John Hughes 1950-2009

John Hughes has left us. It was not until after college, but he really did get it better than anyone else. How did he know us so well? Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach and Gregg Mottola are his cinematic heirs, but John Hughes got it right first. He made the high school bearable. He made being a teenager bearable. Thank you John Hughes. You will be missed.

Ricardo Montalban Has Left Us As Well...

Ricardo Montalban has died today as well at the age of 88. Sure, I first knew him as Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island, but he was one of the greatest villains in the Star Trek universe too.   He was so cool and cunning as in Space Seed and Star Trek II: The Wrath Of The Khan. He was wonderful as Armando in Escape From The Planet Of The Apes and Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes as well. He was always professional. He was great in The Naked Gun and the Spy Kids films as well.  He did a lot of great television work throughout his whole career.    

       

Patrick McGoohan Has Left Us

Patrick McGoohan will always be Number Six from one of my favorite televsion series, The Prisoner, but he was so much more. He will be greatly missed.  He died at the age of 80 in Los Angeles. I always liked him Ice Station Zebra and Scanners too.
