Look at that smug little punk! Ferris Bueller is a villain, and it takes a villain to know one. Granted I’ve only worked for a supervillain (or possibly two given a couple of my later bosses) in my Reviewers Unknown days. So I found another one.
In the video below, the Spoony One’s mad scientist nemesis/roommate Doctor Insano takes a shot at reviewing Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I figured since I’m doing a backlog slowdown (and I’m off to a good start on that, by the way) I’d do a theme of trashing this two-bit con artist who only cares about himself and his own fun, manipulating the love and support of others and ruining lives of anyone not him without any concern even for his supposed friends…and he gets away with it because the movie thinks he’s a hero for doing what the audience wishes they could.
For some reason this video isn’t up at Noah Antweiler’s YouTube channel and I even checked his Counter Monkey YouTube channel of tales from the RPGs he’s played in, so I have to use a third-party upload. Note that there is swearing.
Convinced yet? And yet they made a TV series for him after someone made their own clone for the TV series Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. I should look both of those shows up to see if they had a better title character, but that is not one of my current projects. Nice to get this out of my system without forcing myself to do my own review. I really don’t want to torture myself with stuff I don’t like. Is the movie itself a good movie? Apparently, given the response. My point is Ferris Bueller is a terrible person who gets away with his crimes and sins without either punishment or redemption. I would have accepted redemption at realizing how he ruined his friends’ lives for a lousy skip day, but that isn’t happening and that’s why I don’t like the movie.
Back to the project backlog. I’m making quite a bit of headway but this isn’t as good as my usual content. Again, apologies to the newcomers and to the long-standing subscribers, too. Check my older posts and I do make better than this week’s offerings.
