Jeez. I almost forgot it was the Summer of Death. Now I remember. He died of a heart attack this morning. He was only 59. :(.
You will be missed, John Hughes. You're in heaven now, going easy on the Pepsi with the angels.

Rip Torn's eyes would barely open and his face was a ravaged, haggard, stubbly mess. His chapped lips stuck together, and the pavement had left a red, mottled impression against his cheek. He looked around blearily, barely able to focus...

I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you!
Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam.

He hadn't written a movie since '98. Hadn't directed since '91. Which always made me sad.
But as Ferris would say, at least he took the time to stop and look around for awhile.
This makes me so, so sad. What a joyful man.
