  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Man that is sad.  I was hoping he would make a comeback at some point.

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. I didn't recognise the name, really.....and I just watched Sixteen Candles, last night. Was gonna write up a review an all. May still.

Incidentally, I guess there's not going to be any sequel. Yes, up until a couple/few years ago, Molly Ringwald was talking about its immanence.

That's next, sitting here on something, I just haven't put it in, yet. Coming Monday I think is the breakfast club, which I think is my favorite of the three, perhaps of all Hughes' films. Not a Hughes movie, but a brat pack one, I remember Class being pretty damn good.

Have not understood this thought, and I'm seeing it everywhere... he was steadily writing screenplays up until the end.  We can thank him for all the Beethoven movies.   :P



Comeback was probably not the best choice of words.  He had not directed a movie since 1991.  While he has written a few movies since then most of his credits are "characters by" for sequels he had nothing to do with.   His last true screenplay was 2001 and even that was a re-write of a french comedy.

Was he home alone when he died?
