A Big Ten Football Tribute to John Hughes and his Movies
2009-08-11 18:54:00 John Hughes was a genius, a one of a kind talent who blessed the world with comedic gems such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, National Lampoon's Vacation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Mr. Mom, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Home Alone, Uncle Buck and more.Sadly, Hughes left the world prematurely after dying of a heart attack at age 59 just a few short days ago.

Don't You Forget About John Hughes
2009-08-10 20:47:00 Sometimes a movie can turn from just a film into a cultural landmark; the kind of reference material utilized by comics everywhere in witty asides, often a nostalgic bit of entertainment from childhood, revisited with the eyes of an adult. (Oh...that's what happened in Dirty Dancing!) ...
John Hughes - Who knew he was from Detroit?
2009-08-08 21:59:00 There is something about death that makes people more interesting. Where did John Hughes rank on the search engines last week before his sudden passing on Thursday? Where will he rank this weekend? As many of us certainly did, I explored Google to learn what I could about the man who brought us such '80's classics as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club." Knowing that Hughes attended high school in the north 'burbs, I just assumed the Hollywood director was a born and raised Chicago kid. Turns out he was from Detroit. And the ties stuck. "I grew up in the Detroit area, so I'm sort of happy right now," Hughes said to NHL.com at the Winter...

John Hughes & Chicago
2009-08-07 04:45:00 I just had to comment that I can't truly find a John Hughes "stinker" in his history. He was a complete stud who captured every moment and scenario he wrote about. The closest I came to his glory was sharing an apartment building with Ally Sheedy in 1990 in Chicago. And I still love Captain Crunch and Pixie Stick sandwiches. Goodbye to a complete star....

What's your favorite John Hughes movie?
2009-08-07 02:01:00 John Hughes died earlier today at the age of 59. Growing up in the 80's I vaguely remember his movies! I grew up in the country and the closest movie theater was more than 20 miles away and there was only one screen, so I didn't see a lot of movies, instead I knew about a lot of movies.It wasn't until I moved away from home and VCR's became popular that I fell in love with John Hughes. I'm embarrassed to say my favorite movie of his is "Baby's Day Out," and not because it's a classical masterpiece. No, it's because the first time that I ever visited Chicago - we watched them film several scenes from that movie right by our...

John Hughes Dead at 59
2009-08-06 23:24:00 Today Chicago icon John Hughes died at age 59. If you're of my generation and of Chicago stock, you grew up with John Hughes' movies, rolling your eyes as your parents repeatedly pointed out their high schools, their friends' high schools, houses on their former block, and high schools in your neighborhood every time you watched a John Hughes movies. Of all the John Hughes movies, there's never been one that could touch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." At one point, I could recite the enire movie the whole way through, and I can still do pretty well if the movie is on in front of me. Not to mention that I go into a two minute monologue every...

Ralph Hughes, Brian Blair, and Mark Sanford Prove Themselves Typical
2009-06-25 02:48:00 Three Republicans continue The Suck. Ralph Hughes died owing more than $60 million in back taxes. Brian Blair beat the shit out of his teenage sons on Father’s Day. Mark Sanford cheated on his wife. None of this surprises me. A rich man gets greedy and leaves his heirs to deal with the consequences? Yawn. Wake me when Wall Street 2 comes out. A former wrestler produces two problem children and beats them when they turn out like their old man? Yawn. Wake me when Brian Blair and Hulk Hogan star in their own reality show. And I don’t even care about what Mark Sanford does…I mean, have you seen his wife or heard her go on and on about The Lord? Christ. Don’t cry for him, Argentina. I try very hard not to get angry about what is typical.What really pisses me off is the goddamn hypocrisy. Ralph Hughes, Mr. Moral Courage Award, supported politicians who railed against welfare moms and illegal immigrants. He hailed himself as fiscally conservative and hated peop...

A Poem by Langston Hughes
2009-06-07 23:00:00 Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,I heard a Negro play.Down on Lenox Avenue the other nightBy the pale dull pallor of an old gas lightHe did a lazy sway ....He did a lazy sway ....To the tune o' those Weary Blues.With his ebony hands on each ivory keyHe made that poor piano moan with melody.O Blues!Swaying to and fro on his rickety stoolHe played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool.Sweet Blues!Coming from a black man's soul.O Blues!In a deep song voice with a melancholy toneI heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan--"Ain't got nobody in all this world,Ain't got nobody but ma self.I's gwine to quit ma frownin'And put ma troubles on the shelf."Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.He played a few chords then he sang some more--"I got the Weary BluesAnd I can't be satisfied.Got the Weary BluesAnd can't be satisfied--I ain't happy no mo'And I wish that I had died."And far into the night he crooned that tune.The stars wen...

It'd be like a John Hughes movie, and I might be the cool guy this time!
2009-01-23 15:11:00 I feel like I would be pretty good at school if I were to try it again.Not at the academic part. Not that at all. Helping Middle and The Boy study for exams this week has shown me that -- I barely understand how to read their textbooks, let alone the information contained in those books.No, I mean I would be pretty good at the social part, because the extra 22 years of experience I've gained since high school has left me with the ability to do what it takes to succeed in high school. If I went back, this time, I'd be cool and funny and hip and guys would want to hang around with me and girls would actually go on dates with me...... Oh, who am I kidding? It'd be the same this time around, wouldn't it? Just entering a high school makes me realize that. All I have to do is hear my shoes making that little squeak on the kinds of tiles that only high schools have, and I'm done; I regress back to the same person I was in 1986, only with less hair (which is not all that bad, as ...

Howard Hughes Medical Insitute's (HHMI) $11 billion in assets and CBS's Si
2008-06-09 02:16:00 WOW! I just watched a fascinating segment on CBS's Sixty-Minutes about the Howard Hughes Medical Insitute (HHMI). I had never heard of HHMI and its $11 billion in assets to fund medical research. I immediately visited its web site and searched for information about its grants for mental health research. Here is a short summary of one of its many grants:Molecule Provides a Missing Link in Understanding Depression Researchers have discovered a regulatory molecule that links faulty dopamine signaling in the brain to the neural machinery that breaks down in people who suffer from depression. The findings may explain why commonly prescribed antidepressants can take weeks to work and why the drugs are ineffective for some people. The researchers said their findings could open the way for the development of antidepressant drugs with improved efficacy. The researchers, led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator Li-Huei Tsai at Harvard Medical School, published their...

UFC 85 Bedlam Hughes vs Alves Betting Odds
2008-06-06 21:25:00 All of the betting odds are listed for tomorrow’s UFC 85 event. Brandon Vera (-200) is favored over Fabricio Werdum (+160), Nate Marquardt (-170) is favored over Thales Leites (+140), Hughes (-220) gets a strong advantage over Alves (+170), Swick (-125) slightly favored over Marcus Davis (-105), Wiman holy crap! +350 to -500 for Thiago Tavares! Bisping is favored (of course), -350 over Jason Day +250, Rivera +175 to Kampmann -220, Cane +115 to -145 Lambert, Liaudin +190 to Taylor -240. So, who would I put my money on? I think I’d roll the dice, drop a hundy down on Wiman and possibly take home the 350… It’s a risky bet, however, it looks like fun.
UFC 85, Matt Hughes vs Thaigo Alves, Bisping vs Day, Swick vs Davis and Mor
2008-06-06 21:12:00 What a month for MMA, first UFC 84, then EliteXC featuring Kimbo Slice, then WEC Faber vs Pulver and now UFC 85, something new each week, does it get better than this? Get your video recorder out, UFC 85 is coming through with a stacked fight card. In my opinion, the main event isn’t so outstanding, however, the other fights for the night are. The fight card for the night is: Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves Michael Bisping vs Jason Day Marcus Davis vs Mike Swick (Insane!) Nate Marquardt vs Thales Leites Brand Vera vs Fabricio Werdium (awesome!) Jorge Rivera vs Martin Kampmann Matt Wiman vs Thiago Tavares (sweet) Ryo Chonan vs Roan Carneiro Luiz Cane vs Jason Lambert Paul Taylor vs Jess Liaudin (Taylor can bang!) Antoni Hardonk vs Eddie Sanchaz (Eddite, watch the legs, he’s gonna chop!) It’s going to be an awesome night of fights… the UFC keeps bringing it.
