Christmas and I was surprised. In the first one, the boobie traps are funny, inventive and cartoonish. In number two, every one would have ended in a fatality. He's literally hitting them in the head with bricks from 30 feet above.

I laugh at them because they're all the same.

Every John Hughes movie has a giant house in the Chicago suburbs.

I always felt they were a big Catholic family...But good observation, it's the sort of stuff I like to observe.

There's a YouTube video about that evaluating what Marv and Harry's injuries would have been. They would have each died like 19 times between them in the second alone

As if Americans would travel with kids to Paris. Euro Disney isn't a draw and what the fuck is a kid going to get out of it?
Paris Disneyland is the most visited tourist destination in Europe though.

Last year alone the theme park, which is currently celebrating its twentieth anniversary, welcomed a record 15.5 million visitors compared to 8.4 million for Paris’ Louvre museum and 6.6 million for the Eiffel Tower.
