i saw An Inconvenient Truth last night, and i know i know i'm late to jump on the bandwagon (well.. the inconvenient truth bandwagon, but i've been an environmentalist forever :P - thanks joan!) but it was really good. at first you watch it, and you feel kind of helpless.. like "all these bad things are happening and there's nothing i can do"... but it makes you realize there are things you can do, and things that we can change, and i hope that this film is a catalyst for that. so.. i think you should go see it - plus it's free. (i like the earth, i like free.. works out..) and al gore is scheduled to be there as well.. that'll probably be really interesting and possibly inspiring :) (another thought that came out of watching that movie was "fuckin florida!") har har har. anyway.. here's the info:

FREE SCREENING: An Inconvenient Truth
Saturday June 24, 8pm
CALIFORNIA PLAZA
350 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles CA 90071
http://www.lafilmfest.com/tixSYS/2006/filmguide/event.php?EventNumber=4397

you should go see it if you haven't already, bring your friends and parents, it's really good and informative. i'm debating taking my parents to go see it .. i hope that the message wouldn't be lost on them... but it's one of those films that definitely makes you aware yah know? reminds you of what you should really care about.. inspires you. haha.. funny enough this is the same feeling i would get after coming back from circle k conventions :P it made me glad that my parents never let me get that SUV i always wanted, it made me want to buy a prius, it makes me want to go plant trees. haha.

favorite funny part from the movie is when al gore compares gold bars against "mm... THE ENTIRE PLANET".. okay.. looks stupid when i write it out, but it's so funny. i echo the sentiment of kevin & bean of "al, why weren't you this guy 6 years ago!" (awhile ago) they also re-capped this moment when he was on the tonight show -

Jay Leno: "How do you feel being treated like a movie star?"
Gore: "Well, it's not all all easy. For example, I'm in this huge feud with Lindsay Lohan now."
Leno: "Really? Can you give us a little more?"
Gore: "No, she knows what she did."

hi.larious.

okay, back to the topic on hand - if you can't make it to the screenign tomorrow you should definitely go see it in theatres! you won't be dissapointed.

go now.
