John Hughes is one of those directors who is, essentially, a genre by themselves. On the one hand, I miss his films and treatment of teenage life and comedy terribly. But on the other hand, they are so everlasting. They aren't timeless - surely my children will dread the day their father makes them watch Ferris Bueller - but they will never feel outdated to me.

By the time this movie came out I was in my early 20s - went to see it because I would read the phone book if Hughes wrote it at the time, and thought it had it's moments, but really Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink were my faves - Molly Ringwald just wasn't loveable in this movie and I thought she was a great actress as well as wierdly hot.

i've gotten used to feeling old.

 

loved that movie. i think that was probably the first movie that told the generation x story....at least from a middle/high school PoV. i think we were probably the first generation whose parents were too busy for them. we were basically the first group of kids to grow up where both parents working full time was the norm and i think we were also the first generation to experience high rates of divorce in our families. it was a rough time to be a kid because no one before us had ever had to go through that stuff. we grew up understanding that life was supposed to be not that different from the way our parents had grown up and all of a sudden the rules of the game changed and we were left to figure it out on our own. parents had high expectations of their kids (which wasn't new) but weren't around to help out.

 

it was good seeing that there were others going through so much of the same thing.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
