Belushi.Com

I'm glad there is a website that keeps John Belushi memory alive. I watched John coming up the ladder from day one. We where the same age and he was my number one comic. Good job the website guys. I hope you can keep it going forever. Thank you.

I loved his episode of Biography.

It was amazingly terrific.

I love Belushi!! I wish I were alive when he was. I'm 15 and John is my idol. RIP John Belushi

If they make a biopic of Belushi, they better do it RIGHT!!! They need to get an actor who is almost a spitting image of Belushi and knows comedy as well as how to be dramatic. Belushi was a complex guy and they need to show all sides of him like his wild energy, wit, charm, as well as his legendary bad boy ways, etc. It can be a hard thing to project on the big screen... Jack Black said that he would never play Belushi because he feels that he couldn't do him justice... His exact words were: "I’m not a big fan of biopics, as you rarely get to see a true reflection of the person whose life is playing out on screen. Instead you get to see a version of someone jointly created by the actor playing them, the director, and the writer, who with the help of family and friends tries to concoct a believable story while keeping those important cinematic elements of love and intrigue in there". I think it falls into that trap of when a comedian is playing a comedian it's just less funny. His (Belushi's) life is not as funny as his work, and watching me do an imitation of him doing his Saturday Night Live bits won't be as funny as watching him do his SNL bits.
"I think it falls into that category of when Jim Carrey did (Andy Kaufman (biopic) Man on the Moon. Just because the guy is an amazing and compelling artist doesn't mean that telling his story is going to be interesting to watch."
I have to agree with Jack Black. Most biopics also stretch the truth, add things, leave out things and only show a few sides of that person's personality. And, they usually bomb like Man on the Moon did, etc. They also need to get a real good, believable supporting cast to play Aykroyd, Murray, Chase, Landis, Brillstein, Judy, Jim, etc. I would REALLY like to see one of Belushi's pals direct the film, like Harold Ramis or Steven Spielberg. The film needs to show the real John Belushi, as well as keep it interesting and entertaining which I hope they can do if the film goes into production.

March 5 2012 will mark *30 years* since John Belushi's untimely and much mourned death. There will never be anyone like him and to make a 'biopic' can't touch the essence of who he was. God we MISS you, John Belushi!
