To Start The Day With A Laugh

Hey folks,

I though this was pretty funny. Seems I’m not the one giving out special awards. It is funny to me, and possibly you too , to hear that a movie that noone is watching is winning an award. That’s right, since it’s release, Al Gore’s documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", has grossed a mere $6,567,780, according toMovieweb.com. This is nothing in "Movieland".

This means that nobody is going to see it. Nobody is going to buy the book, which he is releasing also. Nobody cares about this movie. I usually check out those radicle releases from these people, and even I do not want to se it. But I probably will rent it when it comes to video and DVD, if for no other reason than a laugh.

But even though nobody cares about this movie, it is winning an award. Got to love the tight nit Liberal Looneys. "Hey since noone wants to see this, we will make Al feel better, we will help him out. We will give this movie an award, then watch the sales take off." {Sigh}

The rare recognition from the Humanitas Prize, which honors screen writers that helps "liberate, enrich and unify society", um ok, will give Al and his failed attempt to draw attention to global warming, the organization's first Special Award in over 10 years, president Frank Desiderio announced yesterday. The last one went to Bill Moyers and Judith Davidson Moyers in 1995 for their documentary "What Can We Do About Violence."

Frank Desiderio said in a statement, "It's a very important film. We want to shine a light on it."

Translation, he is one of us. He is failing. We need to help him, help movie sales, and help him to feel better about the fact this movie is failing. We cannot have one of our own’s feelings hurt. This will help him.

Of course Al Gore and the documentary's director, Davis Guggenheim, are "thrilled" with the recognition, Davis Guggenheim said that Humanitas "supports the achievements and sacrifices of filmmakers trying to change the world."

"Change the world" Mr. Guggenheim? For this to happen, someone would need to believe in the vision of the writer. Be willing to follow what the writer says. Oh yeah, they would need to SEE the movie.
