View Full Version : Critics Blast Al Gore's Documentary As 'Realistic'
Critics Blast Al Gore's Documentary As 'Realistic'
May 31, 2006 | Issue 42•22
NEW YORK— The Al Gore-produced global-warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth is being panned by critics nationwide who claim the 90-plus minute environmental film is "too disturbingly realistic and well-researched to enjoy." "I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief in man-made climate change for the first half-hour—and utterly impossible after that—which makes for a movie-going experience that's far more educational than it is enjoyable," said New York Post film critic Skip Hack. "Gore's film overwhelms viewers with staggering amounts of scientific information until nothing about global warming is left to the imagination, and that's just not good entertainment. Two stars."
Some critics have called the film's claims that sea levels could rise 20 feet somewhat sensationalistic, although most agree that this is not enough to save the film from being unwatchably factual.

[too] unwatchably factual.
The critics' remarks speak for themselves. The world is full of dumbshits.

Fuck Gore and his censorship PMRC hag wife but I don't get this 'win your own state' thing.
Is it a tribal thing?
Would you vote for Hitler if he came from Orange County?
OK bad example...:)

Neocons don't care about the Earth because the Baby Jesus, at any minute now, is coming back to take them all into Heaven.

:rolleyes: even FORD believes in Jesus, and he is the most liberal person I've met in my whole life. You don't think This stuff happened all randomly, You do realize how Scientifically impossible that is for everything to be perfect enough for us to live on this planet. There has to be something out there.

No hatred here. Just a grown man that doesn't believe in fairy tales anymore. Talking snakes belong in Disney movies.

I never said that I didn't believe in Jesus. Count Dracula may have really enjoyed drinking blood, but he probably couldn't really turn into a bat.
Please don't speak of science and faith in the same conversation, you just sound silly.
