Wow. Yes, #girlpower and huge S/O to women stacking $$$$ through continuing their father’s v savvy exploitation and oppression of their subjects. Really very inspiring. Lemme just add this to my #goals.

She also shared this photo with the dictators daughter, who acquired her wealth while the rest of the country lives on $2 a day. I usually really like Nicki, but this is a major bummer.

Attractive?

Exactly! People are making such a big deal about this.

He looks like he smells like cigarettes and old spice.

And he calls himself

Particularly fun is the one from the person asking where the parents “is” and accusing them of not doing their job. Perhaps they are commenting on crappy news sites?

That scene was supposed to set up the entire premise, and it completely failed to display any logic whatsoever. A family of picky eaters orders a dozen pies with only one plain? One kid in the family is bullied by everyone else, and the second he fights back, they all turn on him like hyenas? Cops randomly stop by and…

OR cellphones. Just a few years later and this owuld never have happened because you know that rich fuckers like the MCallisters would have had cellphones.

I watched it with my son last year and it freaked him the hell out that Kevin was forgotten. He was like “Would you ever leave me home alone?” and for months afterwards when I was like “Ok, come on, let’s go get out of here” he’d start freaking out and be like “Don’t leave me home alone!” I should have focused more on…

Right?! I remember thinking how amazing (at the time) that house was as a kid...Plus they all went to Paris for Xmas. I don’t remember but they probably all got presents too.

I think ALL of the McCallister were incredibly spoiled in different ways (seriously those parents sucked) but my friends and I had a funny conversation once where I said Kevin seems like some sort of sociopath or psychopath, since he so easily lies to so many people, plus instead of involving police (or the neighbor…

The thing is, they weren’t necessary portrayed as wealthy. Hollywood just has a tendency to use these kinds of settings to portray “normal” middle class families. Everyone seems to have homes with massive rooms, gargantuan high-ceilinged basements, huge kitchens, etc.

The McCallister parents sucked! I can’t believe there wasn’t a single line of dialogue along the lines of, “Can you stop being an ungrateful brat for one minute and realize you’re going to Paris tomorrow morning?”, even though it was the bloated early-’90s.

They were definitely nonchalant about such a trip. But if the uncle they were going to visit was anything like Uncle Frank, I'd be unenthusiastic too.

You’re right, I forgot the technicality of who in the family bought the tickets — but they lived in a world where that was normal — no one even seemed excited to be able to go to Paris, just snotty and entitled.

10 pizzas for 15 people.

I’m so glad I am not the only person who was taken aback by this. I vividly remember being shocked as a kid hahah like that was my only takeaway from the movies.

And JUST pizza. Like, no hoagies or salads or fries or anything else.

how do they portray wealth now?
