I own a few movies that are strictly guilty pleasures. It doesn’t matter if anyone likes them but me. One of those movies is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Like me it’s over 20 years old and I’ve added it to my collection of things that still fascinate me about the 80′s. If you’ve never seen it, I’m sure it’s available on Netflix or somewhere else online. Anyway Honda recently presented an advertisement that pays homage the character. In it Matthew Broderick reprises his role but this time as himself. He’s older than me by the way, just in case you wanted to know. Anyway, I liked the extended commercial and thought I’d share it. If you haven’t seen the movie, most of it will be lost on you but I think it’s still worth a watch. Here it is in all its hi-def crunchy goodness:

Okay so I haven’t had cable TV in years and while I can pick up the big networks over the antenna, I don’t watch the news. I get most of my info from reading and face to face conversation and that suits me fine. I read a lot and a decent portion of it is online. Sometimes I run into things others have written or said that I wish I’d have said so I’m starting this new piece called “Couldn’t have said it better!”
This piece entitled “His Reasoning Is Askew” is by a guy named David Brothers who I follow online. Like me he’s been reading comics since he was a kid and this article talks from that point of view and another I share; that of the huge amount of content available online and all the choices we now have. Check him out.
