Wow, first Farrah and Michael, and now John Hughes. My adolescent and teenage years are fast becoming a faint memory.
Hughes either directed, produced (or both) some of the most popular and lucrative movies of the 1980's and early 1990's. A glimpse of his brilliance (WARNING: F-bombs aplenty):
John Hughes owned the 80's. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHis movies were funny, clever, and poignant all without being over the top. Now I love crossing the line for humor, but I appreciate and respect that he could make me laugh without having to do so. I don't really get bummed about "celebrities" passing, but his makes me feel a bit sentimental for those days I don't mind tell you.
ReplyDeleteMr. Thorn, you said, "I don't really get bummed about "celebrities" passing, but his makes me feel a bit sentimental for those days..." I believe you've captured it.
ReplyDeleteFor the majority of the 80's, I was in my 20's. His passing makes me too feel a bit sentimental, and also old!
