Buzz says the garbage can of salt is where the shovel slayer keeps his victims. 'The salt turns the bodies into mummies.' So we're supposed to believe multiple bodies can fit in a garbage can?

They shrivel up.

We're supposed to believe that in a rich suburban neighborhood Kevin's parents wouldn't talk to him all the time....

He's their next door neighbor

Buzz is such a fucking butthole

No, for three reasons: A, it's just a story; two, Buzz isn't very smart; and D, it's a movie, where nothing happening on the screen is remotely real. Period.

Shovel Slayer confronts Kevin in the Church, and tells him he knows what people are saying about him.

Now the only way he would know, is if he can read lips, at night, at distance. Which would mean he would have had to have been watching Buzz's room at just the right time to see that. Or... in his torture dungeon under his house, his victims screamed it at him, as he slowly dismembered them.

He murdered the McCallisters after they got back from New York. That's why they weren't in 3

I'm not so sure about that. I think it's just a mistake in the movie. I think the 'salt turns the bodies to mummies' part is meant for us to realize he's full of shit, and/or dumb enough to believe what he's saying... But I think the part about the bodies fitting in a garbage can is a mishap where the writers unintentionally had a lapse in judgment about how reality works. This is usually the issue people have with suspending disbelief. People can suspend disbelief for a dragon flying around breathing fire, but say in the case of Game of Thrones (GoT spoilers ---->) they can't forgive a raven flying across Westeros and Dani flying her dragon back across Westeros in the span of a day. That is to say, people cannot forgive the laws of the universe breaking down...like time constraints contorting or laws of physics changing, etc.

So I think that was the same mistake here. I identified another mistake too when I got further into the movie. It was odd to me that the mom suddenly thought it was a good idea to hitch a ride with John Candy, but before he talked to her, she never thought to rent a vehicle and drive back home. So she a) doesn't want to drive, 2) can't drive, or d) never thought to drive until then...or she's lazy and needs to be driven by someone else.

I can't believe you actually typed out all that drivel.

Why do they need a cop to stand in their house when everybody's home, but dont want any security when they're gone? It's convenient for Harry, but doesnt really make sense.
