John Hughes, GI Joe, NY Times - together at last!
I’ll be away from the blog while screening Inglourious Basterds today (opens next week), so for your reading pleasure, I offer a roundup of interesting links I’ve found around the web this morning.
A very amusing AMC blog comparing G.I. Joe to Team America: World Police - and declaring the puppets the winners.
A piece on the infantilization of movies, especially summer movies, from the New York Times AO Scott.
A counter-argument from the Hot Blog’s David Poland who says, essentially, that things really haven’t changed that much over the last 20 years.
And finally, the best tribute I’ve read to the late John Hughes - by a considerable distance.
Happy reading - feel free to discuss these or whatever else you like via the comments. It’s a free-for-all kinda day.

The New York Times has published a really nice piece remembering John Hughes written by Molly Ringwald. It’s almost as good as the piece linked here.
