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...
