Peter Pan, in pink

Molly Ringwald pens a remembrance of John Hughes in today's Times. I was unaware of his relationship to Hollywood and the arc of his career. On the other hand, I am still aware of how much his films meant to me during the time I was living in Boston. I clung to his films (and, perhaps, a stage of my youth) like security blankets. Ringwald's words bring another level of intimacy to the work and to the man. John Hughes, RIP.

Katie Couric rocks

They've been doing this for a while, but I just caught up. Check out Katie at 1:45, right after the Biggie reference. "You can be Lady Gaga I can be T-Pain we can be bringing on the boogie droppin' rhymes like rain."

The covers would look something like this.

At the drive-in

Time magazine has a gallery of photographs taken at drive-ins from the past 75 years. I first saw Star Wars at a drive-in. It was a double-feature with a film featuring stop motion dinosaurs.
