"Canadian Bacon" movie-PotUS tries to raise poll #s starting war with Canada. Art/life/Michael MOORE

[UTUSN]

It was just on basic cable. Rip TORN did a good impression for Dr. Strangelove. And I had no idea MOORE did this (Bowling/Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 his political apogee for me). Who'd a thunk we would be living a now-not-so-silly premise. Joins "Wag the Dog" for prescience.

1. It's no Citizen Kane, but

It has its moments. Moore's only attempt at a non documentary film

The bit with everyone mistaking Toronto as the capital bit is probably the funniest part

It has a likeable cast, and it's the last ever appearance of my hero, the late great John Candy.

2. That movie is so eerily prescient it's almost scary.

It's wonderful political satire.

3. Made me think better of MOORE, his past at least, who's been on the skids with me

(Like my ratings matter!1 )

4. It's a terrifc film, see it folks.
