John Hughes Passed Away

hughes0807.JPGAs you've surely already heard by now, legendary 80's director John Hughes passed away yesterday at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack while taking his morning walk in New York City. He will be remembered for iconic films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, Home Alone, The Breakfast Club, all of (the good) Vacation movies and Sixteen Candles.

On the other hand, he won't be remembered for films such as Curly Sue, Baby's Day Out, Home Alone (parts 2 and 3) Beethoven and Drillbit Taylor -- because everybody's hot streak has got to end sometime, Judd Apatow.

Either way, he will most certainly be missed. R.I.P., Mr. Hughes.

murray, i absolutely LOVE curly sue. Weird fact, I believe Steve Carrell has a non-speaking part in the movie as a waiter at the ritzy restaurant. I think it was his first movie part.
