Which preconceived negative notions are you referring to? Nancy: I wrote about my criteria here.

Which preconceived negative notions are you referring to?

Does a film have to be set in Canada to be Canadian? Does it have to snow? Does it have to fulfill every one of your preconceived negative notions? Yeah, I don’t know about your criteria when applied to creative works. Does a film have to be set in Canada to be Canadian? Does it have to snow?

Martine: Indeed it is--totally forgot the Creative Commons attribution. Also, as I've never eaten poutine in my life, I didn't actually notice that it was an abnormal example. I just picked it because it was shaped right and had a clean background.

Don't propagate the idea that our film industry here is inferior. Just because we have a penchant for films with actual plots, and intelligent dialogue and a lot fewer fireworks, doesn't make them inferior to hollywood counterparts. And, well, Zach Braff isn't Ryan Reynolds, now, is he? :D p.s. Check out some Sarah Polley films if you want to see some particularly good canadian work. hm. i wouldn’t call being in a canadian film “slumming it” … we have got some of the best filmmakers in the world up here! not to mention some of the biggest stars in the industry that hail from the great white north.
