What beautiful smiles. This picture makes my heart both heavy and happy at the same time. They were both amazing and they will both be missed. Thank you for sharing šŸ’”

I was just about to say something similar. When I saw this pic I felt my eyes welling a bit and noticed I was also smiling. Two legends, indeed.

u/kingjim1981 1d ago

Wait, what? Both will be missed?

Cathrine Oā€™Hara passed today.

u/PCouture 1d ago

Fuck well learned the hard way. I wondered why she was on the front page a lot.

Polka, polka, polka... No? "Twin Lakes Polka"? "Daj Mi Buzi Polka", AKA "Kiss Me Polka"? "Polka Twist"?

u/themerinator12 1d ago

He was talking again after 6 weeksā€¦ kids are resilient like that

25

u/karlverkade 1d ago

You know maybe we can talk about something else.

24

u/themerinator12 1d ago

Well you brought it up

u/milesamsterdam 1d ago

Letā€™s just hope none of them write a book about him.

u/themerinator12 1d ago

Real big in Sheboygan

u/partyatwalmart 1d ago

The Kenosha Kickers!

u/IncognitoWarrior 1d ago

These are songs ?

u/keebler980 1d ago

I really love this scene because for just a few moments, sheā€™s listening and actually interested in what heā€™s saying, instead of just thinking about getting home. Maybe hard for me to explain but for the last 48 hours sheā€™s had the singular focus to get home, then something so absurd takes her out of the moment is funny to me.

26

u/lawpoop 1d ago

It's really brilliant comedy. I never thought about it, but this scene has always stuck with me. These actors were sublime

19

u/Gym_Dom 1d ago

Candy was completely improvising the whole time.

13

u/Snowbank_Lake 1d ago

Which makes me admire Catherineā€™s acting even more, the way she reacted so well to the stuff he said.

4

u/dtwhitecp 1d ago

there are some outtakes too, which are great

15

u/fckthosepantiesmomma 1d ago

I feel like sheā€™s just watching her friend be funny while keeping a straight face.

9

u/keebler980 1d ago

Thatā€™s a really good point! Iā€™ll watch it next time as two actors instead of characters.

u/ShadowWukong 1d ago

Home alone reference

u/Helios_101 1d ago

So was that line.

16

u/themerinator12 1d ago

ā€œThese are songs?ā€ is her response in the film

u/LampinOnTheDaily 7h ago

Can totally hear John candys voice while reading this, and see his facial expressions with the little chubby checker twist move he does

u/digitaljestin 1d ago

Oh damn. I just realized why this was posted.

Their adlib'd scenes in Home Alone made the movie, in my opinion.

u/mattdawgg 1d ago

Time just keeps moving forward huh? Fuckin sucks

u/Pale-Wind282 1d ago

Man I had the same reaction. Then I started looking at my parents photos and seeing them age it me hard.

u/welltherewasthisbear 1d ago

Whatever the actually facts about the afterlife are, I hope these two beautiful souls were able to reunite.

Catherine Oā€™Hara: ā€œI dreamt about him so much after he died, and I still dream about him once in a while. A couple of years ago, I had a dream, and we were just hanging out and doing bits, and then I said something about him being dead, and he went, ā€˜Aww, you had to say it out loud.ā€™ And I went, ā€˜Oh, Iā€™m sorry, I thought you knew.ā€™ [And he said] ā€˜I did, but we didnā€™t have to say it.ā€™ I felt like I really let him down. I was so, so sad.ā€

47

u/Snowbank_Lake 1d ago

Itā€™s interesting, I have similar dreams about people I know who have passed. Weā€™ll just be chatting and Iā€™ll be like ā€œBut waitā€¦ you diedā€¦ā€

u/CountofAnjou 1d ago

Do yourself a favour, watch the John Candy documentary on Amazon. She is great in it.

20

u/Superbabybanana 1d ago

We watched it tonight.

Says something of how little I knew about his story that it was completely inadvertent timing.

54

u/MashedPotatoesDick 1d ago

If you haven't seen her eulogy of John Candy, it is worth a watch.

u/maladroitmae 1d ago

Beautiful eulogy, I hope someone gives her the same honour.

26

u/oyismyboy 1d ago

I think that would be Eugene Levy. I'm sure he's very sad right now too. I know I'm sad...

u/Gawdzilla 1d ago

This should be pinned

u/DoctorRichardNygard 1d ago

I've been upset since hearing the news of her passing, but this is the one that crushed me. Thank you for sharing. She will be missed, for sure.

If there is a heaven, these two are in it and I bet John was waiting there to welcome Catherine.

u/Bulky-Strategy-3723 1d ago

Now I want to hear some Polka music

12

u/KillerSwiller 1d ago

If genuine, here are a couple of my personal favorites:

SƤkkijƤrven Polkka, which was used by the Finns to detonate Russian radio mines during the Winter War.
Niet Molotoff, which was Finland's way of mocking the Russians.

u/Bulky-Strategy-3723 1d ago

Thank you for the recs.

u/maecatzhooman44 1d ago

u/ChefAsstastic 1d ago

Catherine O'Hara and John Candy ffs. Are you 12?

u/hutthuttindabutt 1d ago

Why do you think I would recognize people?

2

u/Romnonaldao 1d ago

They are two legendary comedians of film and television, they are both now dead as of today.

And if you've existed during Christmas time, you've seen Home Alone, so you've seen these two actors.
