Ryan Reynolds is one of the few Hollywood hucksters that frequently almost get me with their calculated attempts to be liked. Helping memorialize John Candy might be the closest he's come yet.
Clerks is prolly one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time, and I used to look up to the guy for prolly 15 years.
But that covid mess, he really showed his true colors. Hes just a yuppie like the rest of them.
Cant even find any of the videos of his rants about antivaccinators now, must have hired someone like the halifax entrepeneur who erases your digital sins to delist them.
"Finally got 5G," he wrote in the caption, poking fun at conspiracy theorists who falsely believe high-speed internet causes cancer, and anti-vaxxers who falsely believe the vaccine contains a microchip.
Remember how they kept pushing the "microchips" conspiracy, when most of us werent concerned about that, we were concerned about shit like, heart inflammation in children.
I remember. After covid my opinion of him really changed, even thought about emailing him a few times but figured he would never read it and even if he did he would think im schizo like the rest of you seem to think ^^.
Look At His Resume! he was in a TON of really great films and TV episodes. If not the star then a supporting character you remember! (In fact, his starring roles while good were not as great as the rest)
His presence in any film made every actor in it better. He lead by example, through modesty, honesty and just being a nice guy!
Blues Brothers.
Stripes.
Heavy Metal (voice)
Vacation.
Splash.
Summer Rental.
Little Shop Of Horrors.
Spaceballs. Planes Trains & Automobiles
& 7 more memorable films + dozens of others less than memorable.

Probably because this film is coming out, Macauley Culkin has mentioned that during making Uncle Buck John Candy was one of the first and few people to notice how abusive Culkin's father was.
He's said it in the past before, though its probably coming up again because of this movie. Macauley is unfortunately super wierd and says a lot of odd stuff so people have tuned him out for a long time.
Like making a band entirely singing about how much you love cheese pizza.
That's coming from someone who considers his final movie, Richie Rich, a big guilty pleasure. That movie gets genuinely GOOD in places, with a couple of badass moments.
TBH, I kind of had a brief Mandela effect moment where I doubted myself that someone else starred in The Great Outdoors instead of Candy when I didn't see it on either list.
There are a whole bunch of slop modern articles claiming that Candy did it as a favor to John Hughes. And that Candy was unhappy with the payout once Home Alone was a hit.
At the risk of you really thinking that I'm taking the piss outta you: I don't know who that is either. Apparently, he starred in Billy Madison, isn't that the movie with the "what you just said was the most ..." meme?

Oh, wow. He's really one of the best American comedians of the late 80's and early 90's.
He's renowned for supremely high-energy comedy, and an unrivaled level of goofiness well past the point of being immature, giving him a kind of self-deprecating humor and cringe that goes with it.
Anyone over the age of 30 that watched movies from the 80s and early 90s has seen something he was in, and he was super visible in any of them because of his weight.
He's not obscure in any form, and its incredibly surface level to know him, but has just been dead for a long time.
Only really saw him in 3 movies. Even tho he sadly died early he also only experienced the hight of western civilization, not 9/11 and all the shit afterwards.

?? I think you might have confused the movie here.
I think he means dogma, maybe.
That's still Kevin Smith.
If we ever get a time machine, we'll have to go back to make sure Van Wilder never gets made.
Doubly so because Bert Kreischer claims it's actually his college biopic.

He was paid $414 for his role in Home Alone... 🙄

Probably didn't help that he got heavily typecast very early in his career.
I have immense sympathy for Culkin.

Unlocked a forgotten memory with that one
Brewster's Millions
Who's Harry Crumb
Armed and Dangerous
Canadian Bacon.
The Great Outdoors.
I can't believe two of us missed The Great Outdoors, lol. That's just inexcusable
TBH, I kind of had a brief Mandela effect moment where I doubted myself that someone else starred in The Great Outdoors instead of Candy when I didn't see it on either list.
That's very odd.
The Gong Show paid its winners $516.32, which was NOT a random number--that was the SAG-mandated minimum salary for a day's work.
That was in the 1970s.
He got paid less than that for Home Alone?
The minimum today is $1,246 per day for a basic theatrical role, if anyone's wondering.
There are a whole bunch of slop modern articles claiming that Candy did it as a favor to John Hughes. And that Candy was unhappy with the payout once Home Alone was a hit.
Can’t wait to see this. Love John Candy and since he was a big name when I was a kid he always brings happy memories
Never even heard of him. Is this another instance of people being able to rattle off 1000s of celebrity names, or is he really that well known?
You never saw ANY of the films he was in?
Really now?
Sad.
I did see Home Alone. I've never even heard of the others. SAD!
Not even Space Balls. The number of references you have missed must be staggering.
So that is the "thanks for space balls" comment from Family Guy?
Dude. What the actual fuck?
YES! He's like Chris Farley! Except Farley died of an OD at 33, while Candy died of a heart attack at 43, mostly due to being very overweight.

Basically this scene from Tommy Boy
That face is pretty funny, and I assume not quite as common then as it is now.
You should honestly watch his filmography.
Anyone over the age of 30 that watched movies from the 80s and early 90s has seen something he was in, and he was super visible in any of them because of his weight.
He's not obscure in any form, and its incredibly surface level to know him, but has just been dead for a long time.
He was a Canadian star actor before a lot of the modern ones came - Jim Carrey, Ryan Reynolds, Rachel McAdams, Mike Myers, etc.
He holds a lot of sentimental value for a certain vintage of Leafs in the 80s & 90s.
He is also lionized because he was taken out midcareer like Chris Farley & James Gandolfini.
Cool Runnings and JFK define two sides of his bell curve for roles.
There were plenty making up the middle area.
You've probably seen more than a few of the movies he was in AoV. He was quite the icon.
Only really saw him in 3 movies. Even tho he sadly died early he also only experienced the hight of western civilization, not 9/11 and all the shit afterwards.
