My wife says dogs don't live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂‍↕️.

I know right. If they don't find a way to honor him I will be very disappointed. Better be big goddamn statue of him in that movie.

I'm worried he just got into the chocolate on the ship. I hope they got a really nice shoebox and a lovely plot in the yard for him. He was his own best friend after all.

My wife brought that up about chocolate. I prefer the age thing myself, seems more dignified to me.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think John Candy would have found it funnier to not be dignified. But he'd also likely just be honored anyways to be included.

True, can't wait to see how this turns out. Rick Morrison making his comeback with this movie is the greatest news I've heard in a long time.

Same. I hope we get some great parody movies out of these times, and this is a pretty wild one to get a sequel for. It's like Christmas if Santa got drunk and forgot to deliver toys for a decade but really made up for it when he got sober again.
Just an absolute joy.

I didn't think we have the technology to bring him back

We sort of do but it will be a nightmare abomination of stitched together dead things.

(I'm talking about AI, not actual frankenstein tech, John probably would have been cool with that way of coming back.)

We kinda do have it, but it would be wrong to do so. As much has I love to see John Candy in a new movie it just wouldn't be him.

But they will do this with some dead celebrity for sure mark my word. Hell they done it before with shitter technology. Just look up the John Wayne Budweswire commercial from the 90's if you want an example.
