Standing Ovations for Al Gore at Sundance

In the film "An Inconvenient Truth," former vice president, former candidate for president and current prophet of paranoid conspiracies Al Gore plays himself.

At the recent Sundance film festival the movie received numerous standing ovations from audiences.

The so-called documentary follows Gore as he travels around giving presentations to his admirers on, of all things, climate change.

In reality show style, the film shows a "spontaneous" Gore as he diligently works on his laptop by himself (supposedly unaffected by the camera crew that's present). He's also seen speaking to crowds and informing folks about the imminent threat of global warming.

The movie was produced by longtime activist and Dem supporter Lawrence Bender (producer of "Pulp Fiction").

The festival guide accurately calls the movie "activist cinema at its very best."

The Left Coast Report believes Gore may have a whole new career as an actor. If they ever make another sequel to "The Lord of the Rings," he'd make a perfect walking tree.
