Join the Quest For Answers in Defamer’s John Hughes Q&A Challenge

Picking up on director John Hughes where our recent appreciations, laments and inquiries left off, Patrick Goldstein today has a more sweeping survey of the prolific filmmaker-turned-Great Lakes recluse. Of course we all know he’s missed, as Goldstein’s sources avowedly confirm (and despite his pseudonymous, decades-old contributions to Drillbit Taylor). But with little apparent likelihood for the director to return to work, we at Defamer are compelled to take matters into our own hands with our ambitious John Hughes Q&A Challenge. Allow us to explain after the jump.

    What killed Molly Ringwald’s career? Was it a result of typecasting as a sassy but loveable cool girl? Or was it because of the lame scripts that she had to read playing the above character(s).

    Wow, you guys are way off as to where Mr. Hughes is living. But, whatever! If I was him i would stay in hiding too. Some of you are just cruel. One thing about john hughes’s films are: they are good family movies, and decent, and funny. You definitely dont see movies like that anymore. It’s all about sex and shit, and honestly with everything going on these days, we dont need our teens,growing up, and watching all that crap. american pie,(that pissed me off)the fact: they focused on the teenage age group for that movie. Look how our world is changing for the worse. We dont need movies out there like that. Kids are irresponsible, dont want to get a job, alot of drugs, and sex is going on starting in grade school. What the hell is wrong with you people that critisize his movies?????????
    They were good, and decent movies, I am in my early forties but, I will watch these movies,and I like them, good american decent humor. Its hard to find a movie these days, that T&A arent in it. There is no reason for that. I personally dont feel a need for that. I love a good decent movie, and you just cant find it no more. We need more people like John out there making movies. What was the last good movie you have seen??? Its hard to find one???????
