Sad that Wagons East was such an awful movie. Didn't come close to doing John Candy justice

@thunderstruck665 Yeah I know. I was just watching some of his SCTV stuff from 1978 (which I cannot put up unfortunately, poor Harold Ramis - there's so much GRATE footage of him Dialing for Dollars and other skits) but Candy was a crucial part of the SCTV -- Candy at his most sublime!!

I felt i knew him when i saw a movie with him, of course i didnt, but i really wish i had. He represented so much kindness fun and intelligence that it would be very difficult fore someone to not love him.

poop, you idolized candy didn't you as the perfect reinaissance man you aspired to be like him thinking your life would be happy and finally get a date with a chick! however, you aren't even good enough to have carried candy's gigantic triple EEE boondockers complete with smelly socks. you can't even come somewhat close to his talent, lazy folks like you don't have the dedication to be a comedian or anything else for that matter. face it, you suck! you big dummy!

@AntiJuggalo1 Yeah I think Candy knew that he was facing an early death if he continued to abuse his health. I believe he was trying but I think the extremes in his last movie shoot may not have been the best to get his health together. He probably should not have accepted the job in retrospect.

@atfatw doesnt make it any less sad you dumb fuck

[atfatw]

what untimely death!

candy daily smoked 8 packs of cigarettes, consumed lollypops, candy bars, and even breath mints by the gross. chomped hard candies, gobbled many many hamburgers, munched pizza by the slice, swilled gallons of coca cola, the way other people drink one can of coke he did a whole bottle. consumed tons of french fries, breaded shrimp, breaded crabs, and even breaded clams. he ate everything! everything that is except fruits and vegetables! he had it coming pppffffttttttttt!

of all the dirty rotten people in the world who live many years longer than they deserve, we had to lose a genuine kind hearted soul such as john candy, the world can certainly be a cruel and unjust place

[JADEAV]

I started loving him so much!...He had the beautiful smile when he smiled tons!!...I am 43 now....Sad he died when he was 43!.........I have wished that I'd meet him or work with him so that would make me feel happy!....Yeah one day I meet him after I die....I hope so!..... Resting in peace....John Candy!

Decide on the completion of Wagons East? They should have left it alone and not bothered completing it. It was a very bad movie.
