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.
