For the first time in years, I have a computer that will edit video without struggling under the weight of even the simplest of tasks, so I took my new copy of imovie out for a test drive with a mashup of Ferris Bueller and WarGames. It seemed like a natural fit. They both have Matthew Broderick in roughly contemporary roles, and both feature scenes of him using a computer to cause mischief.

So Ferris and Cameron take the day off from school and almost start World War 3 — like you do. I was able to combine scenes from the two movies in an amusing and occasionally convincing way, while actually tying the whole thing together with a consistent character motivation.

It's not seamless, but I think it came out surprisingly well.
