Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 wins top award at the Cannes film fest

Realist

CANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. director Michael Moore's ``Fahrenheit 9/11'' won the top award at the Cannes film festival Saturday.

Thanking the jury headed by cult director Quentin Tarantino, Moore said: ``You will ensure that the American people will see this movie.'' Moore's win capped a politically charged festival, with documentaries and films reflecting troubled times and French show-business workers staging demonstrations and sit-ins to protest against cuts in their welfare benefits.

NICE!

I prophesy this will be a very controversial thread.

Now why would this be controversial?

A friend of mine says he's going to see it ten times just to help Moore out! It seems safe that it'll be well-attended in the US.

Help Moore out? He's already a millionare... does your friend care to send a few bucks my way? Sheesh.

For the record, I'll probably see the movie even though I'll feel sick at lining the pockets of that jerk... just like I did when I went to see The Passion. I'm a sucker for controversial films! :)

I wish someone would make a mocumentary about Moore and the making of his "documentaries".
