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. Divorce is generally not a good thing, but in this case, I can't help but think he'd be better off. So yeah....... called it. I think, like in Big Brother, they must be told to do certain things to change how the game goes. For example, certain contestants swear they won't tell anyone they have an idol, and then before the day is over they've already blabbed about it to...whoever. I can't imagine over ALL the seasons that not a one kept it a secret after saying they would. In the earliest seasons of Survivor I do think they struggled with food. That one girl got SUPER thin (some blonde girl) and it was a huge controversy, I think, and I think that's when they started adding more auctions and food reward challenges and such. As for doing what you said regarding rainwater and such - I think they're just not very creative or willing to put in the effort. At one point I remember Jeff saying they get sent to areas where a lot of items are edible - roots and such, and I believe they receive some sort of training before going out there, but nobody puts it to use. I came looking for this question. They mention them briefly, but you never see them. I assumed they were older, but there's nothing that proves one way or the other. I can't imagine they were THAT much older if they were, though, and assume they had to split them up when they removed her (them?) from her father's house, due to the size of Grandma's house or something. But still, you'd think later on when she was all messed up that maybe she could have considered that they were people she could turn to, because they, especially, could understand her issues. Were they at the wedding? The funeral? People have that theory that Forrest isn't really the father, but if he really wasn't, she easily could've given little Forrest to one of her sisters, right? This in and of itself, should prove that he is the father, because, even though it seemed she had written him off, she obviously wanted little Forrest with his father over other family. Anyway, probably overthinking it, but hey, why not? Drag queen style? Hahaha! No clue. I assumed it was due to pronunciations from whatever language the name comes from, but I don't know. I watch with the captions on and I still always think of him as "Yam Yam" with a Y sound. :)
