Joe Pesci makes a big deal about pizza at the start of Home Alone. It’s a throwaway scene so you don’t even remember it until you know the code, then it sticks out. And in Ferris Bueller, after Jeffrey Jones mistakes that girl for Ferris and says her ass is his (sexualizing an underage girl), it cuts to a close up of a slice of pizza on the counter. Again, nothing anyone would notice unless they know the code.
crikey, they sure do love to talk about pizza in Home Alone. Ordering pizza the night before a huge trip with a huge number of people would be normal (no time to cook and clean up,) but talking about it so much really isn't.
I love the movie otherwise, but yes, you point out how this stuff is right there being normalized right in front of everyone.
So John Hughes is a pig. Not surprising I guess. McCauley Culkin is a hot mess.
