Dressed as the Blues Brothers???
Somebody owes Dan Aykroyd some money!”
-John Landis
I´ve always admired people who are different and don´t follow the same trends or opinions as others. People that make a difference in your life. Influencing us to do great things or to take unexpected decisions. John Landis is like that. Like other film director´s he gives a lot of interviews but as so much talented people, has never been properly acknowledge. Either his movies are not famous or not comercially succesful. If anyone is an authority on comedy its him. He has worked with the best in the business, so much talented artists can´t be wrong. He can brag of being not just a Director but a Brilliant Filmmaker.

See You Next Wednesday is a recurring gag in most of the films directed by John Landis, usually referring to a fictional film that is rarely seen and never in its entirety. Each instance of See You Next Wednesday in Landis' films seems to be a completely different film.
Landis got the title See You Next Wednesday from the 1968 movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the last line spoken by Frank Poole's father during Poole's videophone conversation with his parents

Its now 35 years after his first movie and up until now John Landis films make me laugh make me think, maybe , just maybe the trick is not doing what gives you more recognition and popularity, but listening to what´s inside you. By "directing" your own path.
