TURN OFF THE COMPUTER NOW AND GO SEE "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH"
This movie is amazing, visually incredible and riviting.

More importantly, it presents the REAL SCIENCE (nobody is denying it) in an easily understandable way.

THIS CAN BE THE THING THAT WAKES PEOPLE UP FROM THEIR APATHY OR MISTAKEN BELIEF THAT THERE IS STILL A DEBATE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND IT'S CAUSES!

PLEASE go see this movie tonight. The box office this weekend will send out a signal to others to see it.

6. Apologies to all where it's not released yet!
Glad to see you're planning to see it when it does hit your city/town/hamlet.

Tell everyone you know prior to then that you heard it's an AMAZING movie. You're not lying, 'cause I've seen it and it is.

And try to drag along as many friends and family as you can.

It was even more compelling the second time.

10. If we don't have time to see it, can we just buy some tickets and go home?
Just to DU the box-office numbers?

Actually, I've been trying to see it, but it will be hard getting my four year old daughter to sit through it with me.

14. Yes. :)
Get a babysitter, go see it. Even the choir will learn a thing or two.

And it's stunning.

12. My one and only theater
is not planning to show it. Plus, the one and only theater in my town does not have wheelchair seating.

I've been to the Inconvenient Truth site and sent them an email begging them to sell DVDs to those of us that that are unable to see it.

16. We'd love to but it's not any where near us or even on the calendar yet.
The closest so far is in Syracuse but since I do think the theatre down in Canton or Potsdam (college towns) will eventually show it, we'll wait... a 20 minute drive is cheaper and better for the environment then 2 1/2 hrs. :)

17. IT'S NOT HERE YET
I want to see it, but it's not here yet (or a lot of other places). Also, I think most people here already believe in global warming, so there's no need to yell at us ;)

19. I KNOW! BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE IT ON OPENING WEEKEND
WHATEVER WEEKEND THAT HAPPENS TO BE IN YOUR AREA!

DU is the choir, but there are still people here who are apathetic about taking steps to curb C02.

And even the choir will learn something from this movie.
