Before the final episode of Andor s.1 i just wanted to get one prediction in. I'm definitely wrong but if I'm right it's a big time spoiler so don't look at it.

Spoiler: Don't look

Spoiler: seriously, don't

Spoiler: fuck off already

Spoiler: Anto Kreegyr

He's not real. He's a Luthen alt.

That show isn't over yet?

I saw this in the theatre (the erstwhile Kent Theatre on Sherbrooke and Beaconsfield) 3 times when it was first released. Instant classic.

How do they know which way we are going?

John Candy was robbed of an Oscar nomination. He was brilliant.
I cringe at most comedies that try to merge comedy with sentimentality (The Sandler movies did that often with horrible results). PTA did it perfectly.

If it was just a comedy it would be a throwaway. Candy gave the film its humanity, its heart. That last scene on the el when Neil has those flashbacks and finally realizes that Del isn't going home but is essentially a vagabond without one, and then when he goes back to the station and finds him there...I don't care how many times you see it, it gets to you every time.

I recall another anecdote where during the filming of "Only the Lonely" he gave up his dressing room trailer to co-star Maureen O'Hara. O'Hara's dressing room was a tiny space in one of the trailers subdivided into 4 or 6 small rooms. Candy recognized the fact that O'Hara had been an A-list Hollywood star in the 40's and 50's and he insisted that she be treated like one. He didn't ask for another trailer; he was happy to swap dressing rooms with her. No matter how big and famous he got, Candy never behaved like he was anyone special. He retained his humility in a business where one is constantly pampered and told how great they are and never treated anyone like they were lesser people or not deserving of his attention.

Well this is ironic.

If he had joined, maybe he could've found Nicole's real killer.
