What Happened to John Hughes?
He was a big director during the 1980s then after Curly Sue in 1991 he disappered from the directing world, never to direct again. He has been writing and producing. And he hasn't really had a decent movie since Home Alone 2, 15 years ago.
Does anyone know why he stopped directing?

He's still written (or Ghost Written) some movies in the last 10 years, Maid in Manhatten, Just Visiting, and I think another.
His son directed a movie a couple years ago I think, I seem to recall it not being very good
