An Inconvenient Truth - Trailer [video] Gore's New Film
Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

The most terrifying movie of the summer. You owe it to the planet to see the truth. Pledge to see An Inconvenient Truth opening weekend. Watch the trailer:

Are wider releases planned?

5. Voorhees - the Ritz, South Jersey
Voorhees is just off 295 in South Jersey - take the exit for the Berlin Haddonfield Road.

9. exit 32 to be exact
Make a right at the light (if you took 295 N; take a left if you're coming from points north), follow Rt.561 straight to "Ritz Plaza", parking lot on the right after golden arches. It's not much, but it's my home town.

4. Thanks for the links! Happiness is finding out it will be playing in my
city. I think they learned from Far. 911. Our little theater made the most money they've ever made from that movie. Think they will show more movies that appeal especially to Democrats in the future.

6. My son met Gore at an invitation only screening of film in Seattle
I just sent my son the link to the video of Al Gore's great opening skit on SNL. He called to tell me it was terrific, and also that he got to meet Gore last week at a private screening for the environmental community in Seattle. He said the film was excellent, and that Gore asked them all to please generate as much buzz as they could in the environmental community around the country to increase demand and get more theaters to carry the film. So if you don't see a local theater on the list, call and ask them to book it. Here's a clip from the Seattle paper:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002965973_gore02m.html

Al Gore preaches about global warming.
More on "An Inconvenient Truth"

Just this year, Gore has been on the covers of Vanity Fair and Wired magazines. In March, more than 500 people at Seattle's Benaroya Hall saw a computerized slide show about climate change that Gore has been giving all over the world. The next day, Gore headlined an event about Seattle's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.Now he is in town for an invitation-only screening of a documentary film chronicling the presentations and his other work on global warming. "An Inconvenient Truth," which received standing ovations at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, opens in Seattle in June. A book of the same name is set to be released this month.

You get a sense from him that this is one of those moments in his life where all the work that he has been doing for 30 years on this is coming to a head," said Davis Guggenheim, who directed the new documentary. "The issue is getting more and more urgent. The writing is on the wall."

. . . the presentation is complete with video clips of melting glaciers crashing into oceans, animated explanations of how global warming works and carefully orchestrated punch lines. And people who have seen it say it's science with an emotional punch."It was a masterful exposition of the science and ethics of climate change, better than anything I've done myself or seen anyone else do," said Washington state climatologist Philip Mote.

Los Angeles Times gave Gore and the film a great write-up today.

10. I know everyone has to drive far. I know it's not a wide release,

but please see this movie. Please call your theaters to get it. I think many people who walk in regular people will come out environmentalists -- it's apparently THAT thought-provoking. People have reviewed the film saying that it made their hearts pump faster...Now THAT'S an impact!
