Learned from Facebook that John Cherry, the director/mastermind of the Ernest movies, has passed away after a battle with Parkinson’s. Can honestly say this man brought me a lot of joy growing up, and that Ernest Goes to Jail is legitimately a very funny movie. RIP to a real one. pic.twitter.com/uotYEPV0zn
