This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
A movie just about David’s weird parents who are totally oblivious to their son’s hacking, don’t care when he’s arrested by the FBI, and butter (uncooked!) corn by coating a piece of bread and then rubbing the bread on the cob, is the great 1980s spinoff we never got.
Ohhhhhh.
So this is what Ferris does when he’s not skipping school.

This film stands as a charming piece of history from its time, with its delightful depiction of 1980s technology and the pervasive fear of nuclear war that preoccupied audiences. The witty and entertaining characters, including a standout performance from Matthew Broderick, who portrays an ordinary computer nerd that becomes embroiled in a government conspiracy involving an Artificial Intelligence intent on causing World War III, makes this film relatable to modern audiences as well.
The weirdest yet most genius way to butter a corn on the cob.
John Badham’s “WarGames” is a techno-thriller that is both quaint and prescient. Centering around buzzing, ticking, and beeping 1980s technologies that may spell the end of humankind, the film revels in modems and two-color displays; but, more importantly, carries the classic and contemporary warning that that same technology can be humanity’s undoing. Combined with an energetic cast, a compelling narrative, and a mostly serious tone, the film’s message rewards its audience with a gripping, well-assembled drama.
Beginning in an underground military installation where human beings are charged with carrying out orders that could lead to the nuclear destruction of nations, “WarGames” quickly establishes its narrative query: should calculating machines perform the duties of emotionally driven humans? Revolving around that question,…
This campy masterpiece answers the question: "What if John Hughes directed Doctor Strangelove?"
Striking a great tone between believable and absurd, WarGames raises some still-relevant questions about machine learning and automation, while still having Matthew Broderick run around a top secret military bunker undetected.
Despite its ridiculous premise, it manages to be extremely suspenseful at times. WarGames is a very fun rewatch!
ferris bueller's nuke off
So that’s how Ferris knew how to erase his absences!
