"Smoke up, Johnny!"

R.I.P. John Hughes.

Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with e-cigs. Just wanted to post the quote. Seemed like a good place.

 

[AaronCPgh]

Amen. RIP John Hughes.

He was a God amongst teens in the 80's. He will be missed.

Breakfast Club FTW

 

[ravengrim]

I grew up watching his movies.
It's too bad the world wasn't more like the one he showed us in his films.
RIP John Hughes

 

[Moobyghost]

He made me want to live in Shermer Illinois.

Good on ya! Perfect quote for the occasion.

From 1984-1987 I lived and breathed this guy... I graduated high school in 1982. Looks like it's a John Hughes marathon tonight.

 

[Kimpetuous]

I'm terribly sad.

 

[Applejackson]

I must've watched Weird Science 100 times when I was a kid.

[Applejackson]

Awesome tribute. You're kinda looking like Uncle Buck in your avatar there. You need to get the big wool overcoat.

 

[Moobyghost]

God I would die in a big wool overcoat. I get enough insulation now as it is. lol.

I can't even imagine the 80's without his movies. Graduated high school in '86 and those movies helped me realize I wasn't the only weirdo on the planet . It took me months of talking to get my son to watch Breakfast Club when he was about 13 and full of that "I'm the only one who feels this way" teen angst. Once I got him to sit down and watch it he was hooked. It was a great bonding experience. He and his friends still watch it on a regular basis and I get to watch it with them sometimes when they're not being too cool to hang out with mom. Another upshot is that after that when I tell him he should watch a movie and he tries to shoot me down I can say "remember when I told you to watch Breakfast Club" and he shuts up and takes my advice. Wish that worked on other things .

My husband and I are both big John Hughes fans. Although in all honesty, I don't know many people our age (44) that didn't love his movies back then. My oldest daughter (17) loves The Breakfast Club. There are so many little "lessons" in his movies. The day/evening of Aug. 6th, I watched my favs: Weird Science, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and The Breakfast Club.

I think the Brits find it more of a curse word than us Yanks... and I'm pretty sure this is a British run site.

Applejackson,

Thanks!

Everytime I see your posts, I look at your avatar and it makes me think your playing pinball. Is that what your doing in that pic?

Heh. Nope. I'm just sitting smoking an analog. The lighting was very dim and red causing the auto camera to keep the lens open longer which is why there's a ghost image of my arm going up to the cigarette in my mouth. It's in my old bedroom. I had no pinball machine, but I wish I did!
