A Far Cry From Mallrats

Here's the new red band trailer for Kevin Smith's Red State:



Looks pretty awesome, but where are all the dick and fart jokes?

Kevin Smith, On John Hughes

Some weeks ago I mentioned that Kevin Smith was going to host a tribute and Q&A on The Breakfast Club's 25th annversary and John Hughes. It happened last week and there's been some video posted from Kevin's talk here. You might have to do a birthday check because Kevin tends to be a little not safe for work.

The Huffington Post also had a nice picture of the reunited cast (minus Emilio Estevez because you know, he's totally too busy to attend and stuff) with a brief little interview.


I'd have loved to attend. Do we have any Brats readers who were there?

We Can't Forget About Him

If you live in New York City, there's something coming up that you shouldn't miss.

The Film Society of the Lincoln Center in New York is doing a two-day tribute to the man, the myth, the legend: John Hughes. On day two, there's a screening of The Breakfast Club followed by a Q&A discussion panel moderated by director Kevin Smith (a massive John Hughes fan) and featuring Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, and Ally Sheedy. Jason Reitman will be introducing Ferris Bueller's Day Off on day one of the festival.

Who wants to fly me to NYC?? John Hughes fest, Kevin Smith, Jason Reitman, and a cast panel? *Swoon*
