Damn, that really sucks!

I loved a lot of his movies. Man, I think soldiers are safer in Iraq right now than they are in entertainment!

Very, VERY sad year with all of the celebrities deaths. You just never know when your day is up.

"You think he's funny? You think this is cute? You think he's "bitchin," is that it? Let me tell you something. Look at him - he's a bum. You want to see something funny? You go visit him in five years. You'll see how goddamned funny he is. "

There was no punchline.
According to Judd Nelson,
"I made the joke up. My line when I fall into the room is, 'I forgot my pencil,' so we were trying to work backward from that, but what joke would have that punchline?"

I bet someone here could come up with a punchline for it, lol.
Naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm, and a two-foot salami under the other. She lays the poodle on the table. The bartender says, "I suppose you won't be needing a drink." Naked lady says ____________________
Ok someone go for it, lol.

Classic- I don't know dudes real name, but I do know he was Clarence Beaks in Trading Places and got ass pounded by a real gorilla in a cage aboard an ocean liner headed to the fuckin' Congo or some shit.

Some favorite BC quotes, lol:
"Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up . . . we'll all get up . . . it'll be anarchy!"
"You're a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie."
"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"
"The next time I have to come in here, I'm crackin' skulls!"

"..I make $31,000 a year and I have a home and I'm not about to throw it all away on some punk like you. But someday when you're outta here and you've forgotten all about this place and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own pathetic life, I'm gonna be there. That's right. And I'm gonna kick the living shit out of you. I'm gonna knock your dick in the dirt."
Another classic
"Well, I don't know any lepers either, but I'm not going to run out and join one of their fucking clubs."

That's too bad. Love those classic 80s movies. Just watched Breakfast Club again with my daughter a few months ago. Love this song from the movie......

Smelly and Gbot, cracking up at those BC quotes.
LOL, a 'Bender' quote to 'Claire':
Don't you ever talk about my friends! You don't know any of my friends. You don't look at any of my friends. And you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends. So you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW, and your poor, rich drunk mother in the Caribbean.

Great song Deb, love the other quotes too, lol. Some more I thought of:
"I am the eyes and ears of this institution my friends."
"Show Dick some respect!"
"You ask me one more question and I'm beating the shit out of you."

If Hughes wrote the Steve Martin and John Candy scene where they wake up with each other's hands between the other dudes asscheeks, in Planes, Trains...then he is truly gifted.

Why does Eric Martin look like a lesbian schoolteacher from the 70s? I was just watching the Next Time Around vid on YT and saw someone made that comment and it's... pretty accurate, lol

Doesn't look like any of my 70s teachers.

Agreed, those extremely high cheek bones can make him look a little girly in certain pics.......but whatever, I don't care what he looks like......still has some of the best pipes around.
