Finally, today is Molly Ringwald's birthday -- happy 42 -- and since I grew up idolizing her (ohhh, the 80s!) I had to share this great print celebrating The Breakfast Club. It's going for $10 a pop. Isn't it fine?
I should also note that the Oscars will have a tribute to John Hughes this year. That should be fun but I think it's kind of a bummer that the BFCA already went there. And it's a little suspect since I remember my young self being h-o-r-r-i-f-i-e-d when they passed Mr. Hughes over for screenplay nominations for this immortal film. Among others. He was never nominated for an Oscar.

I always loved the basket-case the most. What about you guys?
when i was young i was totally into both Ally & Molly. i could never choose. Give me both princess and basket-case... or better yet, make the princess a basket case!
Do you think they'll get the cast of the Breakfast Club to present the tribute? I think that's about the only way I think it'll work-otherwise (all due respect), Hughes isn't in the same league cinematically as Ingmar Bergman, Billy Wilder, and even Paul Newman, none of which received special Academy tributes.
1984 Original Screenplay:
Places in the Heart/Splash/Beverly Hills Cop/El Norte/Broadway Danny Rose
1985 Original Screenplay:
Witness/Back to the Future/Brazil/ The Official Story/ The Purple Rose of Cairo
vatz -- see and they even went for populist stuff! But no Hughes. I'm confused about him getting a tribute when Lauren freaking Bacall can't get on air.
Those posters were hilarious!
