So watch it! There's a few songs, but not many in that one, I don't think. And the only one I can think off he bat you can easily skip and you won't miss anything. Seriously, the story isn't bad, and I think you'll have a few laughs. It's not really what I'd consider a musical at all. Maybe give Bright Eyes a try. Heidi is kind of Christmas-y. I think I actually read somewhere that that was an editing mistake. They had another song in mind and for some reason the ZZ Top song was accidentally used instead. And, no, I can't remember what song was really intended for that scene. Old, old post, but I'm watching this now and one of the best moments for me is when Nealy is complaining and asking why Francie is late, and she presents the pie. It's a crappy little pie. Francie could've eaten the whole thing and he'd be none the wiser, but she saves it so they can share it and he's a typical abrasive little brother, but she looks down at it to show him her "treasure" and they share a quick look before he continues being an annoying little brother. Then he says, "but let's eat the pie" grabs a huge hunk, and rather than taking a bite out of it like one expects, he hands it to Francie before taking his piece. True sibling camaraderie. The amount was supposed to be for a down payment, though, wasn't it? A down payment isn't the full amount... Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I kind of do remember the grocery store having sales on certain candy bars once in awhile that were 3/$1. That was pretty sweet. I kind of enjoyed it, but I was filing paperwork while watching it. But yeah, their Christian "joke" at the Christmas store kind of soured it for me. I get not all people celebrate Christmas for Christian reasons, and with Eddie being in it didn't expect it to be G-rated or anything, but thought it was pretty crummy they threw that in. I'm about Macauley's age, but couldn't remember offhand what candy cost was when I was kid, so I just threw out what I thought was a "cheapie" amount I know, old post, but I just caught this scene and it's by far the crappiest scene in a movie ever. At one point I thought the dog was TRYING to get the people run over. He was smart enough to move. They were dumb enough to run after him. The lady too distracted by her giftwrapping and the cop stuffing his face with a donut are great details in that scene. Parents always have the "golden child" that seems untouchable, no matter what he does, and the one they blame for stuff, even if not responsible. We see this in Home Alone 2 as well. They buy into Buzz's BS when he "apologizes" when it's clearly and get mad when Kevin speaks the truth. I wonder if with Brandon they were really trolling us. I mean, he lost the easiest friggen challenge I think I've seen on Survivor with that matching and find the combo thing. I swear, an 8yo could've done it. God? Since it's based on a true story? Heck no! It's awesome. I didn't post that, but I'm in my 40s and think people live waaaaaay too long. What about Richard Paul Evans? Don't most Treehouse of Horror stories just retell other freaky/scary stories from a Simpsons point of view? It's kind of their thing. "The Shinning" (Yes, it's spelled wrong, that's how they pronunce it as a joke), "The Raven", that one with the gremlin on the side of the bus, and numerous others. Go watch the family guy version, then go back to the movie with a new view. LOL.
