Suncor v. Boulder: Biggest Climate Case Ever — The Climate Realism Show #220

So, uh, our second item, but it'll be our first item for today, is about the movie Digger, and we've titled it Digger Shovels Money into the Furnace, uh, which is what happened.

Uh, this is a huge bomb, and I think it's worth mentioning because nobody will remember this in about, uh, 25 minutes.

So, uh, [laughs] I'm gonna read a little bit about this disaster movie, uh, from our friend Christian Toto at his wonderful website, Hollywood in Toto.

His...

The headline is Digger Disaster, Climate Change Satire Scrapes Bottom of Barrel.

Cruise's Naked Attempt to Win an Oscar Backfires in Spectacular Fashion, which is awesome.

Let me read a little bit for you here.

Tom Cruise wants an Oscar very, very badly.

He's been terrific in serious dramas and blockbusters alike, and you can't blame him for wanting that golden statuette.

Along comes Digger, which offers a one-two punch for Oscar consideration.

The film casts Cruise in an over-the-top role that dramatically alters his appearance.

Check.

Uh, the narrative is all about climate change, a message that speaks to Hollywood's progressive heart.

Double check.

And it all backfires in spectacular fashion.

Put this one in the Louvre, a portrait of ego and ambition in a death cage, cage match against storytelling 101.

Endless speeches, most involving the horrors of climate change and how darn evil oil is.

Cruise's digger gets an extended close-up when he rants, raves, and reveals the truth about oil and culture.

We need it.

We crave it.

We'll risk, risk everything to burn it, so this is all our fault.

"Digger is a bloated, dull, obvious, utterly lacking in self-awareness and, yes, exhausting.

Would you want to spend two hours with grown men screaming at the top of their lungs?" No.

I'm like-

No, God!
