Who is this hack?



shit, terrible loss, lots of good movies

 

[Fun Size]

Tonight, I wear a bra on my head in front of my computer in his honor.

Aw Hell, who am I kidding? I was gonna anyways.

 

[Espy]

 

[Philosopher B.]

Holy balls. I'm gonna watch Planes, Trains & Automobiles in remembrance.

 

[Cheesy1]

Are you talking about the man or his career?

 

Whoa! This one came out of left field. Was he ill?

-- Thu Aug 06, 2009 3:10 pm --

Heart attack. He was only 59 and he never saw it coming. Very scary.

 

[Cheesy1]

Ok, FINALLY saw something else mentioning this.

Damn it people from my childhood, STOP DYING ALL AT ONCE!!! :waah:

 

[Bonhomme Richard]

Wow, that's one heck of a loss. A huge portion of my all time favorite movies are on his roster.

 

[drawn_inward]

Man. I just watched Uncle Buck again last night. Such a good movie.
RIP John Hughes

 

[sixpackshaker]

I am now a sad farmer Ted.

 

I am now a sad farmer Ted.

I just watched that the other night. I think it's funny that everyone in the credits is named, but AMH's character is just "The Geek". Hell, even John Cusack's character is listed with an actual name!

 

[Steve]

The cat was on fire in the 80's. That's a killer list. May Bender fire up a fatty on that puffy cloud with you.

 

[rac3r_x]

You realize what this means don't you? John Hughes movie memorial marathons, hopefully this power will be used for good and not evil, but I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[Hylian]

great now I am sad

 

[TwoBit]

Awesome people have to stop dieing. THAT'S A DIRECT ORDER.

 

[Just Me]

:waah:

As sson as I come back from my friend's wedding tomorrow I'll start my own John Hughes marathon, there's a lot of teenage memories in my DVD shelves.

:waah:

 

[Roxxoredizorz]

Shit, I watched Sixteen Candles last night.

 

[CynicismKills]

Weird Science and Ferris Bueller have always been favorites of mine, I'd like to watch Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink again.

I've never actually seen Breakfast Club.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Aside from a handful (Planes, Trains, Automobiles; Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck) I pretty much dislike/don't care about his films, but he was a definitive 'eighties' director it seems, and I was a child of the 90s. A sad loss anyways, although I was more panicked when I momentarily confused him with John Waters, whom I absolutely love.

Something to remember him by:
