Proud to say I haven't been in a theater since 'The Hunt for Red October'.

Al Gore may actually recycle!

From looking at Al last night, he probably is recycling MANY beer cans....

When Algore was on stage with Leonardo DiCapria, the big board behind them showed a message that read "You can get your CO2 emissions down to zero". There is only one way to do that.
Amd why did Melissa Etheridge use electric guitars made out of wood? And how about that Sound Effect Orchestra? WOW! THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

How about an oscar for a thirteen minute video that runs rings around Al's movie.

This is Al "No Controlling Legal Authority" Gore, right? I feel the need to create my own "controlling authority" and it goes like this: Anyone who wants to talk about man-caused global warming must be "living their faith", that is, no car, no heat, no AC, no farting, - or show me where they've purchased their "carbon credits" to offset their horrible emissions - or else STFU. If they want to play along with this being "a moral, not a political" issue, fine - as long as they don't object to having their moral "credentials" examined.

Luckily I did not watch the Academy Rewards ceremony (I never have) so I did not have to throw any type of bucket to the TV.
How did Algore get the reward? Has he become a producer/director, and where did he get all this knowledge regarding global warming? The man must be a genius. He does not belong in politics where he would be wasting his "talents".

"yesterday at the Nascar race in SoCal everybody was wearing a parka - mid 50s and windy"

I was hoping for cold weather in Los Angeles for yesterday. It would be appropriate for Gore's award.

"An Irrelevant Award for an Inconvenient truth"

Just out of curiosity, how many Oscars have previously been awarded to propaganda films?

Prop·a·ganda: Material disseminated by the advocates of a doctrine or cause.

How many viewers of this documentary actually paid to see this piece, or even went out of their way to view it?
How many copies of this propaganda piece were given away to schools and activist groups?

For the last ten years, data is available to know how many people have paid to rent "documentaries" like this piece of crap?
Will it be ever among the top 100 Oscar-winning documentaries ever produced?
Where does it rank now among rentals?

Just idle speculation...

Stop breathing and farting.

Ugh, wish I could say that. I got pressured into seeing "snakes on a plane" with some good friends of mine. Everybody was embarrassed afterword...it was even worse than I imagined it would be. Prior to that, I think "Saving Private Ryan" was the last movie I saw in a theater...

Sunday, Gore used the Oscar win not to further his political career but to boost his campaign scam .

Was that last night?
I remember realizing there was nothing new and good on TV, so I watched re-runs of Stargate and Mayberry RFD.
To bed early with the latest Dirk Pitt Clive Cussler novel...

Did I miss anything exciting?

Gore didn't receive an Oscar, the director did and invited Big Al up on stage to share the limelight.

They should change the name from Oscar's to the "Leni's".

Gore's Global Warming Doc Wins Oscar

It was disappointing to learn how low the bar has fallen to meet the Oscar’s documentary requirements. The saddest part is that it diminishes all true documentaries

No, but they will claim credit. That is the beauty of their scam...when global warming doesn't happen then they can say that they saved the planet via all the sacrifice,taxes, Kyoto etc...

See how profitable fear mongering is!

And he claims he uses renewable energy credits to offset the pollution he produces when using a private jet to promote his film.

This concept of "renewable" energy bugs me. One of the basic principles of physics is Conservation of Energy -- energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.

And even if what he says is possible, I wonder how many pairs of socks Al Gore would have to hang on a clothes line to make up for one of his trips in a private jet.
