Uncle Buck is a classic.

automatic bzooty · 08.07.2009, 12:57 AM

fuck. i still love the breakfast club.

(... i just found out his hometown is lansing, too! omg!)

Rob Instigator · 08.07.2009, 08:30 AM

he wrote weird science.

Rob Instigator · 08.07.2009, 08:31 AM

and Mr. Mom, 16 candles, pretty in pink,

floatingslowly · 08.07.2009, 08:32 AM

I wonder if he's been sick for awhile.

his talent seemed to have dried up recently.

Anngella · 08.07.2009, 08:41 AM

Every movie that was mentioned (that I've seen - which actually isn't that much, but still) I love. RIP

noisereductions · 08.07.2009, 08:44 AM

He was amazing. And this is why (1) shit was hilarious, obviously. But more importantly (2) shit had heart. A lot of heart. Which is what's missing from a lot comedies now. People forget that escapism doesn't mean you have to escape from yr feelings. (yeah, that sounds emo -- but I'm being for realz.)

He was a great writer, with more "classics" under his bealt than most ppl realized. and he will be missed.

Rob Instigator · 08.07.2009, 08:50 AM

he stopped working in hollywood around 1999 or so too much. he was sick of the whole bullshit and so he just kinda chilled.

heart attacks get the sick and the healthy.

noisereductions · 08.07.2009, 08:53 AM

I always wished that he made this:

Jaws 3: People 0 – a parody sequel to the popular series

I think a screenplay exists. They should make it in tribute to him. Cast all the BratPack kids and all that. Would be awesome.

floatingslowly · 08.07.2009, 09:02 AM

it's going to be hard to top Jaws - The Revenge (this time it's personal).

I believe that was the closest that I've ever been to throwing a brick through my tv set.

noisereductions · 08.07.2009, 09:10 AM

is that the one with Mario Van Peebles?

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 08.07.2009, 01:32 PM

Talk about a motherfucking bummer. He was a Michigander as well...

R.I.P. John Hughes,

We will never forget about you.

There has been a real lack of truly funny comedies for a looooong time. All we have is those romantic ones, moronic teen gross-out comedies, and ultra-lame "parody" movies.

Actually it's not just comedies, in my opinion. There were some good movies in the 1990s but it's been a downhill slide.

Wasn't it great grrowing up in the eighties?
