The man who _was_ THE mog...uncle buck (the man)...an lousy sailor in Summer
Rental...one of the funniest comedy actors to be filmed yet.

Rest in peace John Candy.

*sigh* Kinda makes you wonder what is going on up there in the Great Beyond,
doesn't it? When a guy who made millions of people laugh and was only 43
dies? Makes you realize your own mortality.

Rest in Peace, John Candy/

Yeah...and some of his SCTV stuff...

You know, I remember seeing Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in the theater
on its opening day... I swear I nearly broke down in tears at the close of
the film when he finally told the truth about his situation and why he was
on the road... the whole film was a comedy, but John Candy turned the
whole thing around at the end into a tearjerker. Some of the most
believable acting I can remember seeing.

I really don't understand what's been going on. Have you noticed the
death rate of celebs seems to have really jumped? John Candy, William
Conrad, Telly Savalas, Sorrell Burke... and I know there are others I'm
forgetting. What is it?

Sorry; just a thought...

I wonder if perhaps its just that the celebrities we care about
are getting old enough to die, now (though John Candy was definately too
young).
But that, like any other gross generalization, is probably wrong
in many instances, and for many people.
