I think Scott put him in his place, pretty much, throughout the movie. Like joking that he got his sweaters from the circus, or that his head came to a point, or that he was a living joke as a psychiatrist, or that he and Laura were wrong to take away visitation rights from Scott to see Charlie, or that he started looking like the delusional idiot when Bernard showed up on Christmas Eve. I mean, the guy was a living running gag all through the film.
Another joke they had in there was what a bunch of fakes his co-workers were in ordering all this "healthy" green stuff, when in fact, chances are they were putting on a show for each other and ate all sorts of unhealthy things at home when their co-workers couldn't see.
It goes way beyond her bad sense of fashion. They divorced because Laura is a moron who gets worked up over the littlest thing, and Scott was too much of a workaholic to be a good dad (at least before he turned into Santa). The fact that she chooses a loser like Neil to replace Scott just shows what happens when your taste in men goes downhill after a divorce. Frankly, I'm surprised Neil wasn't the one wearing the skirts in the house, because Laura sure as hell wouldn't.
It's called "universal translators" implanted into people's heads in the future. Get it?
Also, as I had to explain on the "Clash of the Titans" page, most audience viewers are intelligent enough to know that the characters are probably not speaking 21st century English, and the actors merely are because the show/movie was made for English-speaking audiences. What part of this is so confusing to you?
Look, first of all, this was a film designed for English-speakers to watch, not ancient Greeks. Second, most people understand that when they're watching ancient people speak English, they use their imaginations and realize that the characters are speaking ancient Greek, but we hear English so we know what they're saying to each other.
It's a common understanding more intelligent movie audience members have when watching a film where it's pretty obvious the characters wouldn't speak English for real, but the actors are doing it for clarity.
My mom only watches the series because she likes the OTHER characters and how they solve the mystery. She never liked Dr. Brennan.
Gee, sounds like your average America-hating liberal "intellectual."
I had the same problem as a kid; this film is very boring, save for a few scenes.
The thing is, all you get to choose in relation to the original ME games "universe state," is what gender Shepard was, that's it. So you have no idea how things turned out based on the previous games.
It's true. I didn't watch the commercials at all, and went in having no idea what would happen. The experience has been awesome, and I've played the game through at least 5 or 6 times now since it came out in '17.
Are you kidding? You can make your OWN Ryder twin black, never mind having NPC's that are black! And for the record, one of your companions, Liam, is a black Brit, so your curiosity should be satisfied.
He's too young for that.
There are actually some kids out there who have over-active bladders, or their bladder took longer to grow with their bodies as they matured. Fuller might be one of those kids. Plus, it was a gag they carried over to this film from the last movie.
Here's some fun trivia: the actor who played Fuller is actually Macaulay Culkin's real life little brother.
Omg! I totally never knew that!
Oh you totally stole that idea from the "Vacation" movies!
That would actually make sense in a place like the Midwest. Sadly, we'll never know.
Judging by his looks and demeanor, we can either assume he inherited the money and just works a job to keep himself busy, or he owns a very successful business of some kind.
That's the only theory I can offer, considering they never fleshed out the dad much in the story. Peter McCallister was pretty much your average "cookie-cutter" dad, and the actor wasn't very good with the part either. He barely showed any emotions, had very few lines, and didn't get very heavily involved with his family beyond letting the wife do everything.
I always wondered about that.
The kind of dogs he had didn't bother me as much as a kid, but after having malamutes and huskies as pets later on in my child/teen-hood, I can tell you that Yukon's dogs are the LAST kind of breeds you'd want to pull a sled. However, since it's a cartoon and the animators probably chose those dog breeds as a gag, they can get away with his rather small and "diverse" sled team.
