This post is totally untimely and pretty irrelevant. It will also (most likely) have zero impact on your life. But this is the internet, so, that kind of thing is pretty typical.
Easy A is a pretty decent movie. Better than your average chick flick, but not quite supreme enough to become a component of a movie marathon among friends. However, despite the incredibly high "dece" quality to the film, there was one bone I had to pick with it that could not be...left unpicked?
Near the end of the movie, Emma Stone (who is by the way, insanely attractive) talks about classic moments in John Hughes teen films. Awesome right? Except when she makes one mistake. A mistake large enough to make me type this small post. She claims that the dance scene in Ferris Buller's Day Off was random and unnessesary.
Emma Stone just got a whole lot uglier.
Not really, I would still respectively tap (tap: to court or enjoy the company of a respectable young woman) that.
But seriously? You don't know why that scene is in the movie? A big theme of the movie is that Ferris is awesome. He can do anything. He can get away with anything. The parade scene is a culmination of this idea, Ferris at his most impressive point. He literally would have to have tried incredibly hard to be more in the public eye than he was. This is why the movie needs the scene, and this is why no one else questions why it's in there.
Of course I don't place blame with Emma Stone. I blame screenwriter Bert V. Royal, who claims to have written most of the script in five days. Sorry Bert V. (I can only assume the "V" stands for Vagina), but only John Hughes can write classics in short amounts of time. Nice try, but let's respect the classics before we question them with our own, ironic and modern spins on everything that was already good.
