Home Alone didn't age well

  • Wasn't Maccaulay Culkin part of the huge procession of child actors/actresses that were sɛҳuąƖly abused, traumatized and thus caused to develop a split personality, etc.? MK Ultra.

    I've learned a lot about Hollywood over the years, and I know one thing for sure: I'd never want to be a *child* actor.

    Anyhow, I just noticed that in the movie, the boy makes a big fuss that he can only eat ONE kind of pizza: CHEESE PIZZA. (See: Pizzagate).

    Cheese pizza was their codeword for pre-pubescent girls.

    It's not even realistic, relatable or believable that the boy can't handle sausage or pepperoni. That's like having a child character who refuses to eat peanut butter & jelly; he will only eat plain bread. What the heck? 
    There are literally two dozen toppings that can go on pizza (my kids eat pretty much all of them). Yes, I know, many kids are picky these days. And some smaller, lower-end pizza joints don't offer as many toppings.

    But I'm pretty sure all those 1-topping pizzas like sausage or pepperoni are meant to be "for the picky kids".

    Want to say "thank you"?

  • Very sad.  Hollywood have been abusing children from its unholy start. 

    The home boy grew up Irish Catholic.  He later had a rock band called “underground pizza”.

  • What's wrong with liking cheese pizza? It's not that unusual for a kid to be that picky. My daughter hates cheese, doesn't like sauces on anything and only eats toast that's been burnt. Kids are weird.

    There's nothing wrong with liking cheese pizza, but my career has been in the dairy industry so I have a bias.  But there are A LOT of tasty toppings that compliment the cheese, including many that can be legitimately eaten on Fridays.

    However, in my humble opinion there is something wrong with allowing kids to be picky eaters.  When I grew up (born in 1951) one ate what was put on their plate, PERIOD.  It wasn't a matter of eating what's served or else go hungry, it was "You will not leave the table until you finish what's on your plate!"

  • Pizza is just pizza.  Pizza usually has cheese unless you order tomato pie.

    Most children today are spoiled and many live on pizza at school  and home.

    Not true. Some people have used burnt toast as a substitute for activated charcoal.

  • I was picky and used to only like cheese pizza. Pepperoni was good too, but most of the time I wanted cheese only. These days some people have a red meat allergy, and can't tolerate the common sausage and pepperoni toppings.

    In my humble (born 1946) opinion there's something much worse than picky-eater kids, and that's parents who ask their children what they would like to eat. I cringe when I hear that.

    It's always got to turn into some sort of deconstruction around here to imply that others are too liberal or bad parents or whatever...

    My point being that kids have weird preferences. Therefore, preferring cheese pizza, such as in Home Alone, may have no deeper reasoning behind it than that.

    Actually, no. This was written into a movie script. Everything is done for a reason.

    YOUR kids can "just be picky eaters". They're just living their lives. They don't have 50 million eyeballs on them.

    When you combine the cheese pizza obsession (which was prominently featured in BOTH movies, BTW) with existing knowledge (pizzagate, the fact that the actor later had a rock band called “underground pizza”), it's difficult to write it off as a coincidence. More like a (((cohencidence))).

    I know that this particular child actor was neck-deep in the evils of Hollywood, probably being abused himself by various pedophiles. So yeah, I'm going to look for and read all kinds of stuff into otherwise "innocent" facts such as the prominent obsession with "cheese pizza" in this child actor's movies.

    Writing stuff off as, "Oh, it was probably done innocently" is the dumbest mistake one can make, at least nowadays. It's up there with, "Oh, the government isn't malicious, they're just incompetent!". 

    I'm sure divorce "happened" -- rarely -- in the 1950's too. But WAY TOO MANY movies of that time period featured divorce, at a time when it was extremely rare in real life. Likewise, I'm sure a small % of parents legitimately can't have children, or only have 1 or 2. But EVERY MOVIE portrays couples in this category. That isn't done by accident. It is done to guide our thinking, to program us, brainwash us, and basically steer the culture in a given direction.

  • My post was not directed at you, DL. It was a response to Moneil.

    It never occurred to be that Home Alone is a movie until I read Matthew’s second post.
    One of our children was a picky eater, but we always considered that he was just not hungry enough. So it was either plough through it now or eat it with “relish” later. That was the choice available to him.

    We had a visit from a relative, and it was Darling, what would you like to eat? do you want peanut butter or vegemite? Do you want butter or margarine? Do you want white bread or brown bread. At the table or in front of the TV? These things don’t happen in big families. People give their children terrible dilemmas to sort out and they turn out neurotic. Darling, now an adult, is not doing well to this day.

  • That's called aging.
