Hier der Vollständigkeit halber das Commercial für den Stinkbolzen mit Ferris Bueller. Ein ziemlich trauriges Kapitel im Leben von Matthew Broderick, denke ich.
Ferris Bueller is back for something…

Mac ‘n’ Cheese on Vimeo: Mac 'n' Cheese is an animated short directed and created by four students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. This roughly two minute animation took about five months to make, and about a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches.Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there's only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken.

Hofmann’s Potion (LSD documentary) – YouTube: The documentary delves into the little known early history of the world's most notorious psychedelic.Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "turn on, tune in and drop out," lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was being used by researchers trying to understand the human mind. This documentary is a fascinating look at the story of "acid" before it hit the streets.Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hofmann's Potion is much more than a simple chronicle of the drug's early days. <br />
With thoughtful interviews, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, it is an invitation to look at LSD, and our world, with a more open, compassionate mind.
The Bible of Western War, Now Featuring Cartoon Animals | Danger Room | Wired.com: On War is Clausewitz’s attempt to distill warfare down to its enduring essentials. Its only equal is Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. If you’ve heard the phrase, “war is politics by other means,” you know the nickel version. If you want to go for the jackpot, stroll over to one of the war colleges or onto any military listserv to hear people debate Clausewitz’s relevance to their pet issue or dispute what he really said like he was Marshall McLuhan in Annie Hall.But if you’d like something in between, Fitzgerald’s Clausewitz for Kids blog is slowly recasting On War, section by section, into a lecture series in the Prussian forest, conducted by Hare Clausewitz (get it?), the intense-looking rabbit officer pictured above in Napoleonic-era regalia.
CINEMETRICS: cinemetrics is about measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.
Christian Groß — SMS to Paper Airplanes: The text messages were filtered and analyzed using PROCESSING. The sender was encoded by the direction of the paper airplane, the length of the message with its size and the amount of positive emotional words with the amounts of folds. Additionally the paper airplanes were divided in two types depending on the length of their text. Finally, the paper airplanes resulting from this construction plan were placed in the room depending on the time when they were sent, as well as their emotional value.
Chicago: The Ferris Bueller high school – YouTube: You can make a strong case for The Blues Brothers as the definitive Chicago film, but Ferris Bueller's Day Off almost seems like a 103-minute commercial from the Chicago Office Of Tourism. That was no accident. Director (and Chicagoan) John Hughes described the film as his "love letter" to the city. He wanted to capture "not just the architecture, but the spirit."

Ferris Bueller Fight Club-Theory Mashup-Trailer
(Youtube Direktferris, via /Film)
Vor knapp einem Jahr bloggte ich über die Ferris Bueller Fight Club-Theorie und die wurde nun von Youtuber Robbe Rees in einem Mashup-Trailer verfilmt. Ferris Bueller, Du bist mein Held.
My favorite thought-piece about Ferris Bueller is the “Fight Club” theory, in which Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron’s imagination, like Tyler Durden, and Sloane is the girl Cameron secretly loves.
One day while he’s lying sick in bed, Cameron lets “Ferris” steal his father’s car and take the day off, and as Cameron wanders around the city, all of his interactions with Ferris and Sloane, and all the impossible hijinks, are all just played out in his head. This is part of the reason why the “three” characters can see so much of Chicago in less than one day — Cameron is alone, just imagining it all.
It isn’t until he destroys the front of the car in a fugue state does he finally get a grip and decide to confront his father, after which he imagines a final, impossible escape for Ferris and a storybook happy ending for Sloane (“He’s gonna marry me!”), the girl that Cameron knows he can never have.
Ferris Bueller is my hero on Twitter
Mist, das hier habe ich verpasst: Irgendjemand hat gestern „Ferris macht blau“ in Echtzeit auf Twitter nachgespielt… und zwar mit Accounts für alle (!) größeren Figuren aus dem Film, inklusive dem „echten“ Abe Froman, dem Würstchenkönig von Chicago (aber ohne Mutti Bueller aus irgend ‘nem Grund, weshalb ich das noch schnell vor Muttertag raushaue).
Ferris Bueller: „i swear, if cameron says “hey batter, batter, hey batter, batter, sa-wing battah!” one more time i will leave him here.“
Sloane Peterson: „Mr. Rooney… Ed… you’re a beautiful man. I want to thank you for your warmth and compassion. so quit following us!“
Cameron Frye: „ferris bueller is my hero“
Jeanie Bueller: „O.M.G. Have you guys seen this? #saveferris #wtf http://twitpic.com/1lumwh“
Tom Bueller: „@ferris_bueller_ http://twitpic.com/1lwaer – FERRIS!! IS THAT MR. FRYE’S FERRARI?!!“
Maitre: „@FromanSausage Mr. Froman, as you may or may not know, a Mr. Bueller schemed me into thinking he was you. Many apologies. Sincerely, C.Q.“
Ed Rooney: „Has anyone seen @ferris_bueller_ ? Anyone? Anyone? Oh my I’m starting to sound like Mr. errr the economics teacher.“
Abe Froman – The Sausage King of Chicago: „Have to say, I admire the little bastard on some level. Reminds me of, well, me at that age.“

Abe Froman, der Würstchenkönig von Chicago-Shirt
Last Exit to Nowhere verkaufen die wahrscheinlich coolsten Filmshirts, ever. Die Motive kommen als Firmenlogos, es gibt zum Beispiel ein Shirt mit Logos von Camp Crystal Lake oder OCP oder Nostromo oder Miskatonic Medical School (Friday 13th, Robocop, Alien, Re-Animator) und ich frage mich grade, warum ich denen nicht schon längst den Laden leergekauft habe.
Jetzt ist es wohl soweit: Ein Shirt mit dem Logo von Abe Froman, dem Würstchenkönig von Chicago.
Abe Froman ist krank. Die Freundin vom Bruder eines Freundes der Schwester meiner besten Freundin hat es von nem Typen gehört, der den kennt, der mit dem Mädchen geht, das gesehen hat, wie Abe gestern Abend in der Eisdiele ohnmächtig wurde. Ich glaube es ist ziemlich ernst.

Real Life Ferris Buellers Nachruf an John Hughes
Edward McNally, der das Vorbild im echten Leben für Ferris Bueller war, erinnert sich in der Washington Post an John Hughes und die Rolle von „Ferris macht blau“ in seinem Leben. Selbst den Ausflug mit dem Ferrari hat es tatsächlich gegeben, in einem lila Cadillac El Dorado. Der echte Ferris brachte es übrigens im Gegensatz zum Film-Ferris auf 27 Fehltage (Ferris Bueller: 9). Ich hatte 169, als man mich von der Schule schmiß. Who’s your Ferris?
Movie director John Hughes and I grew up on the same street in our home town of Northbrook, Ill. We both graduated from Glenbrook North, the high school where he filmed scenes from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “The Breakfast Club,” where his mom worked and two sets of our sisters were classmates. Because for years I was relentlessly pursued by a remarkably humorless Glenbrook dean about attendance, pranks and off-campus excursions — and because my best friend was in fact named Buehler — I’ve spent an inordinate amount of my life being unfairly accused of serving among the inspirations for Ferris Bueller. [...]
For one of those Chicago adventures, we secretly borrowed a car almost as ridiculously conspicuous as the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT in the movie: my dad’s purple Cadillac El Dorado (yes, purple). Put an extra 113 miles on the odometer. Hoping to erase that telltale mileage, we raised the back on a pair of jacks and ran the car in reverse. The Caddy did not fly backward into a ravine, as in the film. What it did do is quickly take off a clean 10,000 miles. Oops. (Yes, you bet he noticed.)
Whether or not we inspired Ferris, there’s no doubt his Day Off in 1986 left a lasting legacy for me and many others. [...] Hughes had Ferris talk directly to the camera. To us. He says, deal with your fear. Believe in yourself. Make sick days count. And: Do you realize that if we played by the rules, right now we’d be in gym?
John Hughes R.I.P.
John Hughes ist gestern im Alter von nur 59 Jahren an einem Herzinfarkt gestorben und mit ihm der Erschaffer von Ferris Bueller und The Breakfast Club, zwei meiner Alltime-Favorites und ich will gar nicht wissen, wie oft ich „Ferris macht blau“ gesehen habe, nachdem das der zweite oder dritte Film war, die ich damals im Kino gesehen habe (der erste war „20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer“).
When Cameron Was in Egypt’s Land… let my Cameron go… R.I.P.! Hier eine Montage aus den bekanntesten Hughes-Filmen, passenderweise unterlegt mit The Whos „Baba O’Reily“. Teenage Wasterland.

Die Ferris Bueller Fight Club-Theorie
Wie großartig! Letzte Woche erst erörterte man auf Ask Metafilter (via Kottke), welche Verbrechen im Laufe der Handlung von „Ferris macht blau“ begangen wurden. Zum Beispiel, als er sich am Telefon im Restaurant als Polizist ausgibt oder wenn er den Schulrechner hackt.
At the restaurant, on the phone with the Maitre D’ he says, “This is Sgt. Peterson, Chicago Police.” Violation of 720 ILCS 5/32-5.1: False Personation of a Peace Officer. A person who knowingly and falsely represents himself or herself to be a peace officer commits a Class 4 felony.
Das war schonmal ganz nett, aber jetzt kommt ein wahrer Ferris-Hammer: Die Ferris Bueller Fight Club-Theorie. Und die geht so: Ferris Bueller ist Camerons Schizo-Alter-Ego, mit dem er all das auslebt, was er sich in der Realität nicht traut. Und so stiehlt er, krank zuhause fiebernd, Papas Karre und macht einen drauf mit dem Mädchen, dass er niemals haben kann. Theoretische Moviemashups, fantastisch!

Ferris Bueller Parade als Flashmob
Wenn das hinhaut, dann wird das der beste Flashmob aller aller Zeiten und ich fluche jetzt einfach mal ganz laut, weil ich nicht in New York wohne. Ich habe schon als Kind immer diesen superschnell nickenden Schwarzen nachgemacht.
On September 6th, I am staging a large performance art piece that requires 6-8 hundred people recreating the parade scene from Ferris Bueller at the Deitch Art Parade in Soho. I am recruiting secret agents in the audience of the parade to mimic the extras in the movie as my Ferris float approaches. In order to fully reproduce the spirit of the scene I will need at least 100 agents on each block of the parade to get the Ferris joy-ball rolling.
Upcoming: Ferris Bueller Parade (NYC)
