It's a car ad, it's not almost a movie. It's not telling a story, it's trying to get me to buy a car.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm sorry, the only car Ferris Bueller (yes, I know this was Matthew not Ferris, but in this context it is the same) could get away with selling is a Ferrari. Even better if it is a 1961 Ferrari GT California, but I'd understand if it were a modern Farrari.

I find it disturbing how much makeup Broderick is actually wearing.
Also, that was terribly embarassing.

Last thing dude sees every night before falling asleep is Sarah Jessica Parker; I can see how that would skew one's impression of the appropriate amount of makeup to wear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I mentioned it in SPN because he beat a SPN lead for the role, but they've cast Leon in the Resident Evil movies. And apparently this makes game fans mad--not because Johann Urb has the role, but because apparently including Leon ruins Leon? I'm a bit confused right now.

I'm trying to watch Girl 6, mostly to shore up my Spike Lee, and...my god, this thing is creepy. Theresa Randle is consistently gorgeous and sexy, but am I supposed to buy into the idea that phone sex operators are constantly dolled up, and even his disinterested operators are pretty caught up in the idea of it.
I mean, I get that 6 is an aspiring actor, and part of it is her loss of identity, but there's isn't a sufficient distinction between her and her co-workers are still glam and showing nip, etc.
I will say, the soundtrack is absolutely amazing, but I've just reached the extended Jeffersons insert, and I feel too much like I'm watching someone (unappealling) wank all over the screen.
It's really creepy. I need to watch some normal Spike Lee to get rid of the taste.

I liked Girl 6, but I think I liked it in part because it was creepy and unsettling? Haven't seen it since it was in the theater, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just couldn't help feeling I was supposed to buy into the wall to wall eroticisation of the profession, as opposed to it just being Girl 6's issue. Unless we were seeing her sexed up co-workers through her eyes, it was just too much.
Next you'll be telling me that strippers all want to bone the customers.
