Which half?

I *MIGHT* be wrong - but I'm guessing the "Renato" half, the "Renee" half being another person.

John Hughes, 80's director known for his movies "The Breakfast Club", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and "Home Alone" died today at age 59.

Great movies.

OMG, Home Alone <3 Breakfast Club is pretty good too, it actually has one of my favourite quotes of any movie, ever in it.

That's sad.

 

[RCF]

I know I watch The Breakfast Club all the time. He directed National Lampoon's Vacation too.

Is this it?

 

[AmandaPanda]

yea I think so.

Good good
Such a shame though, I cried when I watched a documentary about him today! :cry:

 

[RCF]

Yea i know. I am absolutely fascinated with the WW's (particularly WWII) and there goes really the last piece of history from that time.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

^ Yeah, same. I didn't even see anything about his death on the news or anything, and this needs to be televised or at least recognized far more than Michael Jackson's case needs to be, which is still all that is on.

It makes me mad, it really does.

 

[AmandaPanda]

^ I totally agree, and there is ANOTHER program on the BBC I think, dedicated to MJ, GET OVER IT!!! How many weeks was it now, jesus, it's not like this guy was a profit or something, I liked his music but not THAT much!

 

[RCF]
