John 3:16

With filmmaker John Hughes having died unexpectedly today, a friend/coworker/contemporary of mine, John C., and I were chatting about him... and the many films he made that were and will always be significant to those of us that grew up in the '80's. My friend John made the point that John Hughes is our generation's John Ford... a pretty valid point, I thought. Of course, John Ford was known for his many collaborations with John Wayne. In reflecting upon John Hughes, it occurred to me that he featured John Candy in many of his films... so, as we consider John Hughes as our generation's John Ford, as my friend John asserted, it would follow that John Candy was John Hughes' John Wayne.

It eventually dawned on me that I was dealing with a lot of Johns (insert hooker joke here).
