“How big is Hollywood’s carbon footprint?”
I just got back from (driving to and from) seeing “Street Kings”, today’s violent action-packed cop-thriller-killer matinee movie. Now, I wonder about how big Hollywood’s carbon footprint is. The Screenvision “Go Green” preshow will continue until April 24, host Bradford Howe, activist actress [aren’t they all?] Aisha Tyler, and The Alliance for Climate Protection pestering the rest of us to do likewise, with fifteen minutes of nagging-nanny agenda-driven environmentalist propaganda.
Tommy Lee Jones narrates a gloomy black-balloon energy-usage piece, followed by Dave Schlafman’s “Sky is Falling” cartoon. I have to laugh when Ms. Tyler reminds us that we can use video/audio conferencing instead of flying. Has she informed these Gore Whores, Jimmy Carter, and three presidential candidates? She also tells us that we can find out how big our carbon footprints are by getting online.
During the first Go Green preshow that I had to sit through (now a half-dozen or so ago), this hypocritical Hollywood nagging had me angry and gagging. Especially while I am watching previews of spectacular action-packed movies, seeing aircraft and racing roaring vehicles with squealing tires, fires, explosions and gunfire. How big is the carbon footprint of a typical movie crew, with all of those SUVs, trucks and trailers?
Finally, I could not resist yelling at Bradford and Aisha, while they smiled and babbled at me from that big movie screen: “WE COULD QUIT DRIVING TO THE MOVIES!” Other audience members seemed to agree with me. Ah, who can stay home and away from Indiana Jones? PLEASE, LEAVE US ALONE!
