R.I.P. John Hughes

We lost a good one yesterday. The man who gave us Ferris Bueller; The Griswolds; Trains, Planes and Automobiles; Uncles Buck; Home Alone; 16 Candles; The Breakfast Club and many many more. John Hughes was a great Chicagoan and a great film maker. He was 59.
Check out this tribute video. Could have been more comprehensive, but mad props for the use of Baba O'Reilly:

LEAVE ‘EM ALONE / TAKE YER SHOTS

"Leave the man alone. And leave me alone. And let it go...let...it...go." - The Rick
I find that much of the mainstream media places equal blame on anyone who slips up, whether they say the wrong thing or kill their ex-wife - as long as it leads to scandal. Do Fox News and CNN have you all bent out of shape and confused? Not sure who you should hate and who should get a free pass? Wild Bill is here to clear all that up with a brand new feature I like to call "LEAVE 'EM ALONE / TAKE YER SHOTS"

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Filmmaking

Are Times really as bad as we claim? Hollywood doesn't seem to think so. The gritty realness of the 70's has been replaced with dark comedies and depressing subject matter. When our children's children watch the films of the great recession era, they'll know we were bummed, but they won't have a clue as to why. Comic book flicks and stoner comedies fail to sum up the collective emotion of our nation the way "Mean Streets" or "Dog Day Afternoon" did in the 1970's. Ambiguous but well portrayed anti-heroes will never capture the human condition the way Travis Bickle or even Reg Dunlap did. Watching films from that era, you understand how people felt as the economy tanked, factories closed and the Bronx Burned. You get a sense of the uneasy feeling as progress turned to violent civil unrest. ...
