Canadian Bacon?
Anyone else seen this movie? Someone sent me a Youtube video, knowing that I like bacon and Canadians. It's comedy about John Candy invading Canada (long overdue really). I ordered the movie on Amazon.com yesterday. Can't wait to see it!

Its a funny flick... low budget, but the plot is amusing.

The thing with this movie (Canadian Bacon), is that it's made around how Americans find Canada funny, not how Canadians find Canada funny.
eh

I used to like him .. but as of late I can't stand his one sided views ... and to top it all off the fucker is using low end equipement to make his movies .. Low payout to his crews while he collects big moneys .. his last two flicks where shot on a PD170 .. Tell ya the truth .. I've never been a big fan . he's one of those directors that makes me scratch my head in amazment .. how the fuck did he get to where he is .. and why the fuck is he still around
Canadian Bacon being one of those films.. How the hell did he get financing for a dumb ass script like that.. Low production values ... cheap low down dirty jokes ... the list goes on and on

I miss John Candy. I prefer him to Chevy Chase. Chase is nothing more than an asshole nowadays.

Well, we all shoot with low end cameras on pitiful budgets. Having a point of view is not a bad thing. He never claimed to make documentaries.
Ya wanna see a great use of low end cameras check out a show called "No Reservations" with Anthony Boudrain on Discovery.
Personally I like working with light, low end cameras. I started with TK 76's through just about every Ikegami Handy Lookie, then any number of Betacams.
I shoot with some kinda Sony HDV now that has a chip and tape...can never remember the model number...but it works just fine and is a pleasure to shoot with.
So, I don't really fault Mikey for that.
As far as the rate goes....the rate is what you can get. The average guy with an HD camera goes out for about 1800 a day in Toronto. So you take out the big money camera and I am sure that drops. The day rate is probably still pretty good, but you just can't earn large on the hardware with these 6K cameras. Used to be, you could pay off your Betacam in six months. Those days are gone. So what did you hear Mr. Moore was paying?

Funny John Candy a Canadian invading Canada...
The title "Canadian Bacon" I also find amusing. Is Canadian Bacon not ham, and don't we usually put peameal on the side and call it back bacon or the obvious peameal bacon. I cant fing that shite anywhere here in California.
Michael Moore grew up so close to the Canadian border I think he secretly wants the honour of being Canadian.
John Candy was hiliarious.

Yeah I know and I'm Canadian.
I never knew it was Canadian Bacon until I got older and saw it in the grocery store. And frankly I prefer normal bacon. I tried the peameal stuff a few time since it's "Canadian Bacon" and I'm a Canadian but I still prefer the normal bacon. lol
