Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War
Dennis Miller summed Moore up nicely, "A three chinned toad." I laughed so hard I dropped my beer! Well said Mr. Miller. Well said.

Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War
Basically any movie that attacks the culture of America with suffient enough lies and mistruths can win a palme d'or.
 This is regretable, but true.

Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War
*Disengages lurking cloak* It is the award that has been given at Cannes, and it is supposed to reward the best film (or rather, documentary here) shown at the competition. *Goes back to lurk mode*

Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War
While I recognize an author can sell books on hype and mistruths, I also feel that we later come to learn not everything was a mistruth after a certain amount of time has passed and people are willing to take a fresh look. The Kennedy assassination falls into this Category.
Having worked in top-secret environments, I can also tell you that things are classified for release to the public...the number of years it is classified being determined by a calculated "estimate" of just when its release will only cause a yawn from the public. Think about it.
