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.

Heh.

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.

I think I'll watch FBDO again someday, just for all the Chicago stuff.

I love FBDO. It's a lovely tribute to Chicago in particular, and throughthat, to the joys of city living. Ballgames, skyscrapers, parades, art museums, fancy restaurants--all of them to be enjoyed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Chicago aspects of FBDO are the things that stuck with me afterwards. That and "Bueller? Bueller?"

Other good show-off-Chicago movies: Blues Brothers, The Fugitive, Blink, and Adventures in Babysitting. Any other suggestions?

Anyone seeing Battle for Terra? Owen's dying to see it but I am dubious.

Batman Begins. Heh.

I also really really loved The Princess and the Warrior.

Oh I did too. I was haunted by that film. Afterward, I just ruminated on it for a few hours.
