I read an obit about John Candy years ago when he died and a colleague told a story about how he bumped into Candy in the kitchen of Candy's favorite restaurant. He was sitting at a counter with 2 plates of french fries in front of him and Candy looks up at him and says, "Here, have some. Don't make me eat them all."

Is that lyric from the Singin' Cowboy Don Bass? Because a classmate chose that as his quote for our senior yearbook.

I saw this for the first time on cable a few years ago around 3 am. Such an odd, quirky movie but I still found it endearing. However, every time I see Bruce Dern I can't help but think of his character in The King of Marvin Gardens (he co-strarred with Jack Nicholson.)

Quasimotto's "The Unseen" is one of my favorite hip hop albums ever and one of the best songs, "Come On Feet," heavily samples the movie soundtrack.

I could have sworn he either said speedball or spaceball. Either one is associated with freebasing, which, if I am assuming correctly, is why he was lighting the pipe with a butane torch rather than a normal cigarette lighter.

What's the rumpus?

I have read Our Band Could Be Your Life as well but I do not see how Barlow was more "sinister" than Mascis. In fact, based on what I recall of the book, Mascis was a real passive aggressive fuck while Barlow was far more genuine in his efforts to keep Dinosaur Jr. alive and running. However, I think Barlow's output…

You guys are almost as good as The Monkees.

I know Ka-ra-te!

I love this movie but it doesn't even come close to the film that never was…

I posted this before reading all the comments but Dave Chappelle would be fantastic.

That's true. But Philip was loading his gun and took it in the room with him before he found Chris dead.

Good point. But what about the answering machine at Chris' apartment. I don't remember answering machines being available until at least the mid-80s.
