The Green Inferno 'flames out'

the-green-inferno-690x1024[1]Green Movie in the Red

Story submitted by Kevin D Knoebel

The movie is The Green Inferno. NYC student activists travel to Amazon to save the rainforest, meet natives. Hilarity ensues.

It was suddenly pulled from the release schedule, and was supposed to be out September 5th. It’s said the financing company doesn’t have the money for the release:

Bloody Disgusting writes:

Deadline is reporting that Green Inferno, the Roth-directed film about student activists who travel from Gotham to save the Amazon rainforest only to be pursued by a cannibal tribe, has been taken off Open Road’s release calendar. The film was scheduled for wide release on September 5. We’ve been supporting the film heavily here on the site after we posted this positive review last September.

They write that this happened because financier Worldview Entertainment is balking at ex-CEO Christopher Woodrow’s commitment to provide the P&A.

This is a very important movie to showcase the joys of being a student activist who has traveled to underdeveloped countries to help indigenous people combat the effects of climate change and greedy multinational corporations.

I suggest we should petition the distributor to hold a Kickstarter to fund the release. As the incentive gift for donors, I propose an e-booklet (to save the trees) filled with info for combating the real myths about climate change.

OH my! Can we re-film with Mickibben, Mann, etc. Much more fun. “Tastes Like Chicken”.

McKibben and Mann (et alia) would have a flavor rather more suited for immediate consignment to the village midden.
I rather imagine a stern cannibal mom admonishing her child: “Spit it out this instant! Do you know where that thing’s been?

If I’m reading this right, this is a highly creative way of social disruption of global warming alarmism: by sending true global warming mythbusting (i.e. lack of warming, etc.) booklets to all the uber green but sadly ignorant young wacktivati that will naturally give to fund such movies.
I like it.
Clever.

Sounds like something the EPA might fund.

So if she was pursued by cannibals did she get eaten? Or at least gnawed on? Which begs the question, was she advocating that the tribes turn to a vegetarian diet to save the rainforests? And was her inclusion on the menu a sort of tit for tat? Inquiring minds want to know.

Well we could, but they’re very difficult to clean. 😉

Two guys are sitting in a cannibal stew pot, The fire’s been lit. Suddenly one of the guys starts to laugh hysterically. The other guy says ” What’s so funny?”.
“I just peed in their soup” says the first.

Leaving aside, the use of WUWT to review movies.
What exactly is a “Kickstarter” ??

Kickstarter is a global crowdfunding program, started in 2009:

A missionary’s seven year old son was playing with the seven year old son of the chief of the cannibals. The cannibal’s son was promptly admonished not to play with his food and to mind his manners.

Don’t cannibals understand the concept of ‘food miles’?

The eco-nasties version of Bonfire of the Vanities?.
They may be drifting into accidental reality.
If animal protein is bad, shall be discontinued to save the planet, I guess vegans will offer a pale substitute.

Two cannibals were eating a clown, one says to the other “Hey does this guy taste funny to you?”

August 10, 2014 3:09 pm

It could have been another episode in the “Carry-on” Series, with enough Green funding….:Carry on up the Amazon”
Perhaps they were pursued by cannibals because they suggested that the cannibals should become vegetarians to save the rainforests from Globull Warming?

… the Roth-directed film about student activists who travel from Gotham to save the Amazon rainforest only to be pursued by a cannibal tribe,…
So, they were going to feed the indigenous rainforest people.
What’s wrong with that?

August 10, 2014 3:33 pm

I wonder what they will come up with as a “an effect of climate change.” ? And exactly what do those greedy international companies (why are they always “multinational companies”? What, no greedy national companies?) want there in the Amazon?

Cannibals overheard discussing eating Gore and Mann – `They taste alright but they`re tough to clean.

Obviously you’ve all heard of the cannibal who was too late for dinner and only got a cold shoulder.
