Fahrenheit 9/11 'favourite for prize'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3725373.stm

Director Michael Moore has been tipped by critics as one of the favourites to win the top prize - the Palme d'Or - at the Cannes Film Festival.

(snip)

Trade paper Screen International ranked Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 as a leading contender, based on the views of critics from around the world.

(snip)

The last documentary to win the Palme d'Or was The World Of Silence in 1956.

4. Once again the Free World honors a Free American
Will Imperial Amerika EVER again be known as the Old American Republic or USA?

Will we EVER rejoin the Free World again, let alone lead it?

I don't know but the first step is to win in November!

5. That Would Be Awesome
There is so much buzz about this movie it's going to be HUGE!!!

"The movie George Bush doesn't want you to see!!"

This Karl Rove's worst fucking nightmare. This and Howard Stern.

6. It needs a WIDE distribution here in the U.S. of A.
not just art houses and major cities.

Come on Weinsteins, do your magic!

7. I personally would like to see an IMMEDIATE direct to DVD distribution...
for $20.

$5 to the producers (more than they would make normally)
$5 to the general fund of the Democratic Party
$10 to the Red Cross to help take care of the Vet's being maimed over there..

They couldn't press them fast enough. I would buy 10 copies for family/friends and soe to hand out on the STREET!
