John Hughes 1950-2009

Like everyone else mostly over 30 Im sad that John Hughes died. I never really realized how big of an impact his career had on American culture until now. I lost interest sometime about mid 90's, looking back I dont think Hughes really fell off or anything he just stopped writing movies for himself and started writing for his family. Of course as with all things the forums and message boards are whining, yeah the Long Duk Dong thing is racist but in no way is it hateful. I understand that many Am-Asians probably took alot of shit in the 80's for that and that sucks but it had nothing to do with Hughes. I personally relate... things like this got me made fun of growing up, its still a funny well written bit (about stereotypes no less).
