To be fair to Maher, the site did ban the person posting the racist comments. Maher is adamant about free speech though so they left the post up. This is also explained by one of Maher's people (I assume) in comments.

The China Syndrome II: Climate Change
Fonda, Douglas and Lemmon commandeer the controls of a national television network and demand that more nuclear plants and electric vehicles should be used worldwide. After they post bail, they testify before Congress and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission demanding the same. The film is a worldwide phenomenon and convinces the public that nuclear power and electric vehicles are the solutions for global climate change. Okay. We're dreaming. But we can hope.

Hustle & Flow: High Tide
In the two scenes where Terrance 'DJay' Howard is by the Mississippi River, the tide is going out. Nice imagery for the struggle of the characters to get out of their hopeless circumstances. This movie has the biggest heart of the summer. It will break your heart, make you cry and lift you up. You wouldn't think so because it is a movie about a pimp and his prostitutes.
The tag line for the movie, "Everybody Has A Dream," is the heart of the movie. It is the pursuit of the dream that makes this movie's heart beat and makes you love the characters. The other hook in the movie will stay with you: "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp..."

The Island: Pollution Lie
Everyone wears white, everything is regimented, the people are supposedly the survivors of an environmental catastrophe and they are quarantined until chosen by lottery to go to the island, the last uncontaminated place on Earth. Of course, there was no catastrophe, there is no island and they are the unknowing clones of rich people - - to be used for body parts at some future date. Of course, the evil side of cloning and embryonic stem cell markets will clearly lead to this sort of abuse.

Erin Brockovich- Chromium $6
It is reported that Erin Brockovich pocketed $2 million. Julia Roberts, left, was paid $20 million for the film. PG&E settled for $300 million. The movie grossed almost $100 million.
Brockovich stumbles upon medical records in a real estate file concerning one of her employer/attorney's clients, which piques her interest. Her interest grows as she learns more about Hinkley, California and its residents. It seems that a statistically disproportionate number of the residents were ill with rare diseases. Environmental justice advocates would have loved a movie that depicted pollution in minority communities. Of course, who would play Julia Roberts Erin Brockovich? Halle Berry? Would such a film be successful?
The Day After Tomorrow
A definitive environmental film (overlooking some of the obvious scientific leaps), this science fiction epic ($500 million) captures the essence of climate change possibilities. Although warming is the scientific consensus, cooling could be just as catastrophic. Regardless, climate change due to human contributions of emissions to the atmosphere should be taken seriously. We cannot dump unlimited quantities of gases into the 100 mile atmosphere without consequence. Mankind and womankind are global managers. Since leaving the garden, we are responsible for controlling human and natural conditions in our atmosphere. Our oceans are also a big part of this equation.
The movie has the geeky black nerd, the genius son and the love interests. Another climatologist brother is in an interracial marriage, but he dies. Now the scientist might debate climate science in this movie, but the father walking from Philly to New York in a snow storm is Hollywood at its best.

Batman's Gas Guzzler
Although the new batmobile has an interesting new look, it is a gas guzzler that probably gets 5 miles to the gallon. And what's with the flame coming out of the back? What a waste. That waste heat could be used. Would an internal combustion engine spit flames anyway? But then again, maybe Bruce Wayne would drive a Prius, but Batman is an SUV kind of guy. Do you favor Bruce Wayne in a Prius or Batman in an earthmover hummer?
