I posted this on FB at midnight!

I enjoy that both you and Tim have made sure I haven't missed it though. I like that Ferris makes people think of me.

[HRH Gold Joinee Sheli]

Teehee! I assumed you would have seen it, but I did a little excited squeak when I saw it and wanted to share the glee!!

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

It's weird, because the possibility of a Ferris part 2 (I shall from on now refer to it as "Ferris Deuxller") is something at first makes me go OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO EXCITING!!!!! And then the more I think about it, the more I think, there is absolutely no way on earth that that could ever be good.

It's some sort of ad, I believe. I hope Alan Ruck is involved, because he makes me happy.

Eep. What does this mean?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!

It's a Super Bowl filler. I've still never seen the first film.

[PJ Hannah B-R]

Well the superbowl goes on all day and gets huge audiences. They always have big musical performances and comedy and stuff I believe. This will be part of that. So not a full film, but could be as much as a 10 - 15 minutes thingy.

[Lethal Biddle]

From what I gather there will be a series of minisodes to air during the Superbowl. So I'm guessing 5 or 6 3-5 minute episodes. Which is the norm for minisodes.
But I don't think there's been an official announcement, so this is just educated guessing by a bunch of American media types.

EDIT: Or, alternatively, it might be a Honda ad.

How incredibly disappointing.

[HRH Gold Joinee Sheli]

Lame-o.

[Joinee Michelle]

Devestated.

[joinee_doug]

The teaser makes sense then, using the American style date (Feb 5) the day of the Super Bowl, and not May 2. And it's probably wise to show someone else driving recklessly, given his driving record.

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

I quite like it for what it is (gosh, Honda's budget must be heeeeeoooooooooge), and a sequel would really never work so I'm quite happy with this outcome, but it is massively disappointly Alan Ruckless

I also can't help but wonder why Ferris grew up to have no friends.

That tune is so pretty. Especially when combined with its name.

And little baby Alan Ruck was so pretty too. I first knew (of) him through Spin City, where he played Stuart Bondek who is just about the exact polar opposite of Cameron. So watching him be sweet young Cameron after watching him being Stuart just made me so utterly appreciate his talent and his awesomeness.

He's also the annoying tourist in Speed, no?

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

I haven't watched Speed. But IMDB says he was in it playing a character called Stephens, and he's good at playing annoying characters, so I shall guess: yes

He also scared the life out of me once by playing an incredibly fat and old-looking patient in Scrubs. And I worried that he might have been that old, ill, fat looking in real life. But thankfully he's cropped up in other stuff since then looking like normal Alan Ruck, and my relief has been huge. (Although according to (my Bible) IMDB, he nearly died of septicaemia in 2002, which was when that ep was filmed, so maybe he really DID look that awful back then and it wasn't just the Scrubs make-up department terrifying me unnecessarily. Maybe my terror was well-placed.)

Speaking of which, I learned recently that Benjamin Franklin's London Landlady's daughter, Polly, to whom Ben wrote many letters, married a man named William Hewson, who ran an anatomy school at the house (36 Craven street). He was slicing away at a putrid corpse one day, and wounded himself. He contracted septicaemia and died.

Threadjack? Better bring it back....

So Ferris... People are complaining on the youtube video that "Everybody sells out sometime", but in my opinion, the best thing about advertisements is their capacity to entertain... I'm glad they made this. It's tantalising and fun, but as you say Lou, there is no way that a sequel could possibly work. Even if they were all still young and fresh-faced, there's no doubt a sequel would detract from the wonder and delight that comprises Ferris Bueller's day off!!!
