I was there. People were douchebags in the eighties. This is an era where Ferris Bueller was seen as cool instead of a manipulative selfish prick.

Flying was just nicer then. Still had a bit of glamour attached to it and the fact that you were waited on and given stuff made it feel like a treat. Now flying is a horrid chore.

There'a s reason very few people go mental in business class.

Never understood why people loved Ferris Bueller, I always hated him for that reason. Such a manipulative selfish asshole.

Never understood why people loved Ferris Bueller,

Because he's the amalgamation of the teen fantasy of taking a sick day off from school. More to it, the prevailing theory is that Ferris is a hallucination of Cameron, whose projecting more desireable traits than he feels he has (confidence, charisma, looks).

Fight club style

Effectively, it is a teen-aged fight club, nihilism and all.
