Paul Gleason, 1944-2006

Just wanted to mention, in passing, the death of Paul Gleason. While the name may not be familiar, if you came of age in the '80s, you totally know who he is.

Paul was most famous for his role as Principle Vernon in The Breakfast Club, one of the Greatest Dipshit Roles Ever. That character was so great, he reprised the role 15 years later in Not Another Teen Movie. It's awesome when you're so good in just one role, that whenever you show up in a movie, people expect you to be nothing but that one guy.

See ya, Paul; we'll miss you. And remember: "Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns."
