To the surprise of no one, Michael Moore has won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his anti-Bush screed “Fahrenheit 9/11.” An old prof of my mine once said there’s nothing the Cannes audience loves more than an anti-American American film, so there you have it.
Never mind all this Disney/Miramax nonsense; Fat Fat Fatty’s film will be released in the US, and should become the elite-blue-state version of “Passion of the Christ.” Except, of course, considerably fewer people will see it.
Will I see it? Maybe, maybe not; there's no way in hell it'll be as good as the Palme d'Or winner from a decade ago.
