The Balzac of homeroom
Michael Weiss considers John Hughes, Republican ersatz class warrior. It is an elegy for Hughes, dead of a heart attack at 59, and deserves to be read in full. I shall excerpt the immortal words of Ferris Bueller by way of introduction.
-Ism's, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus but it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car.

Despite being right in the Hughesian teen angst demographic while he was at the height of his powers, I didn't actually get around to seeing any of his movies until I was in my 20s.
Most of my teen moviegoing experiences involved guns, boobs and Steven Seagal.
