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.

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

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.

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

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.

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….

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.

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

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