Sixteen Candles
Creator of Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, and The Breakfast Club, director/writer John Hughes, died today. According to TMZ, "Hughes suffered [a] heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family." He was only 59.
Sigh.
Feel free to leave us with one of your favorite lines from a Hughes movie. We're too crestfallen to come up with one.

Week Around the Ists


Props to those of us who were 16 when 16 Candles came out.
"... enjoy every sandwich." RIP Mr Hughes.
DONG, WHERE'S MY AUTOMOBILE?!?!
automobiiilleeee?
Lake. Big Lake.
What the hell are you bitchin' about? I gotta sleep under some Chinaman named after a duck's dork.
Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?
many of his movies kinda sucked.........never came close to the great work he did at National Lampoon

Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, IT'LL BE ANARCHY.

Godspeed Mr. Hughes, and thanks.

No more yanky my wanky. Donger need food!
I can't believe I gave a geek my panties.
"My heroes were John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on." - John Hughes
a great filmmaker indeed. Ferris Bueller is Plug2's favorite movie of all time. she can, in fact, recite that movie line for line, especially if she has been drinking.
with that, looks like we're getting drunk tonight and watching Ferris Bueller for the 3,895,742,309,857,423rd time!
That's the last time, Bender. That the last time you ever make me look bad in front of those kids, you hear me? I make $31,000 a year and I have a home and I'm not about to throw it all away on some punk like you.
But someday when you're outta here and you've forgotten all about this place and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own pathetic life,
I'm gonna be there. That's right. And I'm gonna kick the living shit out of you. I'm gonna knock your dick in the dirt.
Awesome. I remember watching that scene and my sister telling me, in all seriousness, "That's how high school really is..."
You break his heart I break your face.
"I just wanna know how one becomes a janitor because Andrew here is very interested in pursuing a career in the custodial arts."
"Well, Brian’s trying to tell me that in addition to the number of girls in the Niagara Falls area, that presently you and he are riding the hobby horse."
"We don't have none of this stuff in the boy's room! Wait a minute! We don't got none of this... we don't got doors on the stalls in the boy's room, we don't have, what is this? What's this? We don't have a candy machine in the boy's room!"
"It's Walter Mondale."
"Hi, I'm Mitch Murphy. I live across the street. You guys going out of town? We're going to Orlando, Florida. Well, actually, first we're going to Missouri to pick up my grandma. Did you know the McCallisters are going to France? Do you know if it's cold there? Do these vans get good gas mileage?"
And basically anything Steff said in Pretty in Pink whilst wearing a linen suit to high school and smoking in the hallways...
A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.

"Nothin' to do when you're locked in a vacancy."
"A big party with a band and tons of people..and a pink Trans Am in the driveway with a ribbon around it, and some incredibly gorgeous guy you meet like in France, and you do it on a cloud without getting pregnant or herpies."
"This is Farmer Fred"
"Ted"
Oh, I'm sorry, this is Farmer Ted."
"I'm not really a farmer, I'm a freshman."
No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food.
OR
I can't believe this. They fucking forgot my birthday.
I can see you getting all bunged up for them making you wear these kind of clothes. But face it, you are a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie
Bender: So what do you guys do in your club?
AMH: In physics, well we talk about physics...properties of physics
Bender: So its sorta social. Demented and sad, but social.
*FYI, I still can be found to say to my colleagues, hand signal fully deployed - "Don't mess with the bull, you'll get the horns" RIP John Hughes
"Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
Yo, wastoid, you`re not gonna blaze up in here!
"Weez, we got $70 and a pair of girls' underpants. We're safe as kittens." -- Farmer Ted, Sixteen Candles
"Who would marry her?"
"Mr. T"
"Gummy bear? They've been in my pocket. It's real warm and soft."
In...what.....WAAAAAAAY...does the author's use of prison...
*teacher takes chalk and draws prison bars through PRISON written on chalkboard*
"Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?"
- that's alright son, you can do it on the boat!
- did I stutter?
"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."
"His name is Blane? Oh! That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"
Rest in peace Mr. Hughes. You made my awful pre-teen & teen years bearable.

"Buzz, your girlfriend! Woof!"
"I just want them to know that they didn't break me."
Chicks cannot hold their smoke, dat's what it is.
Now make yourself one.
