Poll question: If you grew up watching the "Brat Pack" movies, and you saw the John Hughes tribute, you thought....

My thought was "God!, I feel OLD......"

[AwakeAtLast]

1. Um, isn't Charlie Sheen in rehab?

And man, what happened to Judd Nelson?!? :wow:

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. Actually, I was thinking....

"Since when the fuck was Macaulay Culkin part of the Brat Pack??"

[OmahaBlueDog]

19. He's kind of like the Brat Pack's little brother

I suppose I could have also asked where Jennifer Gray was....

3. i was all "wtf" happened to judd nelson? nt

8. Judd Nelson

4. Charlie Sheen is still in high school.

[dysfunctional press]

5. wtf is up with ally sheedy's...chin?

[crispini]

9. Looks like some bad plastic surgery to me...

[Deep13]

13. Hasn't she always had a pointy chin?

Anyway, I think she's aged very well.

15. Technology has improved the procedure since...

... but, time was, x-small athletic supporters
functioned as reasonably serviceable prosthetics.

6. Everyone up there aged horribly

except Matthew Broderick.

Everyone else looks like a mess.

[Arugula Latte]

16. Macaulay Culkin looked incredibly young still.

[AllenVanAllen]

7. Best line from a Hughes film

Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work. - Ferris Bueller

10. Macaulay Culkin should market whatever fountain of youth potion he's

discovered. It works.

[LynneSin]

11. Macaulay is only in his 20s still (and technically was NOT a Brat Pack member)

Home Alone was one of Hughes later films and Macaulay was only 9 when he was in that first film.

All the others were in earlier Hughes films and were teenagers and then some when they did the movies.

[LibDemAlways]

12. I know he was up there because of the Home Alone franchise. Still, he

turns 30 this year and looks exactly like he did when he was 9. So far he hasn't aged at all.

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. Option #2: Ferris Bueller has gray hair?

.
"Ferris Bueller's Gray Coif"

Bueller?

17. Sorry I missed it.

Anthony Michael Hall has turned into one handsome man....

[LeftinOH]

18. I thought Molly Ringwald looked great; it was nice to see her. n/t

[OmahaBlueDog]

21. She does look good, and I have seen her in many things since the 80's

...but, somehow, my mind plays this trick on me. If I haven't seen her in a while, mentally, she reverts to being the Molly Ringwald of "Sixteen Candles."

[SoxFan]

20. I'm the only 42 y/o in America who never saw his movies

So I can't really say.

All i know is that I can't forgive him for ruining the musical paths of Simple Minds and Psychedelic Furs...

[OmahaBlueDog]

22. As a Director, he made two "must see" movies

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" are really his best work, although (in some ways) he is more widely remembered for the brat pack films - "Sixteen Candles", "Pretty in Pink", "Wierd Science", and "The Breakfast Club."

As a writer/producer, the "Vacation" and "Home Alone" films are probably his best achievements.

My personal Hughes favorites, aside from the first two films I mentioned, are "She's Having a Baby", "Uncle Buck", and "Only the Lonely"
