Ferris Beuller and The Breakfast Club struck a teenager genetic chord that I apprently lack.

If forced to pick one I'd go with Ferris Beuller but it wouldn't be a happy choice. Actually if I had to pick one of the trio of movies that were taken as proof that god loves us and bestows gifts upon us during my junior high/high school years and yet I despided (because Satan loves me) I'd pick Heathers as the most watchable.


That last sentence is the most beautifully constructed of all time. I must forward it on to Edmund Burke so he'll be overwrought with jealousy.

Life is a carousel, NA. A great big crazy ball of pure living, breathing joy and delight.

... You gotta get one. ;)

UGH!

I think I'm going to go listen to the first Circle Jerks album and try to make up for lost time - and sentiment.

Great line. However, I don't think it made it into the movie.

You are correct. It would have made such a better ending.

Well, I'm not sure. I think the ending as shot has Ferris sounding cocky but also somewhat bitterly aware that his run is coming to an end. I think that's a better ending than an unadorned "life is crazy wonderful."

Fair enough. I haven't seen the flick in years. In some sick way, NA's complaints have made me want to revisit it.

Except for Borat ... when N.A. says she didn't find a film humorous ... I run to watch it as if it were guaranteed comedy gold.

I watched most of 'Forbidden Zone' on the way home from work today - a fellow rider on the Orange Line asked "Do you have to be on drugs to watch a movie like that?"

I just smiled and said "No, but some people do"

I'm sure there are films out there that I find funny that other people do as well.





I just can't think of any at the moment.
