    First Robert Isabell. Then John Hughes.

    Anthony Michael Hall, now would be a good time to get your blood pressure checked. And if Molly Ringwald offers you a drink, politely turn it down.

    Well. I'm not surprised. Party Planning is a very stressful job.

    Yes, this is far more sad than the thousands upon thousands of people who had big plans, and the market had other thoughts. And who are now being evicted from their homes, with children or medical issues or no job, and with no place to go.

    I guess I have less sympathy for a high-end party planner trying to reno and flip a $50 mil building that required always-finicky and slow landmarks approval. Just Googling you can get a sense of what he would have had to go through despite any market issues.

    There's also the little matter that their falling out was caused by Molly Ringwald saying that Hughes had "gone Hollywood" between Sixteen Candles and Pretty In Pink because he showed up dressed like Don Johnson. The irony is that Hughes would later leave Hollywood because of the fear of this happening to his family. So no one pisses you off as much as someone who was right.

    Are actors and directors really best friends during and post shoot? I would have a hard time writing a eulogy for a boss from 20 years ago. Molly and Anthony were just kids at the time so they were in their own little teen bubbles.

    @Queen of the Passive Aggressives:
    It depends on the job.
    Tomorrow night I'm going to a ten year reunion for a play I did in high school. Just a simple school play from a decade ago, but something really clicked, and it's a happy memory for me. I've been getting oddly sentimental thinking about it.
    Turns out the director is putting on the very same play this year with a new group of kids, to mark the occasion. So I guess it made an impression on him too.

    A whole lot of guessing here per Molly Ringwald's op ed but... Perhaps John Hughes wanted his imaginary film world i.e. righting the wrongs of his own teenage life to go on indefinitely? Or at least taking the characters to the point where they met their own wives/husbands, (and had kids of his own). I'm wondering if that's why he held such a grudge against Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall for refusing his other pictures. Maybe they just left the party before he was cinematically done.

    I always loved Molly Ringwald, growing up. But there is something so insincere sounding about this op-ed. I don't mean that in any way other than it seems to centered around herself. I don't know. Maybe they're supposed to be like that.

    @moosesanddeers: I don't know, I was with it up until that last bit, but I tend to agree. It was all a bit like Brooke Shields at Michael Jackson's funeral, eulogizing someone she didn't know for the last twenty years, comparing him to fictional characters. The ending was weak, but I appreciate the bit about him holding a grudge, and the acknowledgment even from someone whose career was indebted to him that his post-Ringwald films weren't nearly as affecting.

    @moosesanddeers: I see your point. I went through this thing three times looking for something that was really revealing or insightful about Hughes. All she's saying is, he was nice to her when she was in his movies. The End.

    @moosesanddeers: that was maybe the shmaltziest piece I've ever read in the Times.
    "Turns out, you can return to Neverland. At least for a little while." Sounds like something a 16-year-old would write for her personal narrative paper in junior English.

    yeah, there are oodles of Hughes tribute posts everywhere and i think almost all my facebook pals did the "what john hughes character are you" poll. But one of my favorites is the woman who did a post about being John Hughes penpal. It's totally sweet:

    Thanks. I forgot why I disliked that movie, which I found barely watchable. That character was a racist caricature set in a trivial portrait of upper middle class white family life.

    @1.1.1.: I think this is a totally valid response, and I can't argue with it. Nonetheless, I liked that movie, I guess because I identified with the Molly Ringwald character. I winced at the awful caricature of the Gedde Watanabe role, and wished I could fully hate the movie for it, and felt as if I should, but I didn't.

    Excellent digging. Hot diggety digging (wow that's annoying). But did he and Molly Ringwald hook up??
    Btw, now the targeted facebook ads are going to try to sell me backhoes. We talk about Vodka on here, they sell me vodka. We talk about Kathy Götterdämmerung Griffin, and now they want me to buy her book. How are they doing this? Traditionally you fuck with people and sell them things with the help of tracking cookies, but my pc don't have any. How is secret gawker blathering being used to sell me shit on facebook? (No coincidence... it's happened far too many times)
