    He got his oscar at Cannes and by that fact alone, Cannes is a waste of everyones time. I say revoke the oscar!

    Losers! You're dirt poor and we own your sorry asses. Chances are, we own the company you work for. Our financial services industry makes hundreds of billions off of you suckers

    Well, Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d'Or last year, so it's not like Cannes is some sort of bastion of quality filmmaking.

  5. Can George Lucas Save "Star Trek"? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Given that Lucas has completed "Star Wars III", he has plenty of time on his hands. Do you suppose that he would lend a hand to save "Enterprise"?

    It badly needs better scripts and actors.

    Needless to say... never have such incorrectly words been chosen.

    THIS has to be the ultimate incorrect statement.

    Why all the hate, I (and most conservatives) don't hate MM, the Clinton's, Howard "yeargh" Dean, or most other sane liberals, we just think they are wrong, and can prove them wrong on may of their points.

    Wow, even the Fanboys have disappeared. Browsing at -1 there isn't a single person defending Star Wars.

    Agreed. I've seen shows on Community Television that are more coherently edited than Moore's "films."
