I adore TOS and I don't see this movie as a "fix." In spirit, it's essentially AU TOS fanfic. It's clearly been made with vast amounts of love for the show and the universe it inhabits.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's a thought.

News flash: Run Lola Run is a pretty good movie.
Yes, I'm lame, and just saw it.

A perfect description! Love that movie--my sister was volunteering at the Tacoma art-film house and saw it a few weeks before I visited and she insisted that I see it with her. Loads of fun to watch, and Franke Potente is really riveting in it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love FBDO because Chicago is the main character.
I heard somewhere Matthew Broderick said there should never be a sequel because Ferris should never grow up.

Granted, but it would be amusing to see Ferris in an office somewhere, adored by all as he coasts along doing as little as possible. Plus I'd like to see if Cameron turned out OK.

I think Cameron ended up working for the mayor of NY.

Yay for Simon Pegg and Karl Urban!! I was really pleased to see Urban get cast in this role, since he was only getting cheesy action films and/or baddie roles in better movies since Two Towers. Here's hoping he'll start getting some more substantial roles soon.
So much word. I couldn't even get through ten minutes of Pathfinder even though he's half-naked throughout. I did enjoy his character in Riddick, though.
Friend in college introduced me to Run Lola Run and Franka Potente, and I also really really loved The Princess and the Warrior.
Hated FBDO the first time I saw it, didn't get the fuss. I have since warmed to it, but Ferris does make me feel like hyperventilating with his jackassery at points. Don't love it, but can enjoy it distractedly if it's on.
