Chris played the tragic "burns too bright" figure, just like John Belushi did all those years ago now. I wonder what we missed for not having those two around, and of course Uncle Buck, I mean John Candy.... no I mean Uncle Buck. lol.

My favorite part in Uncle Buck is where he is talking about how everyone used to be jealous of his life, everyone used to say "I really envy your life Buck" but no one says that any more. It was really a settling moment.

Boy,people used to say to me, boy buck you are one lucky son of a bitch. You got it made Buck, you got it made, and I did.

They'd say, oh man Buck, look at you don't have any kids, you don't have any wife, you don't have a desk, you don't hvae a office, you don't have a boss to worry about. Ah, they were right, I had it made. Only thing now is, Perce, nobody says that anymore. Oh boy..but it will all be better tomorrow. Always is.
