I Like Me
The John Candy documentary. Quite touching at times and a good insight into a person who really believed he was going to be something special while also being loved by everyone. Sad childhood and everything he tried to do to make the best of it resulted in the same start for his own children.
A few takes from it were that he was a lot like his character from Planes...where he just took every set back, insult, wrong and just stored it away and hit the bottle hard. He was an easy target but only really because he was fat - other than that i just don't know why his confidence would ever be low.
They have no mention on how he died, just that he died at 43 (which made him Uncle Buck at 35!), but no other details - presumably not to lower the tone of the documentary.
There was no mention of Cool Runnings, which I thought strange/a shame.
Not going to hide this one, but after all the credits, which I had on because of the song played there is a scene with him and Steve Martin from PTAA where they open the trunk, which i have never known of and can't find anything about online. Now I am down a rabbit hole of Reddit theories.
Just a really nice piece on a really nice and funny guy 7.5/10 Mogs

Yes that was interesting, I might do a bit of Redditting later!Gassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
