LOL – that is awesome. I KNEW those preview makers were screwing with us on purpose.
(Is “preview makers” a real job? It should be.)

Y’know, each of the hundred or so times I’ve seen this movie, I always felt that there was a darker, more sinister side to it all.
Confirmed!!!

It’s amazing what a little music and editing can do, both of those clips (Avitable’s included) are so great! I’m going off to youtube to see what I can find now

it’s not as good as the recut ‘preview’ of the shining, but it’s still pretty damn good.
i love these things.

Is it wrong that all I kept thinking was GOD, WERE WE EVER REALLY THAT YOUNG?

Well that’s just great…thanks a lot, Jen.
I’ve now had to cancel my engagement for the evening due to a compelling urge to rent FBDO.

Man that looked like a totally different movie..you know some young kid is gonna think it’s real.

Dang! What a HUGE difference a different music track and different clips make! Wow!
And from a whole different perspective?????…Makes you wonder just how much the public can be swayed on a News Story or other non-fiction documentary, merely by how the material is presented?
Things that make you go MMMMMMmmmm….

For some reason, I don’t remember Ferris Beuller being so dark and artsy. I can’t wait to show my daughter that. FBDO is her comfort movie whenever she’s sick or sad.

It’s amazing how some re-editing and a change of music can totally shift the tone. Scary.

avitable: i hadn’t seen that one – i love it!
miss britt: i’m sure it is a real job. i’d just like to be the voice-over guy for all those previews – it’s always the same gravely voice.
shari: don’t you, though?
poppy: cracked me up too!
sir: you have a keen insight into the human psyche.
tobi: it really is amazing what creative editing can do for a film, isn’t it?
megan: i loved the shining one – it’s the feel good film of the summer!
tracy lynn: i’ve always been this old.
jessica: are you telling me you don’t already own it?
libragirl: i didn’t remember so many seemingly dramatic scenes in the film – it was great!
ZZ: oh, absolutely! and you always hear people on those reality tv shows talk about the unfair editing – maybe they’re not all just whiners.
churlita: ha! i don’t know how comforting this new director’s cut of FBDO will be for her…
kapgar: that music is super creepy – from requiem for a dream, which is almost unwatchable it’s so painfully dark.

I hadn’t seen that one before. Great parody from two great movies.

The voiceover guy is Don LaFontaine. A.K.A. The coolest voice in the History of Earth. He can make wheat germ breakfast cereal sound intense and dramatic.
