He’s going from “An Inconvenient Truth” to “Inglourious Basterds.”
Yes, Al Gore is supporting Quentin Tarantino’s newest blood-drenched film about a group of Nazi-killers by hosting a premiere of the movie Thursday night in his hometown of Nashville, Tenn.
But it’s not totally random: The gory film is produced by Lawrence Bender, the man with whom Gore won an Academy Award with for their work together on the environmental documentary. Bender is the main person responsible for all of Tarantino’s films and is close friend of the director, so clearly he was skilled at going from humans killing humans to humans killing the Earth.
In traditional Nashville fashion, many country music stars are set to be in attendance. But too bad for Gore the film’s star and green advocate Brad Pitt will not be.
