LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The media love a controversy. Hollywood, on the other hand, is a lot more ambivalent.
The past few weeks have witnessed a couple of classic 'controversies' as the talking heads -- or make that butting heads -- have had at it over the Walt Disney Co.'s refusal to allow Miramax Films to distribute 'Fahrenheit 9/11.' And they then moved on to debate whether 20th Century Fox's multimillion-dollar disaster pic 'The Day After Tomorrow' is actually an environmentalist Trojan horse.
In the first case, Disney demurred that it wanted to wash its hands of Michael Moore's documentary because the company didn't want to offend any of its wide-sprung patrons by dabbling in anything that smacks of politics. And for his part, Moore denied any suggestions that he and Harvey Weinstein had played any role in stirring up the brouhaha that served as a prelude to the film capturing the Palme d'Or at Cannes."
