Some sad news…

Odds are you didn’t go to high school with John Hughes. Odds are it sure seemed like you did. Hughes, the popular, almost-mythical filmmaker who made teen angst hurt so good in biting comedies such as Sixteen Candles, only to leave Generation Xers largely on their own as the Molly Ringwald-ruled 1980s ended, died after suffering a sudden heart attack during a walk this morning in Manhattan. He was 59.

Along with writing and directing movies like “The Breakfast Club”, he wrote “Home Alone”, Glen’s favorite movie, “Home Alone 2”, “101 Dalmatians” with Glenn Close, and “Flubber”.
