okay. dark horizons drops an interesting newsbite this morning about the proposed release dates for michael moore's upcoming farenheit 9/11.

here's what the films about.
"The senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months
after Sept. 11...It (the new project) certainly does deal with the Bush and bin Laden ties, it asks a number of questions that I don't have the answers to yet, but which I intend to find out".

A portion of the doco will deal with the business relationship between former president George Bush and the late Saudi construction magnate Mohammed bin Laden (Osama's father). However overall the main thrust of the film will be examining what has happened to the United States since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

but, here's some kinda disturbingly weird news.

The film's french distributors Wild Bunch (outputing through Miramax in the US) are trying to target a world premiere at Cannes but in regards to it's official release, its date will probably be November, 2004... election day!

wha?? i thought the goal of this film was to make public the relationship between the two families, thus making it impossible for george w bush to get back into the oval office. what kind of lame ass release date is election day???

i just emailed mike about it. and i urge you to do the same. ask him to talk to miramax about changing the release date to a couple of months earlier so it can actually make the impact i know it can on the results of the election.

thank you.

in other news.
i never talk about celine dion but this was worth mentioning -- her father passed away yesterday morning.

even though she's hopped on the crappy train to crap music i don't give a shit about her, especially now that it looks she's been trying to look like a man for the past year or so, not a lot of people do give a rat's ass about her, but i thought this kind of news was worth mentioning.
