Tonight, tonight, tonight …
Had the privilege of attending the People’s Republic of Santa Monica LA premiere of Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney’s FrackNation last night. The New York Post’s Kyle Smith will do a much better job of giving you a decent review, so even though Phelim didn’t utililze the services of our own EPA-slaying Rich Trzupek, instead relying on (amongst others) a couple Penn State professors to help debunk myths about the dangers of fracking, I will merely highly recommend it for your living room on 1/22 — AXS.tv (channel 340 for you DirecTV subscribers). You won’t get international film and television star Nick Searcy leading the post-movie Q&A session like we did, but you already knew that. Yes, unlike the fact-filled and Gasland makers-infuriating documentary, I am a stinkah.
If you get an Oscar nomination for fearmongering based on rumors and lies, what do you get for debunking the Oscar nominee? Nothing, probably, but Phelim McAleer, who in FrackNation gleefully shreds assertions made in the anti-fracking documentary Gasland, should be content to have struck a blow for truth.

A 5 or 6 minute trailer to FrackNation should be mandatory before every viewing of the propaganda laden “Promised Land”.
True…Lenin called it “Agitation and Propaganda”.Hitler called it “Propaganda and Enlightenment”.Same difference.
One of the many cool things Phelim said during the Q&A was that while he actually liked Promised Land (insert a few chuckling gasps from the packed audience), he’s genuinely irked Damon won’t be intellectually honest it’s an anti-fracking labor of love.
Reds have always been better at lying,Eric.Why we have President Obama!
Feck off anti-frackers, we’re fecking fracking!
INFJ, I was looking at some Meyers-Briggs stuff the other day… My guess is I’m an ENTP. Can we still be friends?
Depending on where each letter is on the scale, Rufus. I’d say, as long as you don’t live in my house (God help your wife) we’d get along just fine. Calm down and start picking up after yourself.
My wife is a saint, but you probably already guessed that!
Well, of course I knew that, I’m an INFJ.
I’m jealous! I’ve heard Phelim and Ann on the radio and they sound like great people. Thanks for the heads up on the broadcast.
It was on 6-7:30pm so I missed it. It’s on again Saturday, 01/26, 9am (I’ll be at my baby’s shower), and then again on Saturday, February 2, 7am. All PST and Channel 1106 on AT&T Uverse.
Just finished watching it. Very, very good. And very, very disturbing. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll spread the word to others to watch.
