May 18, 2004 -- CANNES, France - President Bush need not lose any sleep over Michael Moore's much-hyped "Fahrenheit 9/11," which turns out to be a wet firecracker. Moore's virulent feature-length attack on Bush, which premiered yesterday to a 20-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, falls far short of delivering on the filmmaker's extravagant promises of election-swinging revelations.

Actually I think even satan would be offended to being compared to Mikey "mouse" Moore. Even Satan has more class then this pustulant windbag.

Another good laugh is an article posted here at FR at of the start of the "festival". MM was out with the striking unions, evidently, raging against the capitalists,etc. Maybe that means we can all see his movies for free now.

The article mentioned in passing that the "French had deployed 1500 troops..." because of the strikers.
C'mon, the French don't even know how to deploy troops!

For a clue to my last post:

Moore's virulent flatulent feature-length attack on Bush

I still don't get it. :)

It's too lame a joke on my part to be worth the effort, but:

From the article:

President Bush need not lose any sleep over Michael Moore's much-hyped "Fahrenheit 9/11," which turns out to be a wet firecracker.

My post was meant to be something to the effect of, President Bush need not lose any sleep over Michael Moore's much-hyped "Fahrenheit 9/11," which turns out to be a wet fart.

Sorry, ladies. Anyway, told you it was lame. :)

i can't imagine a 20 minute ovation. 20 minutes is a l-o-n-g time.

Check out Michael Moore Hates America, a film by a marketing writer who claims he has now been contacted by 9 distributers who want to help get the film into theaters.

It will not be in theaters until August or so, however. I would be shocked if it is shown in any theater outside of massive cities like LA and New York, so I highly, highly doubt I will get to see it. But, it is a valiant effort with some major success it looks like.
