Last Tuesday my bro called me to got to the Sneak Preview. It's a special thing that the movie theather has, on Tuesday nights show a 'random' movie that isn't out yet for a reduced price. Random as in they don't tell us which one they'll show, which is one of the reasons it's cheaper than usual (the other reason being the day, I guess Tuesday's is usually the slowest day for them). I usually never go to the sneak peek, because you never know what kind of junk you can get. But since Snakes on a Plane would soon show, and my bro had already seen TFATF:Tokyo Drift in one of those sneak previews once, I decided to try my luck.
They showed An Inconvenient Truth. A movie about Al Gore's fight against global warming. People actually walked out during the movie. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, on the contrary, it's a great movie. For a documentary. I don't even mind it being a documentary, they make really interesting ones nowadays. I (and with me the rest of the audience of a fully packed room) just didn't set my expectations on watching a documentary when going out into town in the evening. There is one funny thing about this though. Even though it's meant as a serious documentary and the movie layout is basically a college class, the trailer makes it look like it's the newest Terminator movie... Talk about creating fake expectations :rolleyes:
But that's beside the point I wanted to make in this post (by now, you'll probably know I tend to side-step before I get to the main point :P). However, it would become quite a long rant, so I'll just save it for another time. to be continued I guess...

But it's about global warming man! Take care of our earth, and peace and love and everything, man!
and....pass the spliff! far out!
bah.. it's ok... let our children pay the debt.. just like how our ancestors are making us pay their debts :P
nono i'm kidding of course
hahahah, well if our ancestors could, why can't we :P
But really, global warming has been an issue for so many years already, but no one ever seems take action against it, except of course all those nature experts.
The movie was interesting, although the main point of it is plenty obvious already.. And it also didn't "shock me to the core" or something like that, which the trailer proclaims...
