Bethany: McHenry is pretty far from Jersey, might I ask what brings you guys to Illinois?

Jay: Some fuck named John Hughes.

Bethany: "16 Candles" John Hughes?

Jay: You know him too? That fucking guy. Made this flick "16 Candles" right? Not bad it's got tits in it, but no bush. Of course Ebert over here don't give a shit about that stuff cause he's all in love with this John Hughes guy and rents every one of his movies. Fucking "Breakfast Club" all these stupid kids actually show up to detention, fucking "Weird Science" where this one chick wants to take off her gear and get down, but aw, no she don't cause it's a PG movie, and then there's "Pretty In Pink" which I can't watch with this tubby muthafucker any more, because everytime we get to the part where the red head hooks up with her dream guy, he starts sobbin' like a little eight-year-old with a skinned knee and shit. And nothing is worse then watching a fat man weep.

Not if you were in a popular underground metal band. The people who used to be into that kind of shit, they're the ones who's parties we'd crash and make off with their beer and women.

Jay summed it up pretty well.

Wow. Something in my eye...

I grew up during the '80's and movies got me through some tough times. Tough times that I discovered from John Hughes that we all go through in some way. It made me feel better. I definitely mourn his passing.

I got to be a serious John Candy fan and Uncle Buck was one of my long standing favorites. Interesting to see Hughes reference Candy...

What you guys don't get is Sky's subtle irony here as that is actually a picture of him from when he was with 1984, a Van Halen coverband.

That may be my favorite scene from any of Hughes' movies. Craig Sheffer was just awesome as the main douche, and Koteas somehow seemed tough.

Two Johns ruled my life in the 80s

John Hughes and John Cusack

Thankfully I still have one of them. It's a sad day. I am not sure any film maker will ever again experience what we got to experience. Hollywood movies that actually got us.

Btw Sky, you referencing Weird Science or Some Kind of Wonderful?

My guess is that if you go to Illinois, there's lots of John Cusack fans there too...being one of them, and since the vast majority of my friends from HS are as well. Anecdotal, I know, so maybe it only applies to Chicago/suburban Chicago.

Actually, that makes some sense to me. My sister at Northwestern took me out with her friends to see Gross Point Blank. All her friends had seen it at least one other time, and were absolutely in love with the movie.

Cusack, Piven, and a few others got their acting starts in Chicago. So it makes tons of sense in that respect. Also, there's a Gross Pointe not too far from the NW campus.

I'm from Oklahoma and pretty much everyone I am friends with enjoys John Cusack. Perhaps it's a nerd thing, I've found that those who were nerds/geeks in High School liked him.

John Cusack is good at playing intelligent, motivated guys who always seem to be slightly lost and out of their element. I think people can relate to that.

John Cusack is what I would call watchable. I've yet to see a movie he's in that was fucking terrible to watch because he was in it.
