RIP John Hughes: "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "

Even though I was in high school in the mid-90's, when John Hughes was on the down slope of his career, John Hughes defined my high school days.



Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
...and an athlete...
...and a basket case...
...a princess...
...and a criminal...
Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

John Hughes movies are with us all the time, I was amazed to learn he hadn't directed one since 1991. He'll be missed.
