I'd rather think of Belushi and everything he could have done. I don't need another biopic of the guy, and although I'm sure Todd Phillips has the best intentions, and he's a serious comedy nerd who I'm sure understands the appeal of Belushi and the enduring power of the good work he left behind, I can't help but think that all biopics are essentially the same. No matter how skillful, I don't know if we need "Wired 2.0." Having "Saturday Night Live" and John's widow Judy both cooperate with Phillips will allow them to show certain things, but it still doesn't really mean I need to see that film. Maybe Phillips has something great up his sleeve. I just know that it's not the slide into destruction that makes Belushi matter to me... it's those moments where he rose above, like standing in the back of that church, James Brown and the choir blasting at full tilt, a beam of divine warmth setting him aglow. That's what makes him matter. That's what endures. Much of what is most compelling about Belushi is his potential, permanently unrealized, and the frustration that exists as a fan, thinking of what we could have someday seen.
