They have rent-a-shoes! And rent-a-foot disease!

I'm quite surprised how saddened I am over the death of John Hughes. I didn't know much about the writer-director, but his work filled my childhood. In his heyday, I was too young to relate to the 80's high school scene, some of his other movies are my all-time favorites: Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Planes, Trains & Automobiles (just to name a few). My co-worker sent me this amazing tribute that sums up Hughes as a person and the relationship he had with his audience: it shines a bright light on why he was so damn good at his job. *This post title was lifted from Uncle Buck. Still quotable, after all these years.
