i just finished re-watching the Breakfast club...and damn...i just realized that John Hughes is a very VERY good filmmaker...I'd say hes aproaching Smith status...i just read in Yahoo that hes releasing a box set with pretty in pink, the breakfast club, and wierd science contained within...wow im exited...hehe....just thought i'd bring him up as a discussion topic

And don't forget about "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", He is credited as the writer.

"Where going to have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny-[censored]-K!" - Clark W. Griswold Jr.

He wrote the first 3 Vacations, as well as NL's Class Reunion, and quite a few episodes of the short lived Delta House, the tv show they tried to make of Animal House.

Approaching Kevin Smith? Do you have any idea who Kev cites as a major influence? DO you know WHY they were going to Shermer in Dogma? That fictional Chicago suburb created by Mr. Hughes? Sure, Kev hasn't done "Baby's Day Out" yet, but pay some respect! Bow at the alter of Hughes!

Wanna read the original short for Vacation?
