[Furtherman]

This just in...

John Hughes has died of a heart attack.

Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family.

He directed such '80s hit films as "The Breakfast Club," "Pretty in Pink," "Sixteen Candles" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

He was 59.

Story developing...

scared of the big bad new mod?

[TheMojoPin]

I was talking about his films yesterday with some friends and wondering why he hadn't made anything in so long. Guess the wait is going to be a little longer...it's odd that he basically stopped working in the film industry outside of scattered production and writing credits over the last 18 years. Maybe he was battling illness for a lot of that time?

[Fallon]

Daaaaaamn.

he still wrote and produces a ton in recent years. don't know why he stopped directing.


Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, She's Having a Baby, Uncle Buck, Curly Sue. That's his credits.

5 classics in a row and Uncle Buck. Nice career.

I got my eye on you.

ferdinand, ban this pussy

yes ban. more banning all around :clap:

[TheMojoPin]

Not at all. All of the writing credits in the last decade save for a single film are just credits for the screenplay being based off a story of his or credits for creating characters being used in a sequel. He probably wrote the outlines or basic story or whatever before he "retired." He's only got one actual screepnplay credit post 1998 and that was in 2001. Same thing with production credits. He stopped directing after 1991 (and seemingly only wrote kids movies after that) and then basically stopped everything, directing or writing or producing after 1998. Odd.

[DolaMight]

still..

Why did this get merged?

[underdog]

ferdinand, ban this pussy

Whoever was waiting for him is going to be HOME ALONE tonight.

[disneyspy]

[Fallon]

I wonder if they'll spread his ashes in THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

[underdog]

Looks like he died after making FERRIS BUELLER's DAY OFF.

I'm not very good at this.

[hammersavage]

barring some Weird Science, we'll never hear from him again

Dutch is seriously in my top 10 all time. I love that movie

[TheMojoPin]

Bethany: What exactly brought you to Illinois?

Jay: Some fuck named John Hughes.

Bethany: "Sixteen Candles" John Hughes?

Jay: You know that guy, too? See, all these movies take place in a small town called Shermer, in Illinois, where all the honies are top-shelf, but all the dudes are whiny pussies - except for Judd Nelson, he was fuckin' harsh - but best of all, there was no one dealin', man; then, it hits me: we could live like phat rats if we were the blunt connection in Shermer, Illinois. So we collected some money we were owed, and we caught a bus. You know what the fuck we found out when we got there? There is no Shermer in Illinois. Movies are fuckin' bullshit.

[RADIO-SHARK]

Ferris Bueller Died Off....today...

[disneyspy]

i bet hes not feelin like an uncle buck 3 80

[TheMojoPin]

I called the Coughlin Brothers Mortuary to see about arranging the funeral but all I got was the machine. I hope they get back to me as soon as humanly possible.

[Contra]

I seriously thought he was already dead, since he hasn't done anything in so many years.

[underdog]

Looks like he can finally hear BEETHOVEN'S 5TH live.

[hammersavage]

This is a case for George Peterson, Chicago police

[underdog]

He grabbed his chest as he felt his heart FLUBBER.

[underdog]

His MAID IN MANHATTAN is now out of a job.

[underdog]

John Hughes wishes someone had a defibrillator instead of a DRILLBIT.





TAYLOR.

[underdog]

John Hughes never thought he'd die from a heart attack, he always thought he'd be mauled to death by 101 DALMATIANS.

[underdog]

It would be quite the MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET if he came back to life.

[underdog]

He was trying to REACH THE ROCK but he had a heart attack.

[disneyspy]

I called the Coughlin Brothers Mortuary to see about arranging the funeral but all I got was the machine. I hope they get back to me as soon as humanly possible.

i'm sure it will be SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL funeral!

[Ritalin]

Rooney, you're an asshole.

As a Chicago guy, Hughes films hit the mark for me. Uncle Buck? That's as close to a true Chicago character as you could get. Just another good natured Polack trying to get by.

[Judge Smails]

I heard he was pronounced dead by doctors when he showed no reaction to a SPRUCE GOOSE.





(Am I doin' it right?)

[TheMojoPin]

He shouldn't have tried to throw anyone at his age.

[hammersavage]

he's as dead as Jake Ryan's career

[TheMojoPin]

He shoulda taken it easy with the Pepsi.

[TheMojoPin]

I heard he was actually shot and that eyewitnesses heard the gunman mutter, "keep the change, ya filthy animal" as he stood over the body.

[hammersavage]

Reports are coming in that in reality he died from suffocating under a giant oversized pancake. Godspeed Mr. Hughes...

[TheMojoPin]

I heard he was comically screaming "THOSE AREN'T PILLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSS!!!" as he was going down. What did he mean?

[TheMojoPin]

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.

[hammersavage]

I heard he was comically screaming "THOSE AREN'T PILLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSS!!!" as he was going down. What did he mean?

I think they were clouds.

[TheMojoPin]

I heard he burst out of the woods screaming, "BIG!!! BEAR!!! BIG BEAR!!! BIG BEAR CHASE ME!!!" before dropping dead.

[Furtherman]

His donger needed food.

[mikeyboy]

He'd have more luck playing pick-up sticks with his butt-cheeks than he would coming back to life.

[realmenhatelife]

I guess what they say is true; it's unavoidable, when you get older your heart dies.



Probably already said, but I didn't read the thread.

[hammersavage]

He ate too many nice greasy pork sandwichs served in a dirty ashtray

Schooner Tuna. The Tuna With A Bad Heart

From a fellow alumni,

I'm not going to joke (much). I went to Glenbrook North high school, the same school John Hughes went to. My high school experience wasn't like John Hughes' experience. I never got Saturday detention (or any detention) but I know people who did. We didn't have Ferris Bueller in school (I did know him though) but there were lots of spoiled kids who could get a car at will and ditch school. But I knew exactly what he was talking about and where he was talking about. And when you can say you went to the school Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Ferris Bueler's Day Off, and Breakfast Club was based on, that is cool. And when you got to walk past the set of Uncle Buck every day on your way to school, that is cool too (even if my parents thought the day John Candy was coming to meet kids at my school was the ideal day to do a daddy-daughter day at work and I missed my chance). And I got to drive through fake snow when only the lonely was being filmed, and see the home alone house, and see my local train and grocery in She's Having a Baby. Well, that is pretty cool too. So from someone who lived down the street from your family, is a fellow alumni of your high school, and is now gainfully employed in the entertainment field herself-Rest in peace and you're the man.

PS.-To Kevin Smith Fans, in Dogma they mention Shermertown not being a real place. True, Shermertown was based on Shermerville, which was renamed Northbrook, IL (about a half hour from Chicago-and Molly's cupcakes)

[MagillaGorillaz]

I wonder if they took him to a bar tonight and had little kids sit around him taking pictures.

[fezident]

.... so... I guess we'll never find out what the naked lady said.

[razorboy]

Look what God did, you little jerks.

[A.J.]

I guess he couldn't take the idea that these kids were running the country.

I suppose I'm anxious to see that movie but.... that trailer pissed me the F off.
The music was so loud and disjointed that I couldn't really hear what the people were saying. For a minute... I thought I had another window/video open.

Complete shit.



Movie looks interesting though.
