Nooooooooooo! Quite literally, the 80s are dying this year. I'm so sad.
I'm going home and watching Pretty in Pink.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 5:33pmRIP. He directed some of my favorite movies. I can recite just about all of Sixteen Candles by heart.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 5:37pmThe angst of the teenage years was perfectly captured in Sixteen Candles, one of my favorite movies. It still cracks me up when ever I see it.

Posted: 8/6/09 at 5:41pmI worshiped his movies when I was a teenager. I'm so saddened by this.

I still think SIXTEEN CANDLES is the most visible fun I've seen a director have with a film - and, like Otis, I can still quote almost the entire flick (including sound cues!)
So young, he was. RIP.

This made me cry.
I must have saw the Breakfast club every week for three months when it was first released at the movies.
RIP.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Unbelievable! I remember when his movies were dismissed as "something the kids get excited about" and now those movies are held up as eighties comedy classics.
Oddly enough, my favorite one is SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
