Second Mention: Matt Damon's Net Movie Is Going To Be Awful
— Ace

Well, you knew that already, because most of his movies are awful.

But you might not have known the specifics of why his next movie would be awful. Apart from it containing more Matt Damon than a good film can reasonably be expected to bear.

This is special. From @benk84's morning headlines.

I broke the news that “Promised Land” was about fracking and now I can reveal that the script’s seen some very hasty rewriting because of real-world evidence that anti-fracking activists may be the true villains.

In courtroom after courtroom, it has been proved that anti-fracking activists have been guilty of fraud or misrepresentation.

I'm omitting the recitation of the evidence of fraud -- not because it's not important, but just because I can't quote the whole thing. Point is, the "evidence" offered by anti-frakking advocates has turned out to be fraudulent.

Worse yet, the fraud has become well known and embarrassing. So, rewrite:

These frauds and misrepresentations created huge problems for the Damon/Krasinski script[.]

So, according to sources close to the movie, they’ve come up with a solution — suggest that anti-fracking fraudsters are really secret agents employed by the fossil-fuel industry to discredit the environmental movement.

In the revised script, Damon exposes Krasinski as a fraud — only to realize that Krasinski’s character is working deep undercover for the oil industry to smear fracking opponents.

But note the revised script still has environmentalists as the good guys, and the oil companies as the bad guys. In the previous script, the oil guys were doing horrible things (frakking) and the good environmentalists were standing up them.

In the new script, the oil guys are doing horrible things -- creating a fraudulent "frakking" narrative for the environmentalists to seize upon and thereby discredit themselves -- and the environmentalists are the would-be victims of this nefarious subterfuge. Still the good guys.

As Gabe wrote about: The scripts in Hollywood and storylines in the press may change day-to-day, but the Designated Villains are always the same.

True or false, like "An Inconvenient Truth", teachers will show this to students.

 

The mini-truth of  frakking  (good or bad)   does not largely matter. 

The meta-truth from them is that Business is Bad and the noble environmentalists/activists/populists are good. And the union teachers are arbiters of truth.  Yeah, right.

 

This "meta-truth" is the one that stays with the kids for years after they leave school. Some shed it early, some later, some never.

So, according to sources close to the movie, they’ve come up with a solution — suggest that anti-fracking fraudsters are really secret agents employed by the fossil-fuel industry to discredit the environmental movement.

 

So they're taking the South Park episode idea that the 9/11 conspiracy peddlers are actually government agents and thought it would be good for a drama.

The electricity has always come out of the plug in the wall, and always will, except when it doesn't, and then, like spoiled children, they will scream about it.  And then demand that THE GOVERNMENT BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!  RIGHT NOW!

 

And your government is doing something, in the form of  the EPA. Shutting down ~ 36,000 MW of coal fired electrical generation.  For the planet, the polar bears, and to start lowering the rising oceans. Or some kind of twaddle like that.

No one but committed liberals spends time reading him, much less quoting him and expecting that to win an argument. If I happened to be in the bar when this scene occurred, instead of being impressed, I would have just busted out laughing and started making fun of both of them for even bothering to read the guy.

146 US to boycott Iran leader's speech at UN summit (AFP) – 3 hours ago UNITED NATIONS — The United States on Wednesday slammed "repulsive slurs" against Israel by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and said it would boycott his speech at the UN General Assembly. Ahmadinejad, whose country faces growing pressure over its nuclear program, is one of the most high-profile speakers at the UN summit on Wednesday. He has made a series of comments attacking Israel and the West while in New York. "Over the past couple of days, we've seen Mr. Ahmadinejad once again use his trip to the UN not to address the legitimate aspirations of the Iranian people but to instead spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against Israel," said Erin Pelton, spokeswoman of the US mission to the United Nations, "It's particularly unfortunate that Mr. Ahmadinejad will have the platform of the UN General Assembly on Yom Kippur, which is why the United States has decided not to attend," Pelton added.

Big Ivy charges a fortune to teach liberal arts that makes you understand less about the real world than you did before you started. Then there's Big Government.
