Hollywoord: Pushing Global Warming Down Your Throat
My first post for Andrew Breitbart’s new blog adventure, Big Hollywood, is up. You can read it here. The main subject of the post is global warming, and then specifically the way Hollywood treats this rather nuanced and difficult subject. There is another point to the post, however, which is how Hollywood movies often confirm existing anti-American myths and talking points.
One of Hollywood’s main heroes today is former Vice President Al Gore due to the success of his film “An Inconvenient Truth.” In this documentary, Gore tries to explain to the public that man-made global warming is real and that something has to change if we want to undo the damage we cause to this wonderful planet which would have been so much more wonderful if only those pesky humans lived on, say, Mars.
Since the above is a message Hollywood can believe in, liberal actors and directors (but I am repeating myself) jumped on the bandwagon and repeated it whenever possible. See for instance the $80 million remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still” starring Keanu Reeves. Sci-Fi fans like myself will be happy to know that watching this movie is like listening to Barbara Streisand (or Jane Fonda) give a a political speech. The original movie may have been great, the remake is nothing but Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” poured in a sci-fi jacket.

Sorry but you are incorrect. The day the earth stood still had its message but it never ever pushed that message on you. It was a sentence and that was it about how we treat the earth and each other. Doesn’t sound too global warming too me. This movie could have done so much better at the box office if people like you were honest about how “big” the global warming msg was in the movie. Which was Nill to a seconds worth. And got off thier high horse about the ‘remake of a classic” give me a break.
