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.
Laga,
what did the actor have to say?
I adore Ferris Bueller beyond all reason and Planes, Trains... is one of my DH's favorite films so we are a John Hughes household.
I laugh about the Annie Potts makeover b/c we have had this conversation before - I never saw it as an antimakeover - I always saw her as just changing her clothing "mood", which I do often.
I really like "Ferris" but I didn't see it till later so it didn't make my childhood list. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once and a while you might miss it."
what did the actor have to say?
I don't remeber real well but basically he's been taken to task by other Asians his whole life since.
Ferris is awesome.
I still remember the surprise of the post-credit scene. Because it was so unexpected, and yet everyone really was still just sitting there in the theater.
Poor Gedde Watanabe.
He's a fine actor, and has been in lots of other things, but he's been branded with Long Duck Dong.
In Ferris I love the scene with "When Cameron was in Egypt's land, Let my Cameron go."
Ferris is a huge favorite of mine, but I was trying to go with stuff Hughes wrote. Which ... he didn't, right?
I could watch Ferris once a month, for real.
Planes, Trains...
"You're GOING THE WRONG WAY!"
"How does he know which way we're going?"
And also:
"Those aren't PILLOWS!!!"
