who the fuck doesn't like jon hughes? if i'd known this was playing before i left north carolina to come back to my cable-television-free existence, i would have watched the shit out of it.

i posted the clip below when the man passed, but it's worth revisiting if only so we can all wonder why we wrote off the let it be of his oeuvre, uncle buck. also, this is a way better mashup then some other one that seems to have racked up a bazillion more youtube hits.

john hughes has passed.





if you had told me this morning that by tonight i would feel a true and sincere urge to add uncle buck to my netflix queue... well, i don't think i would have believed you.

yeah, the second clip's pretty over the top with its kinda sappy emotional manipulation what with the song and all, but that's kinda the point with john hughes flicks, or at least i can sorta defend it that way.

don't think i didn't see you laughing a little bit when anthony michael hall was all scream-crying, you heartless piece of shit.
