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.

I would pay box office prices just to see a flick about young idiots – feeling all smarmy-like and self-righteous – being chased by hungry cannibals. The Monty Python theme song comes to mind as background music… 😀
Hmmm. . .That wasn’t exactly what they had in mind, was it?
Hilarious song by Ray Stevens, quote apropos for this discussion. . . and for that movie if it ever comes out:
can’t resist this thread…..
Worldview Entertainment doesn’t have the money for the release, exclaiming “Are you crazy, it’ll cost us an arm and a leg!”
The basic idea of the movie seems to be stolen from “State of Fear” by Michael Crichton, where a self-righteous and “world-saving” green actor is eaten by “unspoiled and naturally friendly behaving” cannibals of a Solomon island… 😉
By the way: The story line of this thrilling novel by Crichton is rather crazy and unrealistic but his description and analysis of the methods of climate scaremongering by green interest groups is still very accurate and up to date, unfortunately… 🙁
The guys who rate films (MPAA) coughs up an “R” for …. “aberrant violence and torture, grisly disturbing images, brief graphic nudity, sexual content, language and some drug use.” That alone might drag some greenies in to watch their CAGW heroes in action.
– to red for me, i´ll better wait for this one…

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 told you it was getting warmer”
Two cannibals were having supper. “Your wife makes great soups” said one to the other. “Yes” agreed the first, “but I am going to miss her terribly.”
“Mannnnn ! That is such a bummer.” — a la The Dude
They should just replay Avatar. Same story, same message. Their funding seems to be a bit like ‘unobtainium’ (aaargh! The person who thought that was a good idea for the film should be shot).
They might be lucky and find cannibals who are on a vegan free diet.
Watched the trailer. Looks like the plane did a job on part of the rain forest when it crashed.
heh everytime I think of rainforest I think of south park rainforest-shmainforest

wish there was way to skip the ad there
The premise doesn’t add up. Cannibals, being one with nature, would obviously not eat anything that was raised with hormones, steroids, anti-biotics, and other artificial additives. Well, maybe the students had “organic” tattoos on them that fooled the cannibals. Guess they don’t know to actually check the ingredients for themselves.
Crichton’s other novels have been made into movies–why not this one too!?

OH my! Can we re-film with Mickibben, Mann, etc. Much more fun. “Tastes Like Chicken”.
Well we could, but they’re very difficult to clean. 😉

They are full of sh*t and rotten to the core.

“Missing heat” Trenberth, Chicken of the Sea.
Two cannibals are eating a missionary. One started at the head, the other at the feet. The first cannibal asks “How are you doing”? The other replies, “Man, I’m having a ball”. To which the first replies……….You are eating too fast.
And then there is the one about the cannibal who is boiling a missionary. The other cannibal says, “Man, you can’t do this! This man is a friar.”
(Ie, to be fried and not boiled. Get it?)
Am I the only one whose first thought was that it would make a good Benny Hill episode. Now which side would Hill’s Angels be on? They already have the chase music.
Even cannibals know they should eat their greens!
No no no. Y’all misunderstood. The cannibals were not chasing after the activist students; they were chasing away the activists before their extreme leftist ideas ruined the tribe.
In our next episode of Scooby Doo…
??? It sure couldn’t be for cannibalistic purposes. Considering the various protests we’ve witnessed, I’m hard pressed to imagine less appetizing fare.
Primitive, (allegedly), peoples chasing student activists, because;
A) the activists told the tribe that the activists are there to protect the rainforest from man.
B) the activists put out all of the tribe’s CO2 generating sources (cook fires, light, warmth).
C) the activists were not jungle potty trained and …
D) the activists insisted that the tribe only eat vegan.
E) the activists were not able to keep their campsite tidy.
F) the activists talked condescendingly to the tribal members.
G) the activists insisted they represented a consensus and the tribal members were mistaken.
H) everyone knows about activist halitosis and can forgive tribal members wanting more personal space
I) All of the above and more…
Which begs the question; why in any world would any urbanite activist believe that only their presence could save the rainforest?
What did they plan to do? Wave signs? Chain themselves to trees? Call lumber cutters bad names?
Are they sure it was cannibals chasing them? It could’ve been most of Brazil; and not to invite them to a feast.
