Review: An Inconvenient Truth

Posted by Ali at 23:42 on 03 Oct 2006 Reviews A-Z

Man, is this ever a hard sell: a former Presidential candidate waxes lyrical on the perils of global warming while his Powerpoint presentation plays in the background, complete with stats, graphs and - gasp - pie charts.

Also, let me caption the second-to-last pic of Gore. \"If I make a serious face while putting my hand under my chin, then people will think I know what I\'m talking about! Score! Instant credibility!\" They all look so concerned...how cute.

Eh, I didn\'t see this movie yet. When is this \"Global Warming \" thing supposed to happen? If it\'s after I\'M dead, then why the hell should I care?

Enjoy your deathtrap, ladies!

\"These are my Vice-Presidential Action Rangers\"

\"Put them way before I take them away!\"

There\'s a Futurama clip in this, too. He seems like a genuinely straight shooter, a nice guy. If Dubya had lost the election, I\'d imagine he\'d have gone back to being a drunken cowboy. Not so our Al.

Have you seen him in Futurama? Hilarious.

\"Peace out y\'all!\"

It hurts my brain thinking what he\'d be like as President. On this evidence, he\'d have been a caring, environmentally-friendly President who drove to work in a recycled car and let squirrels wander round the Oval office.

Don\'t you wish Gore had shown a bit of this genial and humourous side of his personality when he was running for President?

I still blame Ralph Nader for everything though.
