Derek Bueller's Day Off

So sad to hear about the passing of John Hughes today. He was probably, in many ways, one of the biggest cultural influences on me as a young boy. His movies still make me laugh and think and laugh some more.

On a trip to Chicago last year, we took a couple of our own Ferris Bueller-inspired pictures at the Art Institute...


And in honor of the man, here are two impossible This? or This? challenges for you:

Breakfast Club? or Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

Sixteen Candles? or Pretty In Pink?

Young Elvis? or Old Elvis?

Strawberries? or Peaches?

We've been debating this one all summer.

Eames House? or Fallingwater?

Han? or Indiana?

Rothko? or Pollock?

Mods? or Rockers?

This? or This?

Here's a little game Lauren and I like to play when we've got a moment to spare (usually when we're stuck in traffic). It's good old-fashioned "This? or This?", a ridiculous question of zero importance, but whose answer ends up being weirdly revealing about someone's personality. (I should say that normally we try not to judge others, but this can be pretty entertaining). Anyway...I thought it might be fun to try this out here on Smarts & Crafts. It's pretty straightforward, every once in a while I'll demand you choose between "this or this" and you can respond in the comments. Please play along if you're so inclined...

So here we go. We've got two very talented gentlemen, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and David Bowie, the guy from 'Labyrinth'. So who do you choose? Who's your man? And remember, we're not judging by the photo here, or whether one was a snazzier dresser, or even whose music you like better. We judging by who these people are. If you take a moment to think about it, it's actually really hard to choose. But you must. So who's it gonna be?

Okay, now this one is even harder. Good Luck!
