Viewing Thoughts: It's time for that John Hughes classic, Home Alone. This is the movie where blind coincidence rules. One of the tickets disappears, Kevin is the only one in the attic, random neighbor kid gets mistaken for Kevin, etc. Seriously, we're talking the most perfect lack of entropy every so that things happen exactly so Kevin gets lost. This brings me to my main problem with this movie. Every force in the universe is aligned against Kevin once it aligns for him. Apparently Kevin becomes Jean Val Jean once he steals a freaking tooth burch. What the hell? He's a kid and it's a two buck tooth brush.
All that said, Kevin functions pretty good for himself. It helps his family is loaded. I doubt I would have functioned nearly as well. If it would have progressed a little further, I could have seen Kevin starting his own little crime syndicate out of that house using just video recordings of one movie. Then it leads into Kevin fending off Michael Jackson.
So, the ending. Kevin connects with random scary guy with the jerkwad son. Then he hastily put together a house of traps that do a great job on the idiot bandits. Can I just say that I wish I was this organized ever that I could do this? Kevin is going into home security when he grows up. Anyway, random chance works for Kevin again because scary old guy stumbles in a pwns the bandits. Mom gets home, everyone is happy. Well, except for the bandits but that's a given.
Noted Commercials: I love this Christmas Mac vs PC. I love the old wooden puppet Christmas specials. The song is kind of catchy and I really got to say, I would so watch a Mac Vs PC Christmas special. Wouldn't you? We would have epic battles, Vista Jokes, and in the end, Santa reveals he runs Linux.
Late Christmas Ideas: I could do with a vacation or something. I mean, I'm already Home Alone so it all works out.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: So, I got to say that I have observed one major thing today: There are not that many Christmas commercials, or at least not any really good ones. When I was a kid, we were pretty much infested with them and now, well, we get freaking commercials for Razors. Yeah, not very awesome. Not even a sentimental McDonald's commercial. I wish I would have went into marketing. Then at least we would have Christmas commercials over flowing with fake sentimentality.
