I just finished watching an inconvient truth by Al Gore. I have to say that I was more than a little disappointed. The documentary spent too much time explaining the effects of global warming and not enough time spent educating the viewers on how the average person can make changes. There were some tips that were mixed in with the credits, but lots of people don't sit through credits. It didn't blow my socks off, most of the info I already knew.
The next movie I watched was Pirates of the Carribean 2. I had seen it in the theatre with Sarah in the summer. But we sat by the exit and tons of people came in late and were coming and going so I didn't really concentrate on the movie. The theatre was almost full, and the people that came late couldn't find a seat, so they stood in the aisle beside me for a good chunk of the movie.
What movie should be next? Any suggestions? Not being in school is killing me! I am sooo bored.

I say you rent Tsotsi and see what life is like in the townships of Johannesburg.
Or if you want to go see a movie, we liked Borat and Casino Royale. The holiday is good and Suds liked Flushed Away.
Or another movie to rent is Wimbledon (with Kiki Drunkst and Paul Bettany)
Enjoy!!
holy! You've been watching a lot of movies. I do want to see casino royale, but haven't been able to find it at my favorite place
Yah, I have to agree that I was also disappointed with the lack of info actually in the movie on what people can do to help the situation, that's why I put that link up on my blog. I wondered how many people would actually bother checking it out after they saw the movie.
Hopefully the movie will open more peoples eyes to what's going on....I knew it was a massive problem, but seeing some of those visuals made a real impact on me.
Any bets on whether or not Gore will run for President again?? This has sure increased his profile.
so we just watched the al gore movie and i though he did a great job with the visualization turning facts and figures of scientists into a vision that the average person can grasp and understand. i think as he even said this was geared at the skeptics of global warming trying to change their opinion than those like you who already knew what was happening but maybe just didn't know the small things you as a person can do. i actually thought it was really good. i will see if it actually worked on a skeptic like francis when he wakes up from his nap!!!
