...'IN HISTORY OF CANNES' FOR BUSH BASH FILM

The only movie I ever walked out of in my life was that crappy anti-capitalist "Roger and Me" movie that that idiot Moore directed and starred in.

That supersized anti-American loser should stay over in France for a while where they embrace hatred of everything American.

[giotto]

I re-watched "The Longest Day" last night, and it was painful - even in re-enactment - to see our guys mowed down by the thousand to liberate France. The a**holes at Cannes should watch that movie again instead of listening to a bloated pig like Michael Moore.

Well said.

Remember that line from Back To School?

"If you want to look thin, hang out with fat people"

"Are you fat? When you go jogging, do you leave potholes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw you peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK!'?"

Someone actually had sex with Michael Moore? And married him? Why?

Goes to show that there really is a woman out there for every man.

[headsonpikes]

Beware of The Blob!

[1Old Pro]

Cannes is in France. Is this a big surprise?

No, it's expected.

[ride the whirlwind]

LOL

[Paved Paradise]

Excellent response!

[Rastus]

Yes, in fact when Stalin spoke there was a bell that would signal when everyone could "safely" stop applauding.

The crowds would stop applauding, and the dogs would start drooling.

[LS]

Heil, Moore! In fact, Moore is fat enough to play Goering.

[Rastus]

That looks like the crowd at a Gino Vanelli concert!

Above line shamelessly lifted from MST3K.

I can't sand the guy, but according to another article here Bowling for Columbine grossed $120 million.

From Box Office Mojo:

Total Gross: $21,576,018
+ Overseas Gross: $36,432,405

No telling what the DVD sales were, but that's not a bad take for the pittance the film must have cost to make.

Unfortunate, 'cause I prolly hate the guy more than you do.

Here's hoping that pirates copies are on the streets in Chinatown by the weekend.

What is the only way to avoid French disgust at being a fat, slovenly, unkempt, five o'clock shadow wearing America? Just bash Bush.

[B Knotts]

Each person applauding did not want to be the first to stop applauding, lest he eat them.

[Rastus]

But as the applause faded, an overwhelming sense of sadness set in, as the audience members began to realize they were still French.

And at that point, they attempted to surrender en masse.

[Yardstick]

Solzenitzen records a similar scene in Gulag Archipelago. A Communist party boss gives a speech, the applause goes on for 5, 8, 10, 11 minutes, peoples' arms are burning, but they know it would be risky to stop. Finally a man at the front can't take it any more and puts his arms down. In an instant the entire auditorium quits clapping, like a switch has been thrown. And of course the next day the man is arrested.

[Snuffington]

I have an idea for a movie that would get even more applause at Cannes: A young Jerry Lewis spewing anti-American venom with occasional prat-falls topped off with a pie-in-the-face.

French taste really isn't that sophisticated. It just sounds that way when they speak in that funny accent.

[Interesting Times]

Is it just me, or is everything starting to resemble an Ayn Rand novel?

[snooker]

Did flip and flop applaude for 20 minutes? I bet that would hurt.

She decided to wear a bra before she decided to not wear a bra. She of course doesn't own any bras, only her family does.
