1)Ferris Beullers Day Off. Seriously. What is the attraction? To me it's a typical 80's movie with no real oomph - so why is this movie so revered?
2)White Castle Craves. Am I the only person who thinks a steamed burger is disgusting?
3)The Simpsons. It was funny "Back in the day" before real comedic-animation-genius like "Family Guy" came into play. So why are so many people still so obsessed?
4)The Godfather. I fell asleep about 10 times trying to get through this movie. I won't even bother seeing the second or third ones.
5)On the topic of Gangster movies, Scarface. Is this movie so great that we have to quote Al Pacino 24/7 like autistic kids with marbles in our mouths?
6)Chuck Norris. WTF?

These observations are so off the wall and originally brilliant I'm sure you'll be doing commercials with Bill Gates in no time.

The simpsons started the prime time animation craze. were it not for them we would not have family guy, futurama, american dad, etc. The simpsons are still funny you just aren't laughing because you aren't watching them.

No, The Flintstones started the whole prime time animation craze, technically The Simpsons was a (much better) re-hashing of it.

There is a moral to the story of Ferris, and it's funny as hell.
"Life moves pretty quick, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you might miss it."
You don't get it because you are looking at it from the perspective of an adult. Think how profound that message would have seemed to a teenager back then.
2)White Castle Craves. Am I the only person who thinks a steamed burger is disgusting?
I prefer Krystals for my steamed burger cravings. White Castle's suck and don't taste nearly as good in my opinion. Krystals are the perfect stoner food. They are small, and you can get massive quantities of them cheaply at 3am when you are stoned as hell from a day of debauchery.
3)The Simpsons. It was funny "Back in the day" before real comedic-animation-genius like "Family Guy" came into play. So why are so many people still so obsessed?
The simpsons started the prime time animation craze. were it not for them we would not have family guy, futurama, american dad, etc. The simpsons are still funny you just aren't laughing because you aren't watching them.
4)The Godfather. I fell asleep about 10 times trying to get through this movie. I won't even bother seeing the second or third ones.
The godfather is a sprawling epic about corruption, greed, murder, and most of all family.
in my opinion 2 is even better than one. Three, not so great. my advice is to watch one even if you have to slog through it to get the backstory then watch two. Do you know how many academy awards the two godfather movies earned? The Godfather was nominated for ten academy awards. It took three of them. Best Actor, Best adapted screenplay, and Best Picture.
The Godfather part 2 was nominated for eleven. Stop and let that sink in a second
11!
They won six.
Best Director
Best Supporting Actor (DeNiro as the young Don Corleone)
Robert DeNiro, and Marlon Brando are the only two actors in history who have ever both won academy awards for playing the same role.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Art Direction
Best Score
Best Picture
In short the Godfather is an incredible piece of cinema and you must watch it all the way through sometime in order to fully appreciate it.
5)On the topic of Gangster movies, Scarface. Is this movie so great that we have to quote Al Pacino 24/7 like autistic kids with marbles in our mouths?
Scarface was not as good as The Godfather But Tony Montana is a fucking awesome badass that will kill you and eat your children if you cross him.
6)Chuck Norris. WTF?
Chuck Norris one liners are kinda funny. They make me smile and I grew up while he was still at the pinnacle of his badassery in the movies. I have seen all the MIA movies and loved em all.

1)Ferris Beullers Day Off.
No idea.. it sucked. Hard. Mostly because Matthew Broderick is a douchebag.
2)White Castle Craves. White castle isn't the BEST around, but it's good when you're hungry in the middle of the night and want lots of food.
3)The Simpsons. I think the Simpsons sucks. The entire comedic style is still stuck in the early 90's.
4)The Godfather. You need to take some speed or something.. The Godfather 1 and 2 are two of the best movies ever made. About anything. Part 3 does suck a walrus nut, though.
5)Scarface. Scarface was a great movie when it came out, but it's not THAT good, so I don't know why so many people like it.
6)Chuck Norris. While the whole "Chuck Norris can piss his name into concrete" type 'facts' are old as hell, back in the day, he was a damn good martial artist. Besides, he does have one of the best beards. Ever.

2)Harold and Kumar started that.
-----
No Harold and Kumar had nothing to do with that.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it did, I dont have a white castle here and the only reason I ever ate there while traveling was because of the movie
-----
Ok, allow me to explain this SLOWLY so that no one misses it. The movie was made precisely because, for decades now, White Castle has been a favorite eating place of the drunk or otherwise impaired. The phenomenon does not exist because of the movie, the movie exists because of the phenomenon. People were making runs to White Castle to satisfy their cravings long before the movie was even conceived.
The reason for the phenomenon is much simpler. At 4 a.m., you can go to White Castle and get about 20 of those nasty little burgers for about 5 bucks (or you could when I was in college. I haven't been since). There often wasn't anything else open at that hour, so you ate what you could get. The fact that they are the as cheap as ramen and a lot easier to make helped too.
Just because you are a Johnny-come-lately doesn't mean that some stupid fucking movie is the reason people go.

1) can't really explain this but I still liked the movie, 80s cheese.
2) no idea, potheads? don't care really
3) shitting on the Simpsons is what provoked me to review
fuck you for blasphemy! I love Family Guy, but it is pretty fucking obvious that FG just took the Simpsons formula and took it across the line(American Dad even more so).
Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpsons_Already_Did_It - South Park has its moments as well.
(btw, i hate linking to wiki but it was the first google hit)
4) I'm a full WOP Dago bastard and I've yet to see them...one day I'll get around to it
5) it was OK, but not great...I suppose I have to agree with you here
6) I hate everything about Chuck Norris and anything with his name & likeness associated with it!
Bill Brasky is Chuck Norris' father!
As for the pic...
I can only assume the one of the left is a filthy MILF whore, oxymoron you say? Absolutely not! :)
Middle chick might be appealing after half (or more) of a 40 of Gin.
Chick on the right is fairly attractive, and you KNOW she swallows.
They are all still smiling, so I assume this was AFTER the fat dude paid them for sex but BEFORE he ate them.

1)Robocop was better.
2)Burgers are relatively shit anyway, but if it's good meat with proper seasoning, the only way to cook it is flame grilled. White Castle sucks fat salty walrus nuts.
3)The Simpsons is good when they're not saving their best material for a year and a half to put in a movie.
4)I've had similar results. We should watch it together so I can touch your goodies during the boring parts.
5)Scarface was an exceptional movie, but if you're hanging out with douchebags that walk around quoting it (or have even seen it more than twice), you need new friends. Try dating outside of frat houses.
6)Even the phenomenon of making fun of Chuck Norris is old at this point. Seriously, if this is a recurring issue for you, you really do need to hang out with people that aren't fucktard frat boy douchebags. Here's a hint. If you see a blowout haircut, a pink polo shirt, bug-eye Eurotrash sunglasses, lip gloss on a guy, or anything with a fucking popped collar, GET THE FUCK AWAY.

The Godfather and Godfather Part II are 2 of my favorite films. If you don't get them, I can't help you. They're worth watching just for the beauty and magnificently restrained acting of young Pacino.
You're right about Part III though - don't bother.
