THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
...with JOHN HUGHES! The sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, buds, wasteoids, dweebies and dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude. The writer/director behind Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, National Lampoon's Vacation movies, Home Alone, Planes, Trains & Automobiles and many more died Aug 6, 2009. Hughes masterfully married music to movies, so I pay video tribute to him today, starting (of course) with "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds from The Breakfast Club (the drumming on this song is impeccable), and Karla DeVito's "We Are Not Alone," along with the Ramones playing "Blitzkrieg Bop" (from National Lampoon's Vacation), David Bowie's "Young Americans" and The Vapors one-hit wonder, "Turning Japanese" and Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" (all from Sixteen Candles, which opens to a clip of veteran WLS DJs Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwards), Van Halen's cover of "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and General Public's "Tenderness" (both from Weird Science), the Psychedelic Furs re-recorded title track from Pretty In Pink, which also featured Jon Cryer lip-synching to Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" (that last clip is a blistering live take from the 1967 Stax tour -- and excellent, btw), The Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" (a Hughes perennial; here, the Dream Academy cover from FBDO), and OMD's "If You Leave," plus two more from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, "Danke Schoen" and "Twist and Shout" (which was shot on Dearborn and Randolph Streets in Chicago, with International Polka Queen Vlasta atop the float, though Cameron and Sloane were in front of the Post Office down the street), plus Yello's unforgettable-no-matter-how-you-try "Oh, Yeah." Videos are scarce for Some Kind of Wonderful, but I found Flesh for Lulu's "I Go Crazy" and the March Violets' take on the Stones' "Miss Amanda Jones." BONUS: Molly Ringwald's post-MeToo re-evaluation of the films that made her career. U.S. GIRLS plays World Cafe. NEIL FINN covers Split Enz's "Time For A Change." ELTON JOHN joins SPINAL TAP for a new version of "Stonehenge." CHAPPELL ROAN shares "The Subway." JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has Lyme Disease. THE NAKED GUN reboot got good reviews. And 90 percent on the Tomatometer. SUPERMAN passes 300MM domestic, more than the entire lifetime of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. CONJURING: LAST RITES has a final trailer online. HOSTEL: Paul Giamatti and Eli Roth seem headed to Peacock. JAMES BOND meets Peaky Blinders. THE SOCIAL NETWORK sequel may add Jeremy Strong to the cast in an unknown role, possibly Zuck. SMALL SOLDIERS could be getting a sequel. DIDDY's legal team has filed a lengthy preemptive memorandum seeking his acquittal or that there be an entirely new trial for the government’s charges against him. THE GILDED AGE is building audience in Season 3. A RESCUED OTTER CUB scared of the water is taught to dive for fish. AUSTRALIA has discovered a new nightmare. A BIG CAT acts like a any cat (until it rips your face off).
