Never really got Martin's humor. Or his enormous popularity. Got a few chuckles out of him. I did like Candy. He seemed more comfortable with himself on the job.

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES is so funny…and touching, too. John Candy died so early. What a loss.
PTA – 2 guys trying to get home for Christmas – good, classic genre.
A fave of mine in that groove is REMEMBER THE NIGHT with Stanwyck and McMurray and a screenplay by Preston Foster. Amazing film full of love and laughter as DA Fred drives home to Indiana for Christmas with convicted shoplifter Stanwyck in tow. Both have families there, but Stanny's family is now just a cold, unforgiving Mom, so they motor further to Fred's house and spend the holidays there. Masterpiece film. Lots of Sturges in the picture.

Misfit410, neither of those two films were directed by Landis. PTA was directed by John Hughes, Dutch by directed by Peter Faiman, both films written by John Hughes.
Apparently, root canals don't hurt anymore I've been told. Thankfully, I've never had one. I used a few clips of Obama/Oprah/Michelle which if McCain had used we might have had a different outcome. George Bush makes a cameo appearance. If you are signed in at You Tube rate and comment. Remember, I can delete all negative comments!
People are mad at the NFL for the Limbaugh controversy. Well, there's other reasons why the NFL stinks. A team that plays on Thursday has a short week to prepare and there are times when the opponent on that Thursday is coming off a bye week. Ask any NFL lineman how easy it is to have to play another game four days after his last game.
And then there are the west coast teams (Chargers, 49ers, Raiders, Seahawks) who every year are forced to play on the road in the Eastern time zone. To the home team, the game starts at one o'clock on Sunday afternoon but to the visiting team it's 10 AM. Do Eastern teams ever play a game at 10 AM? Never. I demand the NFL change the game time for Eastern time zone games to 4PM Eastern when the visitor is from the west coast. 8:25am 11/26
To the armed services members I wish you a happy thanks giving and a safe return.. I know some you are far from home stuck in the middle of no where and today is just another day you must endure and question is it all worth it.. All I can tell you is with out you there is no tomorrow for any of us.. Be safe and this Vet thanks you.
First, the 0bama's painted The White House orange "in honor of" Halloween.
Now this…
WTF?
PS- Kinda reminds of Non-Vetting Crashers + Murderous Dinner @ 1600 + Absolut (Powered) Jack Bauer + 3 Stooges + Balloon Boy.
I am SO glad I have all those oldies; "A Charley Brown Christmas", "Miracle on 34th Street", "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", "Bells of St. Mary's", "Its a Wonderful Life", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (Chuck Jones/Boris Karloff; the GOOD one), all on DVD. I just added "Madagascar Christmas" to that list…
Otherwise I'd have to buy that ice pick for my eyes, just in case…
The liberals will meet at the *Mothership*, aka the local ACLU office and have a symposium on the evil white Europeans invasion of North America and possible legal strategies for reparations. Football is a evil capatalist ground acquisition game simulating Native oppression.
Actually Meant Hughes but, what does Landis need to be forgiven for? the horrible accident on the set of Twilight Zone I have to assume? I can't help but feel for him a bit, that's got to be tough to live with.
I think John Landis signed the petition to free Roman Polanski, so sad. Not as sad, as the lives lost during the filming of "The Twilight Zone," movie though.
I woild like to take this opportunity to wish all the troops, who are in harms way to keep us free, a very happy Thanksgiving. GOD bless you all. I would also like to offer a shout out to all those patriotic resisters who refuse to accept things as they are, and are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice, if needed, to fight the just fight here in America.

gobble gobble everyone! happy Thanksgiving [hey wake up! nap is over game 3 is on!]
this was my 'go-to' movie when Hughes, laughed my a** off seriously in the car scene
L.B. "Oscar" Mayer - November 27th, 2009 at 7:53 am
TWILIGHT ZONE is right. Vic Morrow and two little kids are dead b/c of Landis' recklessness. he should have gone to jail.
Just making sure there was something else I did not know about, yea Twilight Zone was very sad, did not know it was his fault, that is pretty messed up.

I also miss John Candy.
TP&A was ok, but Uncle Buck is my hands down favorite Candy film. I've always wanted to beat down a clown like Uncle Buck!
Steve Martin is one interesting – and sharp – comedian. I read an interview of him – and he actually approached comedy from an analytic viewpoint – and changed it.
Charlie West went to bed one night an ordinary high school student. He woke up a hunted man. Terrorists are trying to kill him. The police want to arrest him for the stabbing death of his best friend. He doesn't know whose side he's one or who he...

Plane, Trains is one of those films that I can only watch once every five years–but it is funn-ay! Love John Candy.
I'll be watching my traditional Thanksgiving comedy favorite today– The Detroit Lions playing football. Always good for a laugh.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and All!

You know when I try to think of "Thanksgiving movies", only two come to mind, "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Dutch"
Both directed by John Landis, the man will be missed, hell I still miss John Candy, such a warm and funny guy, I can forgive him for being a Democrat.
Happy Thanksgiving all! Even you liberals, enjoy your simulated tofu turkey, over at the hive.
Breitbart, Big Government , Big Hollywood and all it's contributors are on my 'Things To Be Thankful For' list .
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I'd Rather be Having a Root Canal Than Watch "Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special"

Happy a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving to BigHollywood, Andrew Breitbart and all the commenters. Be blessed and be safe.
Interesting. Steve is the funniest human being who ever lived, in my opinion.
Regarding the couple who crashed The White House State Dinner, if 0bama can’t keep his own house safe, how can we expect him to keep America safe?
How about those Bears?
"Doin the Mess Around……."

Duh, brainfart, had landis on the brain from discussing Beverly Hills Cop last night., meant hughes..
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, keep our men and women in the armed forces in your thoughts and prayers today.
To the armed services members I wish you a happy thanks giving and a safe return.. I know some you are far from home stuck in the middle of no where and today is just another day you must endure and question is it all worth it.. All I can tell you is with out you there is no tomorrow for any of us.. Be safe and this Vet thanks you.
This is an open thread, so with regard to the couple that crashed 0bama's WH State Dinner, I say, "Bravo!"
PS- I recall 0bama saying, “Nobody messes with Joe!” No, they don't…they just get their picture taken with him.
First, the 0bama's painted The White House orange "in honor of" Halloween.
Now this…
WTF?
PS- Kinda reminds of Non-Vetting Crashers + Murderous Dinner @ 1600 + Absolut (Powered) Jack Bauer + 3 Stooges + Balloon Boy.
For a change of pace…
"ABC announces Oprah-Obama Christmas Special…"
I am SO glad I have all those oldies; "A Charley Brown Christmas", "Miracle on 34th Street", "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", "Bells of St. Mary's", "Its a Wonderful Life", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (Chuck Jones/Boris Karloff; the GOOD one), all on DVD. I just added "Madagascar Christmas" to that list…
Otherwise I'd have to buy that ice pick for my eyes, just in case…
I hope we have a Republican house in 2010
I miss John Candy.
& Happy Thanksgiving to my American cousins.
and I can forgive him for being a Canadian…loved John Candy! Gone much too soon.
The liberals will meet at the *Mothership*, aka the local ACLU office and have a symposium on the evil white Europeans invasion of North America and possible legal strategies for reparations. Football is a evil capatalist ground acquisition game simulating Native oppression.
AMEN! and those Republicans better be conservative budget cutters…
We miss John Candy and Happy Thanksgiving to our cousins in the Great White North!
Can't forgive Landis, though.
I agree on the five year interval, it's edgy but ultimately sweet – John Candy was marvelous…
Happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone. Say a prayer for our men and women serving here and abroad.
John Landis is still living.
Football is cool. It's unionized, after all!
I know, I mixed it up with Hughes, meant to say Hughes.
Actually Meant Hughes but, what does Landis need to be forgiven for? the horrible accident on the set of Twilight Zone I have to assume? I can't help but feel for him a bit, that's got to be tough to live with.
That was a great line!!
I think John Landis signed the petition to free Roman Polanski, so sad. Not as sad, as the lives lost during the filming of "The Twilight Zone," movie though.
LOL!!! “Nobody messes with Joe!” No they don't…They just get their picture taken with him." Funneee, and so true.
Just Happy Thanksgiving.
Well, as a life long Cowboys fan I find the Skins annoying anyway!
I woild like to take this opportunity to wish all the troops, who are in harms way to keep us free, a very happy Thanksgiving. GOD bless you all.

TWILIGHT ZONE is right. Vic Morrow and two little kids are dead b/c of Landis' recklessness. he should have gone to jail.
I think your sympathies are misplaced.

John Candy – a talent gone way too soon.
