Last night Scott brought home the movie An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary presented by Al Gore on his Global Warming slide show.  I've wanted to see it for a long time now so I was excited when Scott came home with it.  I have to say I was let down.  Maybe it was because of the hype -  It won an Academy Award, is the 4th highest grossing documentary and most likely was the final spur to help Gore win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only new things I learned in it were about Al Gore.  So maybe that was the main thing that let me down.  I was expecting it to teach me new things about the warming process, data, actions and reactions.  In a way I know a little more on the subject then "average" American, so maybe I shouldn't be expecting too much from it.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy a film like that was made and opened up many others eyes.  I'm glad it helped bring attention back to the environment again and taught people we need to do something, and yes we have the ability to do something about this issue.  I just expected something different from the film and when my expectations are not met then a film is hard for me to sit through.
