| MICHAEL MOORE BRINGS DOWN HOUSE: LONGEST STANDING OVATION ’IN HISTORY OF CANNES’ FOR BUSH BASH FILM 20 mins standing ovation for FAHRENHEIT 9-11, yelling, screaming, cheering... ’This is the longest stading ovation in the history of the festival! Unbelievable!’ declared Cannes stalwart Thierry Fremaux. Moore, raising fist, unable to speak over crowd, vows to fight... Controversial scene in film shows wounded American GI in Iraq talking about how Democrats must win election... Movie shows video of U.S. soldiers laughing as they place hoods over Iraqi detainees, with one of them grabbing a prisoner’s genitals through a blanket... |

| #12 It probably won't flop because it cost very little to make and to distribute so the bar is very low before they can claim profit. |

| #11 It's REAL important that this movie (sic) flops when it opens in the U.S. I still want to pop that fat mug of his! |

| #10 Movie shows video of U.S. soldiers laughing as they place hoods over Iraqi detainees, with one of them grabbing a prisoner’s genitals through a blanket And pray tell just when was Fat Mike in Iraq filming this event? Or did he just download it off some porn site. |

| #9 Too bad Democrat party doesn't want to permit those in the military to vote: Gore got a judge to disqualify the votes of Americas soldiers serving in our military in Florida in Nov. 2000 |

| #8 "Can i have faith and hope that the majority of americans will be immune from this media barrage?" I would say there's better than a 50-50 chance of it. Not a LOT better, just a little. God help us all-- Americans as well as everyone else-- if this fool Kerry gets elected. |

| #6 As a french , i am ashamed at the canne's event(don't get wrong ideas, i AM a minority around here). The level of Bush/US hating is unbelievable in France.It seems that circuiting France is mandatory for every Bush basher. Can i have faith and hope that the majority of americans will be immune from this media barrage? I cannot vote nor donate , but sure i will celebrate in november when bush is reelected.I will make cut-outs of every major french paper and keep them for personal delight. |

| #5 Bowling for Columbine hasn't changed any 2nd amendment opinions - in fact they have probably stiffen the resolve of most people regarding guns. This will only harden the left but will do little to shift pro-Bush numbers. If anything, it will piss off those who were going to sit the election out and bring them to the right. |

| #4 Movie shows video of U.S. soldiers laughing as they place hoods over Iraqi detainees, with one of them grabbing a prisoner’s genitals through a blanket... That would explain why Disney wouldn't distribute the film. Does anybody know a Marine that will egg on Moore until he charges? I would like to see the headline " NYC suffers 7.1 Moorequake; Marine claims self-defence ". |

| #2 What a surprise. A film gets lauded by the people at cannes. French, rich and hollywood types. |

| #1 And this film was based on WHAT version of the truth? Everytime I see Mike Moooore I want to punch him in his fat face! Since when did PROPAGANDA become artful film making? And the fact that you can gather a group of Anti-American haters and have them applaud a American bashing film says nothing about the Director (sic). |
