Posting here so other people might catch it before it's gone but I don't know what timezones do to schedules

Anyway,

Loved it, awesome movie. A great scenescape of 80's New York as well and I love the snappy and playful editing, Alan Ruck and the main actor playing Ferris are perfect but everyone really does a great job here. Instant recommend if you want a teenage comedy that's competently made and doesn't make fun of you while watching it

Also love that Deadpool stole/references the end credit, such a lovely thing

Just learned from Wikipedia that it's not New York but Chicago. Oh well, that's what I get for not having been to either places

Pretend I gently roasted you for this mix-up and we both had a sensible chuckle.

John Hughes is rolling and shitting and pissing in his grave that you said it was in New York. They go to Sears tower, they watch a Cubs game, what more could he have done???

I...thought it was just a different neighborhood in New York

The sausage king of Chicago when the sausage king of New York walks in

It's a bummer the principal turned out to be a pedophile and Matthew Broderick killed two women by driving on the wrong side of the road. Still a great movie tho.

The bit about the tariffs echoed really well too, I didn't know that

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I love this movie. It's easily one of my favorites.

[-] hollowmines@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Always thought Alan Ruck was easily the best thing in this, and he was perfect on Succession.
