John Hughes just died

John Hughes, the writer and director who is mostly well known for era-defining crap like “Sixteen Candles” and “the Breakfast Club”, not to mention the “Home Alone” movies, died today of a heart attack at the age of 59.

But I’m not here to trash the dude, because he also wrote “the Great Outdoors” and wrote and directed “Uncle Buck” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”. People forget how awesome John Candy was, which sucks because, as previously implied, he was awesome. He died way too young at the age of 44, and the world of comedy was lesser for it. Although considering he was morbidly obese, 44 was practically immortal.
