Remember the movie "Canadian Bacon"?

[boonecreek]

Directed by Michael Moore in 1995, it starred Alan Alda as a U.S. President who hopes to juice
the economy and his approval rating by starting a cold war with Canada. I didn't see it back then
because I thought the premise was too silly. Boy was I wrong.

1. Yep, I remember that one & have thought about it a bit lately

Also, Wag The Dog.

We know Trump doesn't read, but he sucks up a lot of media and has movie star envy. Even makes his own weird fantasy mini-movies with AI. Reminds me of the song lyric "I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie, and I was the star of that movie..."

The man is criminally insane and lives in a fantasy world he is trying to make a reality. Or is it Stephen Miller's fantasy world?

2. I feel sentimental toward it because it stars John Candy.

There's a great concept there for a movie, and it as a few laughs and nice scene or two. Sadly, neither the shoestring budget nor the thin script did it any favors.

4. I love that movie

Niagara Falls was my hometown, so there’s that, but John Candy was such a genius.
