Passing
Bob Clark, director of "Porky's" and most memorably "A Christmas Story" was killed last evening.
Man, I remember when Porky's first came out. I was in college and that just hit my funny bone. Maybe it was because we were "forbidden" to see it and that's just a guarantee that I'll not only see it but love it. Or it could just be that it was a funny movie. Either way - I always LMAO when I watch it, my boys LOVED it. It was a classic for it's time.
And A Christmas Story?!?! Holy Cow, that is most definitely a classic. In fact it is ALWAYS on one of the Top 10 Best Christmas Movies Ever list. And who doesn't love Ralphie?!?! And that lamp! It's become a collectible. It's not the holidays without at least 4 or 5 viewings of that movie!
Bob Clark has given us all something to make us laugh and smile about. And it keeps going. A pretty great legacy I think.
