Beth from Newsradio? Yes. Kathy Griffith… uh, you may have a brain tumor.

All You Need To Know About the Movie
Is right there in the picture at the top of the page.

True, Noel. His movies seemed more memorable than, say, "Reality Bites".

I've always figured that Ferris has to come back weeks later to identify Cameron's remains.

Didn't even think about him - but you're right, he really comes across as a nice guy. Which means he either really is, or he's an evil mastermind genius. Win / win.

A friend of mine worked as a costumer on the State and has said they're pretty fun people.

I thought the only dance she could do was the robot.

No, but you get points for unintentional irony.

The Irony Is
that you'll be reviewing the Roman Planet episode next time, Zack… which also has the bizarre "parallel Earth". No explanation.
And I believe the episode where you have the adults all killed off by a virus is again supposed to be another Earth.

Apart from Ferris, didn't enjoy them. And I prefer Better Off Dead, Say Anything or Real Genius to Ferris any day of the week.

Which is doubly ironic, since most Hughes fans I've known barely acknowledge that movie's existence.

I'll Be Waiting
For the inevitable 'why are you hipster douchebags dumping on an entertainer simply because he isn't sardonic/cynical/mocking people?'

Dissenting Voice
Don't own any of his movies. Ferris was decent, but mostly for quotability and set pieces.
But he deserved to be roundly slapped for letting Molly Ringwald dictate to him how a movie should end.

I'm Surprised
The company didn't just buy the rights to "Custer's Revenge" and convert it to an iPhone app.

RHPS is the movie's name - the second 'show' is the live actors who perform at midnight showings.
'Shadowcast' would be the more proper term, but I don't know how many people would be familiar with it.

Partnership
Dream-team of Joe Eszterhas and Anne Rice is now possible.

Yeah, that's pretty much the business model of Brookstone as well.

Definitely not Scott Adams, whose games generally had the weakest parsers in existence.

Wait, lovemydog, you don't shop at chain bookstores?
