Please go see "An Inconvenient Truth"!!!!
This is the most important movie you will ever see. I just finished seeing it and I am scared and motivated to work on this issue. We can't pretend this crisis doesn't exist any longer. This has to be the planet's first priority. Just go see it!!!

Here's a link to the movie's website that will let you find a theater near you:

Even if you can't see the movie, we all need to make changes in our lives. Demand that politicians will take action. Reduce driving, reduce your own energy consumption, support candidates that will make a difference.

3. I contacted the largest theater chain in my area
and asked when they would be showing it. They aren't listed on that link. The movie is bringing in big box office $'s in the few places that it has opened. Makes you wonder why it won't be showing in more theaters.

7. It's playing on two movie screens all this weekend
and appears to be sold out for many showings. (SF Bay Area) I hope you can find a theater to show it. It's important.

12. Same here.
It was a stunning film, and one that makes science accessible to all.

5. It's so cool, they're giving out tickets on my favorite radio station.
The neat part is, she gave a bunch away, and then had to find more since it was so popular. Yay.

WMBR in Boston rules!

9. We were going to see it this evening,
but we spent all day repairing/replacing black board fencing and now we're too damn tired to move!

I think we will see it tomorrow, and when my mom calls tomorrow I'll tell her to see it too.

13. i'm pretty sure we will
W were kind of sad that we couldn't get there today, but the closest theater that is showing it is an hour and change away, and I thought it would be rude to fall asleep in the middle. :)

16. I just came back from seeing it.
I thought I knew a fair amount about the issue. It turns out I had no idea how bad it is. Gore's great gift is the ability to take complex scientific data and make it accessible to the average person without seeming condescending.

It is one of the great tragedies of this nation that this man was denied the victory that was rightfully his. If we lived by the notion that the candidate with the most votes--not the one with the most aggressive lawyers wins the election, the world would be a vastly different place.

18. Saw it today...a must, MUST see movie!
Gore laid it out like I'd never seen it done before. He used graphs, photographs, and even cartoons...but the real impact came from his presentation of the data.

Wow. It was nice to see my president...a man who is cogent, intelligent, and at times, funny.

19. and major props for the book, as well
I got it yesterday, because the movie won't open in my town for 2 weeks. Excellent presentation, very readable, and the science is right up to date.
