Dang, I forgot about that completely. It was kind of fun to see Cameron commanding USS Enterprise in Star Trek: Generations. I'm sitting there thinking, "The last machine he was in charge of went flying out the back of his garage, and you give him the Enterprise?"

Sixteen Candles
Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
All three of which starred or co-starred Molly Ringworm but for some reason she's been resigned to playing supporting roles and bit parts for the past 15 years.

1958 Ferrari 250 GTS California. Less than a hundred were made. It has a market value of $265,000.
For fun, let's see if a 1958 Ferrari GTS actually existed.
This is the car used in the movie. Is it a real Ferrari?
Original and certified 1958 Ferrari 275 GTB Spyder
Original and certified 1962 Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder (Covered Headlights)
Correct answer is : 1986 Car: Ferrari-styled Kit Car The car used in the movie was manufactured by Modena Design and Development of El Cajon, California. It's a hand-built production sports car and each one takes about six months to build. The car is not a Ferrari, but Modena's Classic GT250 borrows heavily from the looks of the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. Modena's car also does not carry a Ferrari logo, but the prospective customer may add one if he/she wishes. The car body is composed of fiberglass hand-laid into a single mold and the 5-liter Ford V8 engine propels the car from 0-60 in less than six seconds. The car is also custom tailored to the customer's liking- they can pick the type of leather, paint, engine, audio system, and suspension.
I know...big whoop! But I'm bored and love cars, especially beautiful cars. This just gives me a reason to post pictures.

This was a fun film. Ferris's house (the one used in the movie) is right around the corner from me. I see it every day. Matthew Broderick was just darling in this.

Didn't we all have a science or math teacher just like that, lol.
I did! My math teacher's name was Mrs. Amos. we called her Mrs. Anus. I know, kids are so mean....

Back when I had hair people used to stop me on the street and ask if I was Matthew Broderick (actually they usually asked if I was Ferris Bueller).

Yes, actor Jeffery Jones got tagged for kiddie porn, faulty memory but I believe internet stuff was involved.

"Okay, I was actually going easy on you. Ready for the real smack down?
Kids entering college this year were born AFTER "Duck Tales" started AND after Shelley Long left Cheers!"
I'm almost 27 and I'm shocked at the kids I work with. 18-24 year old soldiers who have NO idea who the Stray Cats are (and think I'm gay for loving Rockabilly), think "Ordinary World" was Duran Duran's first hit, call the Red Hot Chili Peppers a "classic rock" band, and think Thunder Cats is a docudrama on the National Geographic Channel.
