NOT JOHN HUGHES!!!

[stoney321]

Oh, so sad!

"Oh, Sam, let me take a look at you. Fred, she's gotten her boobies."
"I better get my magnifying glass, hahaha!"

"I hear the grill alone on this car cost five grand. FIVE GRAND!"
"So don't hit anybody."
"Ho ho, don't hit anybody."

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles! She's Having A Baby! Uncle Buck!! Freaking FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF?!

If it wasn't for Hughes, I would have most of my DVD collection, nor my still going strong mental love affair with Jake Ryan. RIP, dude, you will be missed.

[ETA] I mean, this is my parenting/education philosophy for little kids!!

"I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a silly heart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you!
[looks at Anita's mole] Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam."

Moley Russel Wart. :(

I know!! I just saw the news. Sad Faces a'plenty over here. I'm going to have to have a marathon Hughes fest tonight.

Dude. John Hughes DOMINATED my teen years.


Although, I do like to pretend the Home Alone franchise never happened.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

He STILL dominates my movie life! Not a week goes by without a John Hughes quote of some kind in my house. Wah.

THE 80s ARE DYING. FIRST MJ AND NOW JOHN HUGHES. Cyndi Lauper, how have you been feeling lately?

SOMEONE GET OVER THERE STAT WITH A DEFIBRILLATOR!! THEN GO TO THE COREYS AND PUT THEM IN A SAFE HOUSE!

Oh gawd, I loved Breakfast Club. One of my all time favorite movies. A sad day.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You mess with the bull, you get the horns! Aww, they're all such great movies. :(

[meridius.livejournal.com]

I know, I couldn't believe it! These movies were a part of my family! My pop watched TBC religiously, probably once a week.

I'm gearing up the DVD player for a Hughes fest tonight. He was my saving grace during my teen years.

That is terribly sad...and so unfair, as unfair deaths go.

Mrs. Melanoma. *sniff*

LOL. I love that whole scene. And the one with the hatchet and him scaring Bug. "Shave a little meat off the knee caps... SHWOOP!" Good times, man, good times.

59!? That's so tragically young. Time for a Hughes marathon.

I'm amazed that the obituaries I've read so far keep mentioning Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club. I was a little older than the main demographic, but for me it's always been all about Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I love that they went to an expensive restaurant and a museum and a baseball game and danced in a parade and ... Everything was inventive and fun and not just a bunch of kids playing hooky to get high or slack off. Seriously, it's one of my favorite films ever.

*Joins you in sadness*

I was soooooo sad to hear about him dying. It's like a part of my childhood just went away...

[the-soul-of-wit.livejournal.com]

I am so devastated by this news. As soon as I saw it when I got home last night, I was wildly updating my twitter with any quotes I could think of for #johnhughesquotes, and every time I stopped to read what people had written, I got all teary eyed. I am so sad. :-(

I saw that in the paper this morning and made up my mind that it's time the boys saw Ferris Bueller. They will love it, methinks.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Also, did you ever read this? I'd be interested to know what you thought of it.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I've never read that!! Oh man, what a cool idea. I don't know (ultimately) how I feel about that, because I love Ferris. (True story: the Mr. was Ferris in his high school Got away with stuff and was STILL the apple of his parents eye. !!)

But that just makes the Cameron storyline all the more poignant, huh? Oh, thanks for that link!

(And thank you for the birthday card! I opened it with my coffee and I love you for always being such a good friend. <3 <3 <3 to you and the boys!)
