i'm awake

One actor that I've never been quite able to figure out is Matthew Broderick.

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is in my top 8 of movies. A young Matthew Broderick plays one of my favorite characters of all time. But after Ferris Bueller, his career really confuses me. He was great in "Inspector Gadget" and "The Cable Guy." But his choices to make "Godzilla," "The Stepford Wives" and "Deck the Halls" makes no sense to me. He must have enough money to never have to work again.

Most confusing, however, is his decision to marry that evil wench of a woman Sarah Jessica Parker.

I have no problem saying that I think Matthew Broderick is decent looking. He has a boyish charm and loves to play ping-pong. He could easily get any other vixen in Hollywood. Hells, Mia Sara, who played Sloan, is single. I think they should get back together. It's clear that Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't appreciate him and is better off with some other horse face.

It's no secret that I like a good chorerographed dance scene in movies. I have no shame in admitting that I enjoy a good musical here and there. While watching "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" this morning I realized just how awesome the parade scene is in that movie. Then i got to thinking, " which scene do I like better?"

The Day-O Scene from Beetlejuice:



or

Twist and Shout from Ferris Bueller



After watching both scenes about 12 times, I came to the conclusion that Twist and Shout is far superior. My favorite part of the scene comes at 0:58, when that black guy does that shake dance. It's awesome. I also like the scene better because there is an emphasis on balloons. I truly believe balloons can make the worst of days better. As a matter of fact, if this nasty sinus infection that I have been battling kills me, I want at least 4 dozen balloons at my funeral. I also want a cover band.
