LOL, Al Gore loves him some Al Gore.

Admit that I've never seen the movie but didn't feel the need.
I think he's riffing on the old "I invented the internet" RWNJ meme. That's how they branded Gore similarly to how they branded Clinton as shrill. RWNJ talking points used to marginalize the climate change cause.

Didn't see it that way. Oh well.
You didnt find it odd that every 10 mins or so they would cut away from the topic and talk about Al Gore... from childhood onward? Never saw that in a doc before... some self glorification going on there....

Most producers and directors prefer not to distract from the subject at hand.

93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes aggregated from the reviews of dozens of professional film critics. Glad you know what makes for a great documentary, though. Again, I found every frame informative and pertinent. Sorry you had a different subjective experience.

Who said i didnt find it informative? A doc can be bad for many reason reasons, but that doesnt mean it wasnt factual.

I dunno... these days of tribal politics it seems if you criticise somthing it assumed by default you must be pro the opposite. My anti trump sentiments made me pro hillary and bernie, which was never the case. Im just anti trump, which goes with my general distatse for stupidity is all.

So for the record...my critcism here of Gore does not make me a non believer of climate change.

Fair enough, good chap of the north. I don't know why I'm giving you shit. Gore moved the ball forward, though.

He did. And he did a hell of a job of it.

And he made a shit load of money doing it, by exploiting his celebrity and putting a whorish shine on himself in the process. Shady...lol

He invested money into the production and the investment paid off. This is called doing well by doing good.

If it were fake news, like the one about Obama taking over the US in 2016 (this is the highest moneymaking documentary ever), I'd agree. But to make a movie about something like AGW. Actually that's kind of ballsy.

Al Gore gave me great reflexes. I could turn off the TV faster than anybody on the planet when he got puffed up for a speech. That said, your complaint just seems hollow and fake to me.

I think even "marginally" is a step too far, nominally I would have said.

Like I can nominally affect the wind by flapping my arms like a bird.

Or I went to bed to sleep...

I'm not trying to run you off, o contraire mon ami, pointing out how retarded you continuously are is quite the joyous past-time.

If your troll was better you would've baited me better to explain how RF shit works and your future troll would be better for it...

You don't think I know your game? I was playing along, dumbass.
