She's Having a Baby has one of the funniest gags in it. Kevin Bacon looking at the photo of his wife's father, saying, "If you only knew what I'll be doing to her tonight..."

Cut back to the father's picture, expression on the face changed from a grin to a look of horror. Great little sight gag.

Also, best line: "Get your butt up higher, boy!"

John Hughes made some infinitely quoteable films.

Fans who have been waiting since glasnost to see these two tragically hip hearts beat as one will still feel cheated, however. All we get on the new DVD are some rough dailies of Duckie asking Andie for a "moonlight dance," accompanied by a voiceover explaining how test audiences and an insistent Ringwald loathed any resolution that had the preppie failing to rescue his damsel in distressed jeans.

Dang, was Ringwald a snob even then?

Tat's exactly why I don't think about, or right about, movies too much. In the end the writer usually comes off as osequious or disdainful, depending one whetehr he liked the work in question.

Um, Gregory Peck was an actor. I think the EPA guy was Walter Peck.

I love Ghostbusters. Just a few months ago I used the "dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA" line in an op ed to describe Dem predictions of the disaster the Alito-Roberts court would be.

The Sunday Newspaper parody -- The Dacron Republican-Democrat.

That is still the funniest thing I have ever read. Too bad it was printed on real newsprint and my copy is falling apart.
