i think the world is a poorer place in the absence of john candy.

i still remember the loss i felt the day he died and i still find myself wondering what he might have accomplished had he not died at the young age of 44.

most people simply remember him as a charismatic, overweight comic actor.

during the final few moments of both planes, trains and automobiles and uncle buck you can clearly perceive an underlying aura of profound sadness and layered, psychological complexity that distinguished him from his contemporaries and continues to define his aesthetic excellence.

not to mention his last name was "candy."


i miss you, john.
