The latest victim: your childhood.
It brings me great sadness to report that John Hughes, director of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, has died of a heart attack at the age of 59.
Weep for another victim of Summer 09; weep for the 80s; weep for yourselves, good people of Providence.
I’m usually such a cheery boy – who knew I could be so macabre!
I was thinking about posting something, but you’ve staked out that death beat real solid, and I didn’t want to start a turf war.
