While I think we can all agree that the Kate Bush song "This Woman's Work" will never be used as effectively as it was in She's Having a Baby, the season 5 premiere of CBS' Ghost Whisperer — which brought the complicated delivery of Melinda's son, Aiden, then a five-year time jump — has divided fans. Which side are you on? Discussion and poll after the jump! Maybe it's because I know where the executive producers are headed — Aiden will be able to sense things on that next plane, after spirits have crossed over or under, which threatens powerful beings there — but I'm »

The first movie that I ever worked on was directed by John Hughes. (I actually worked on another, smaller film before that, but I call that one a mulligan and I don't count that.) Hughes made a movie called She's Having A Baby, starring Elizabeth McGovern and Kevin Bacon. It was shot in 1986.

John Hughes left an indelible mark on the childhood of most people who grew up in the 1980s. It was impossible to get through most days without hearing a quote from one of his movies, and chances are you can remember watching at least one of these with your friends: Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains, & Automobiles, She's Having A Baby, and those are just some of the movies he directed -- he wrote and produced many more.
His words, characters, and song selections all made up the soundtracks of so many of our lives, and he passed away earlier today at the age of 59, according to TMZ. Cause of death appears to be a sudden heart attack while visiting his family in New York City.
