But Al Gore gave it two green thumbs up

Echoing a thought I had earlier this week, my local liberal rag "arts" weekly concluded a review of "The Day After Tomorrow" thusly:

If you give a damn about the issues it raises, you’ll depart this movie convinced that it’s a cunning right-wing plot to smear the scientists and politicians who champion this cause. A terrible film about an important subject doesn’t boldly get folks talking; it gets folks snickering.

The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy strikes again!
