See, I have this fantasy that SOME DAY I will be rich enough to bring Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis together in a room with me for the most incredible dinner of my lifetime. We would have beef tenderloin - Parmesan/Peppercorn crusted, of course...and we would drink copious amounts of wine. We would eat garlic roasted mashed potatoes - skin on...and have a wild mushroom and squash veggie mix on the side. There would be fresh snowflake rolls with chilled butter...did I mention red wine? Oh, and lovely little frosty pedestal dishes of lighter-than-air chocolate mousse for dessert. With the little chocolate mints on the table afterwards - and endless cups of cappuccino. The tables would be large, substantial wood tables and crisp white linens...a large antler-looking chandelier overhead...and sweet waitresses in black trousers with starched white shirts and little white tie-back aprons. Do I think this will ever happen? No. But when I ask myself which actors alive I wish I could have dinner with, I wish for a vignette like this.
IF I could have dinner with any celebrity who has passed to the great beyond...there's not a doubt in my mind that I would be presenting an engraved invitation to Mr. John Candy.
John Candy does.no.wrong. Well, except maybe Canadian Bacon, but he died half-way through it...so you can't really blame him for THAT.
Armed and Dangerous is a about a former cop (John Candy) and a former attorney (Eugene Levy) who both become security guards for the same company at the same time. Meg Ryan plays the daughter of the guy who runs the company - and Eugene Levy's character falls for her. The former cop and the former lawyer become fast friends and partners and soon discover that there are some seriously shady things going down when they are supposed to be watching over businesses after dark. They also find out that a BIG deal is about to go down between the guy who runs the union and the owner of the guard company too. All the proceeds (in the millions of dollars) of union dues are going to be moved from one place to another - and it's up to them to find out where and when and how to thwart the attempt!
