I was just thinking about John Candy's character in Stripes. Remember: "I swallowed a lot of aggression... along with a lot of pizza!"

I don't think the kids born today are gonna understand John Candy. He made a lot of really bad movies. And the good movies he's in, it doesn't seem like he's doing very much. So if you said to someone "John Candy was great", and they watched one movie to see what the fuss was all about, it wouldn't make sense.

But there was something about the big guy that made you instantly like him. You see him in a movie, you'd say "hey it's John Candy", and a smile would come over your face. He made things better and funnier just by being there.
