Way back: Career Opportunities (1991)
I'd totally forgotten the cameo by John Candy in 1991's often overlooked classic from the John Hughes cannon, Career Opportunities (trailer). This is just one of the many amazing things in this little gem.
I'm not entirely sure what it was about this movie. It's not particularly memorable, well, other than images of a young Jennifer Connelly roller skating and/or riding a rocking horse. But it had this kind of strange pre-Clintonian, pre-HD, pre-iPodness world view to it. It was Target before it got all branded. And, really, who didn't want to be trapped in a big box store?
And there is a fancy "Can't Hardly Wait" Blu-ray DVD. But no Career Opportunities Criterion. Not good.
