Last night miraculously, I was able to convince the Husband to watch Home Alone with me. He fell asleep pretty quickly but boy oh boy I was in heaven. The film is 21 years old which makes me sad. I've seen it at least a dozen times but usually just as background noise. It is fantastic. But as I was watching it last night I realised that I, alas, have aged the last 21 years. Yes, shocking. So here is a bit of 10 year old Tova vs. 30 year old Tova.
The House:
10 year old me: Holy crap that house is huge!
30 year old me: Holy crap that house is huge! But if it were my house I would have decorated it differently and what is up with the green wallpaper and how on earth do they afford that house with all those kids and then they fly to Paris with 15 people, 4 of them in First Class! I wish I was rich.
Treatment of Kevin:
10 year old me: Oh man, everyone's so mean to him. I love cheese pizza, too.
30 year old me: I love cheese pizza, too.
The Plane Ride to Paris:
10 year old me: That is so unfair that the kids have to fly economy while the parents live it up in first.
30 year old me: Why that's, that's BRILLIANT!
Kevin's Mom:
10 year old me: She's pretty but she was sooo mean until the end. Then's she's cool.
30 year old me: I love Catherine O'Hara. She rocks. And she's dressed really well. And how on earth do they afford that house AAAND she has a Rolex?! I like her hair colour. I want to watch Best in Show again. I wonder if she's had any work done recently. I'll Google her tomorrow.
Kevin talking to Santa:
10 year old me: Cheap jerk gave him Tic Tacs.
30 year old me: Dude, some kid just told you he wants his family back for Christmas and you drive off? Call CPS you moron!
Kevin's last meal of Mac and Cheese before the bad guys come:
10 year old me: Mac and Cheese?! And you're just going to leave it there? Not even have a bite?!
30 year old me: Mac and Cheese?! And you're just going to leave it there? Not even have a bite?!
The Grande Finale with the Bad Guys:
10 year old me: Oh man this is hilarious! Falling on ice, BB gun to the crotch, paint can to the face, nail through the foot? Cinema gold! AHAHAHAHA!
30 year old me: Wow, that fall on ice really looked painful. I'd go to the doctor like immediately.
Oh did I have fun last night. I should have taken notes because there is so much more to discuss. It is interesting to see that my taste in food has not changed... at all.
I can't wait til next week when they show Home Alone 2. Tim Curry is in it. Tim Curry! Nuff said.
