It has been over 35 years since we met Ferris Buller (Matthew Broderick) and his friend Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), and audiences of all ages still love watching their day off.
So what makes their movie so magical? Yesterday when Ruck was on The Talk, he shared his theory. “It is about friendship and generosity,” he said. “Cause here’s this guy. You know, he is almost a con man. And he has the whole school wired. He can take the day off and spend it with his gorgeous girlfriend. But who does he call up? His mopey friend, to show him a good time. You know, and pull him out of his shells. So I think that is a large part of it.”
Now that he said that, it all makes sense.
I don’t know about you, but I was always Team Cameron. And I love that he still moves and talks just like his character did. There was something about the way he does that that just attracted me to him. I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything is going to be OK.
However, when it comes to the TV series, I was so Team Ferris!
A couple of months ago, the house that was seen in The Goonies was up for sale, and Behman Zakeri bought it. He obviously bought the house because he is a big fan of the movie.
Sadly, the woman two doors down is not a fan of all of the traffic it brings to the neighborhood, so she made a sign that reads “Goonies Not Welcome.”
Well, the new owner responded with his own sign that says, “Hey you guys! Goonies welcome!”
To make matters worse for the Mama Fratelli, the neighbor in between wrote, “Ignore Karen” with an arrow pointing at her house.
She messed with the wrong people, and that is why Goonies never die.
KGW got a tour of inside the house. To see what it looks like, then click here!
Yesterday, Glenn Caron, who created Moonlighting, tweeted something that got fans of the ’80s detective dramedy super excited. He wrote, “Disney and I have put our heads together and come up with a plan. Big announcement Wednesday!!! #Moonlighting #BruceWillis #CybillShepherd #AllyceBeasley #CurtisArmstrong”
Since Bruce Willis has retired from acting, it doesn’t sound like it will be a sequel. So what could it be? We are only left to guess.
We are not the only ones wondering what is going on, so is Curtis Armstong. Because he wrote, “This is intriguing…🤔” That it is.
What do you think his announcement is? And why isn’t Moonlighting in syndication?
Back in 1984, Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham auditioned for The Sure Thing. However, neither one got the lead role. Two years later, they starred in the nightmare-inducing movie Miracle Mile. (Side note – It is why I am still scared to go to Park La Brea to visit my friend)
Anyways, that movie was about a bomb, and their friendship never bombed. So much so that in 2018, their friendship turned into dating. And Edwards tells Esquire that the two of them eloped late last year.
The actor, who turns 60 this year, said that they are too old for weddings before praising his wife’s acting in the Broadway play Girl from the North Country.
Back on 1980, Jerry Casalawee had a huge hit with Devo called Whip It. The song has had such an influence over him that he uses whipped cream whenever he can.
One of the things he uses it for is to shave his face. He says it works really well. And the best part is you can get your lover to lick your face when you are done. I will lick whipped cream off almost anything, so I am willing to try this.
While that is what I would do with it, Casale wants to know what you Whip It with. So let him know on TikTok at @Devo, and he might try it out.
