What else would you expect?

This just in from the Department of Big Surprises. Michael Moore's "documentary", Farenheit 911, won the prize for best picture at the Cannes Film Festival. Many, many months back when I first learned that he would be showing this film at Cannes, I said that it would win the best film award, not because it was the best film, but because it was critical of President Bush. This film could have been a cheesy 8-mm home movie of stick figures done by a high-school audio-video class and it still would have movie critics gushing over it as "ground-breaking cinematic work". If Bush wins re-election, the chances will be 100% that we will see this film in the Oscars. If Kerry wins the election, I believe there is an 80% chance if only because the liberal anti-christ, George Bush, will no longer be in office and the Bush-haters in the world will need something else as their object of loathing. As for if it will win the Oscar, going on past experience, I believe it will be a shoo-in for the Oscar in the documentary category since there isn't a category for trash masquerading as movies. Remember, you heard it here first.
