John Hughes

fuck michael jackson.
ik ben al het gezeik over deze ooit(vroeger LANG LANG GELEDEN) geniale, witte, kinderliefhebber kotsbeu.
plus
mijn echte grote 80s held is gestorven vandaag.
iemand die meer impact op mijn leven had dan alle fucking michael jacksons.
John Hughes is niet meer!
hij is vandaag overleden aan een hartaanval.
hij was 59.

hughes was de schrijver en regiseur van 2 belangrijke 1980s meesterwerken.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) en The Breakfast Club (1985).
2 geniale tienerfilms
die nog altijd werken

daarnaast schreef en regiseerde hij ook nog deze films:
Curly Sue (1991)
Uncle Buck (1989)
She's Having a Baby (1988)
Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Weird Science (1985)
Sixteen Candles (1984)
die varieren van goed via zeer goed tot bijna geniaal (weird science)

ik had het er een paar dagen geleden nog over.
weird science: TOP FILM
en anthony michael hall had daarvoor ook de nerd in the breakfast club gespeeld
een film die de state of mind van tieners beter weergeeft
dan alle andere films ooit ervoor of erna gemaakt.

maar mijn ultieme favoriete 80s film is zonder twijfel ferris bueller's day off.

ik heb die film 100en keren gezien.
en bekijk em nog zeker een paar keer per jaar.
alex en ik kunnen ons uren bezig houden door deze film te quoten.
oneliner na oneliner.
en dan te bedenken dat hughes deze film in 6 (ZES) dagen heeft geschreven.
sorry maar dat is geniaal.

- The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?"

- Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.

- I don't trust this kid any further than I can throw him.
- Well with your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody... Its true.

- In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics.

- Pardon my French, but you're an asshole! Asshole!

- What's the score?
- Nothin' nothin'.
- Who's winning?
- The Bears.

- You're Abe Froman?
- That's right, I'm Abe Froman.
- The Sausage King of Chicago?
- ... Uh yeah, that's me.
- Look, I'm very busy. Why don't you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?
- Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?
- I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty.
- Snooty?
- Snotty.
- Snotty?


ok, zo kunnen we nog uren door gaan.

John Hughes. RIP.

als je ferris of breakfast club nooit gezien hebt.
ga ze dan nu halen (en pak weird science ook mee)
en bekijk ze.

want:
- Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
