Video: Trailer for Bjorn Lomborg’s Cool It Documentary

Bjorn Lomborg, author of the book The Skeptical Environmentalist, is not a nut-job global warming denier. He just thinks the debate around the topic has become over-heated and alarmist and says the solutions to address the problem are a lot less expensive and cumbersome than those currently being discussed. As you can imagine, Lomborg is a controversial figure in climate change and environmental circles. The film, Cool It (trailer above) examines this controversy. Hit the jump to also watch his 2007 TED presentation on what ‘Our priorities for saving the world’ should be.

I actually kind of hate 3-D movies but I also hate to leave an opportunity some of The Kitchen‘s readers might dig on the table:

Trailer for the Canadian Indie Movie Let Him Be

In honor the 30th anniversary of the death of Beatles icon, John Lennon earlier this week (Dec. 8), here’s the trailer for this quirky, little indie movie Let Him Be which posits the question, what if Lennon actually survived or even staged the assassination attempt on his life by Mark David Chapman back in 1980?

“Two film students discover something uncanny on a tape found inside an old video camera bought at a garage sale in Northern Ontario. It contains a brief clip of an old man who bears more than a passing resemblance to an older John Lennon. Is Lennon alive and living? The two become fixated. Could it be him? It’s an absurd idea that they might have passed off if it were not for the fact that the man also sounds so much like Lennon. Did he stage his own death to live a life of anonymity in his second-favourite nation, Canada? The filmmakers decide to uncover the truth. With hidden body cameras, wireless cameras and surveillance cameras, the viewer gets to experience first-hand the possibility that history deceived us. Illusion and reality tangle and swirl on this remarkable journey of discovery.”

Official Trailer for the A Tribe Called Quest Documentary, Beats Rhymes and Fights?

It’s unclear whether this trailer from the Michael Rapaport-directed documentary, Beats, Rhymes and Fights about the legendary 90’s hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest is officially-sanctioned either by the director or Q-tip from the group, but it leaked earlier this week. In honor of that, let me post this track, “Fake ID” by Tip and Cons (half of the latter-day version of Tribe) along with long-time Tribe affiliates, Large Professor and Havoc of Mobb Deep which also leaked this week. I could google it of course but save me the bother, does anyone know the origins of this track??
