It is without a doubt the most important movie I've ever seen come along.

If you're not seeing it I'd like to know why not?

I saw it and it's incredibly well done and stands a chance of waking people up from their apathy.

From what I can tell, it doesn't have a huge distribution right now. So there are some valid reasons. I'll be out of town next week, though, and am planning on seeing it then.

until it comes to the nearest city, and I'll still have to drive 1 1/2 hours.

I don't even know if its in South Dakota yet, but I know I have to drive about an hour and a half to get to a theater--a theater that's showing An Inconvenient Truth? I don't even know how far . . .

Material-wise not much in there that folks in this forum don't already know.

But rhetoric-wise it is definitely worth going to see it anyway. Some very clever angles are presented that it seems evident have been fine-tuned to deal with some of the fossil-whore propaganda we have to deal with in the blogosphere.

Remember -- it's important to rescue the frog :-)

I was thrilled they saved the frog -- as was the rest of the audience in my theater, hee! But (sob!) why didn't that poor polar bear rate a rescue? I literally started crying when I saw that helpless guy try to step on the melting little ice floes. :( (shakes fist) Damn you Al!!!!

(My tendency to over-empathize is kinda pathetic, I know. I have to say to myself: it's only animation ... it's only animation ... )

that a frog won't really sit in boiling water. Kind of an urban legend. Glad they saved the frog too though even if he would have saved himself anyway!

Ohio Congressional Candidate for the 3rd District, Dr. Stephanie Studebaker, had a fundraising/showing this afternoon! OMG was this a terrific documentary! I took the kids too!

Awesome information. Al Gore is a special soul. O8)

By any standards, Gore's flick deserves all the accolades it has received--and more than it will.

I went to see "Inconvenient Truth" on Friday with my better half and her girlfriend. We all agreed that it was one of the best documentaries we've seen in a long while. My better half, who has a tendency to fall asleep in flicks, sat their transfixed the entire time.

If DUer's don't see this movie, they are going to miss out on a unique experience.

where they pan this movie as being the 'lamest worst movies ever' (no... they haven't seen it).

They talk about how bad it's doing (despite the sparse distribution... a point of subtlety lost on the misanthropes).

Wait 'till it hits DVD and they can't keep it on the shelves.
