It gets its release in the US next week.

I haven’t read the book, but from what I’ve gathered it’s a political nonfiction book. I don’t see how you can adapt that into a movie, unless it has a biographical portion I’m not aware of. Wikipedia says it’s a heist film, anyway.

What would the movie even be about? A positive portrayal of eco-terrorists? I’d love to see it, but surely they couldn’t get away with making a movie like that.

    I just sat through a lecture on pipelines and energy infrastructure, it gave me anxiety. My takeaway was that the only realistic solution to combatting the ecological devistation caused by capitalism and climate change is to blow up all oil and gas infrastructure.

        That’s a very good idea, comrade. :fedposting: We should meet to discuss the financing of such a film. If you could send me your address as well as those of any other movie producers you know, my people will be in touch.

        Seriously though, climate-adjacent stuff always makes me anxious. It’s such an enormous problem and we have no meaningful tools to combat it. What’s the answer? Spend decades rebuilding the labor power in the west? Hope that AES countries can do something in time (assuming that there is still time)? Do what the techbros do and pretend that the market will save us? Blow up a pipeline?

        I guess I should probably read the book.
