Check out this awesome blog post from a woman who was penpals with John Hughes in the 1980s. Awesome!

This, so much. What is it about 2009?
At the risk of hijacking the thread, I’m someone who grew up being subjected to insults equating me w/ an ugly dog. Even if it’s a “cute kid” saying the line, I’m really wishing a different quote would’ve been used here to remember Hughes.
and to try to get back on thread, I’ll offer lines from my favorite Hughes movie…
Richard Vernon:
Well, well. Here we are. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you’re here. You may not talk, you will not move from these seats. Any questions?
John Bender:
Yeah. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
Long. Duk. Dong.
Not everyone mourns John Hughes that much…for our own reasons.
Not to mention the implied date-rape scene for laughs in Sixteen Candles…
