Please be advised that the following content may contain spoilers for the following movie(s):

  • Home Alone

How was Buzz able to eat a whole cheese pizza in a minute and a half? Is he literally the biggest most disgusting slob in the world or is this a writing error?

How were they able to get through security in such a short time especially for an international flight during one of the busiest travel times of the year? I know it was pre 9/11 but I wouldn’t think they’d have enough time.

Did airlines actually use real silverware pre 9/11?

Why would Kate not just rent a car from Dallas to drive home instead of getting on a flight back
to the general direction of Paris to Scranton (home of soon to be President Joe Biden @Omeletpants)

These asshole polka guys really spend 50 weeks a year on the road away from their families? They don’t do this because they love polka. No one loves polka. Literally. No one. They’re doing this because they don’t want to be with their families. Way to get into the Christmas spirit, John Hughes!

Why would Kevin eat macaroni when he knew the Wet Bandits were coming over? He had an hour since he left the church and he had to booby trap the whole house. Surely he would have been watching the clock the whole time. What an arrogant little CHIT he was thinking he’d have time for dinner after all that. Speaking of which, why would Marv and Harry show up right at nine? These guys are criminals which means they’re not likely to follow any sort of rules or structure. Why would they show up at 9 sharp? Don’t criminals typically like to live on the edge? Also I love how earlier in the movie they made sure to loudly announce their intentions on Kevin’s front lawn so that he knew when they were coming. Are you f***ing kidding me? My head hurts

The tarantula just happened to be on the steps when Marv has Kevin by the ankle. Are you f***ing kidding me? They literally live in a huge ass mansion and the eight legged one happens to be right there in his reach.

Why, after going through all that pain and suffering would Marv think it’s smart to go through an open window. You’d think somewhere in his head he’d be thinking “hmm, the boy obviously doesn’t want us to enter the dwelling. That wide ass open window just might be a trap”. On that note, why are they so insistent on getting into THAT house. Certainly there’s a bigger house in Kenilworth or wherever that they could have targeted. Just think, if Harry wasn’t so stubborn they wouldn’t be in
jail
right now.

Why would Kevin go into the basement of the neighbor’s house? This makes no sense at all and in fact, him breaking into that house makes him no better than the Wet Bandits.

I’m going to watch the 2nd one soon. Honestly I can’t see that one being any worse unless like Donald Trump is in it or something

Remember when tv didn't have a flat screen but had a flat top you could put your tv dinner on?
I are many tv dinners off the flat top of my curved screen tv.

Kevin grows up to become the jigsaw killer.
He has a knack for making torture devices, he suffered pretty severe trauma being hunted by robbers while his family repeatedly abandoned him.
It seems likely that decades later a terminal illness would kick him back in to kill mode.
