2 days to go... 250 trees planted in Zimbabwe

Which technically means that the premiere is TOMORROW. But I'm going for "2 days to go..." on the subject header to fool Team Stupid Global Premiere (15 of us in the office right now) that we have more time. 

- Hankies at the ready...  Zimbabwe sold all 250 tickets to their premiere and as the ticket price included the cost of planting a tree, 250 saplings are going in next week. They're thinking of calling it the Not Stupid Forest. 

- The Chair of the IPCC, Dr Pachauri, and NASA's James Hansen have confirmed to speak in the solar tent. 

- Glenn Beck is being very rude about our film, but we don't believe he even watched it as surely he would have noted that he is in it.  (Funny Facebook response: Beck didn't like this new film, therefore, it must be GREAT. I'm going.) So we made Glenn a little cheeky video, challenging him to come down to the NY premiere and watch the damn thing. We also made a video for Jon Stewart, wondering why he didn't want us on his show. This felt like a good idea after I'd done 14 back-to-back TV interviews all round America, all from one chair in New York: the studio guys helpfully hold up cards so you continue to get the "Hello Seattle" or "Good morning Wichita" or "Hello Atlanta" right long after you have lost all track of space or time. It was in this state that the videos seemed like a good idea. 

- Oh no, not another film about climate change - my second blog for the Huffington Post made it passed the selectors. 

- Screenings are now confirmed in Palestine and Israel...  please, no more emails....  we're trying to fix climate change.... 

- Think we just got our best ever review in the San Francisco Bay Guardian: "The film's opening sequence begins with the big bang and hurtles via countdown clock through billions of years, flying past the earliest stages of evolution, past dinosaurs, past the industrial revolution, and past the present day, the titular Age of Stupid, so fast that we barely have time to notice ourselves on the screen before it's 2055, the Age of Too Late. The message: in the grand scheme of things, we have about a nanosecond left...."

- Or maybe this one's even better, in Wired: "the urge to do something immediate is palpable and powerful"

- Cute school story 1: "My parents are high school teachers outside of Chicago and are taking a bunch of science students (including the environmental club) to the movie. But then today they announced it to the whole school."
