I shouldn't even be here right now. I SHOULD BE GETTING INTO MY COSTUME! If I don't hurry, my facepaint won't be dry before I get to the MOONVIE theater, and everyone will be like "hahah, you look like you're...

Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
The Videogum Movie Club: 2012
Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....

Not cool, Gabe. I am at work! I am trying to get paid!!!! There's no crying in trying to get paid!!
To have come of age at a time when he was showing America what coming of age means... It pains me/warms my heart to remember 15year old me watching 16 Candles for the first time. Thank you John Hughes for Molly Ringwald, Watts, Kevin McAllister, and Ferris Bueller. Seriously, his death has got me all fucked up today.

Don't be shy
Just let you feelings roll on by

So don't be shy, just let you feelings roll on by

I can only speak for myself here, but man, this sucks major balls. Not to be cliche, but he defined an era. I remember seeing "The Breakfast Club" at the theater (shutup), and going back several times. Not to mention, the man wrote some of the best scripts ever. RIP, Mr. Hughes. We won't...forgetaboutyou.

Its so odd to see such a touching piece of humanity shine through the dark and disgusting series of tubes that is the internets. For a moment, I almost feel like human emotions might not be rendered obsolete by the impending Skynet takeover. Almost.
Score = 3
I still haven't allowed myself to process this one. I keep suppressing the emotions. Tonight in Atlanta, I am attending a special screening of Uncle Buck in remembrance of John Hughes. Most likely, I will connect with the loss at the screening and start crying like a baby.

DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME), GUYS
