I am beyond words. What a devastating loss for our generation and somber reminder of the passage of time for us [:(]

He was firmly a part of our childhood. Our own new wave icon. R.I.P.[:(]

You were so not a child in 1984, no matter that your profile says that you've been 40 for the last few years. [}:)][;)]

Just saw this on the TV news. I loved his movies. I'd consider reading his biography.

Very sad, indeed! Who doesn't have a favorite movie that John Hughes didn't have his hands all over?
A fitting tribute would be to turn a quote from [i]Ferris Bueller's Day Off[/i] towards the master:

[i]"Oh, he's very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude".[/i]

Yes, we all will miss you, John!

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

I just turned on my computer and yahoo homepage had this headline...

[b]'80s teen flick director John Hughes dies in NYC[/b]

I came here first to see what you guys have posted ... I'm beyond words, he was way to young to die, I blame M. Jackson...

Thanks Marv, that was a great read. I was blown away when I heard the news. I have just about every one of his films either on VHS/DVD and some on both. Very sad.

RIP

Life's what you make it.

Here's a short read from Molly Ringwald in yesterday's NYTimes. I had the rare opportunity to meet her in person along with Ally Sheedy and Alan Alda while they were filming scenes of Betsy's Wedding in NYC. It was unforgettable, being a fan of the JH flicks and I was really pleased to see such a heartfelt and revealing article about her relationship with the director.
