Michael Moore the follow-up

Hot off the wires from the Canadian �National Post�…

�In the days before Cannes, Michael Moore’s Disney
criticism whipped festival audiences into a fever for
Fahrenheit 9/11. Hollywood cynics called it the usual
P.T. Barnum showmanship by Moore, but when the
movie finally unspooled, it earned resounding applause
at Monday’s press screenings.�

Barnum � excellent. But what of the distribution
threat, after Disney refused flatly? (and, it now
comes out, gave Moore 12 MONTHS notice).Surprise
surprise, Miramax, the film�s producer, under
Harvey Weinstein�s direction, stepped forward assuring
Moore and the world that a deal was imminent. As of
today, though, despite endless blather, there�s little hard
evidence that a deal is going through to show Fahrenheit
9/11 to American audiences. The National Post again…

�Harvey Weinstein showed up outside the Cannes theatre
after the first Fahrenheit 9/11 screenings. He
declined to speak at length, but as reporters asked if
the film would be released, he said, `Have I ever let
you down?’�

There, you see…the �Post� and me agree totally about
Michael Moore. We are �as one�. Can�t get a Rizla
between us.
