2. Especially after the Disney ban
The voters at Cannes will use it to send a message to Disney.

3. It's also fairly obvious that he needs to add an extra segment
to the end of the film explaining how Jeb went about blackmailing Disney to squelch free speech. I trust Moore will not let us down.

8. Disney doesn't want to release Fahrenheit 911 because
They're scared of Jeb and what he might do to Disney World.

9. Is there any chance that...
being a fairly controversial person anyway, someone at Disney decided to get some free publicity for the movie by not releasing it? Do you believe that this movie will be locked in a vault below the magic kingdom and not seen for 1000 years? Disney will relent and release it (whether they like it or not) and do it at a more marketable time, like after Labor Day when people begin to pay more attention to politics again. Just like releasing "The Passion" on Ash Wednesday.

12. The NYT article said MM/Miramax was free to seek another distributor
At least that's what I think I read.
