The Brat Pack Pays Tribute to John Hughes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Schmoopie · 08-08-2009, 04:22 AM

I found this article on ABC.com and it's really touching to read the actors/actresses comments on this great man. I hope they do a TV tribute to him as well. I'm sure a Biography show on John Hughes will surface soon, but I would also like to see some interviews with the celebs, too.

I still cannot get over the fact that it was Bill Paxton playing Chet (Wyatt's older brother) in "Weird Science"!!! Talk about a personality change!

In all seriousness, though... it makes me sad to read the comments by the stars of his movies. Hard to believe he's gone. I mentioned this in another thread but I was hoping he would do a movie about "40-somethings". In other words, a movie with people my age who were high schoolers in the 80's. If he was so hip as to what teens back then were thinking and feeling, I'm sure he would have no trouble reading them as 40 year olds!
