Huge part of my adolescence. Corny as his stuff was, it was still like reading my diary back then. I'll miss him.

Here's a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing of your face.

Oh, man, we could fill this whole site with great Hughes-isms.

Sad day. For a certain age group here, I'm sure his movies are fondly remembered as a fun part of more innocent times.

Save Ferris? Save Ferris? Save Ferris?
Excuse me?
Well, a group of us are collecting money to buy Ferris Bueller a new kidney. They run about 50 g's, so if you wouldn't mind helping out...
Go piss up a flagpole.
I'm sorry?
You should be.

RIP Hughes!

Wow. this was the first I heard about him passing.

I might not have seen all of his films, but I've seen my share.

They were making Pretty in Pink 2, last I heard. ('bout a month ago)

What sucks about that is many of his movies (Ferris and Sixteen Candles, off the top of my head) have impossible-to-find soundtracks.

I read an article once that mentioned that oddity ... but damned if I can recall, specifically, why it was so.
