sigourney weaver's acid test

This is fun to watch. Sigourney Weaver narrated a short documentary, Acid Test, about the growing acidification, and ultimate destruction, of our oceans. It is a chilling, if somewhat pedestrian, film. In any case, an important message. You can watch it here.

Here she is, however, on Fox and Friends last week, some American tv show. The two hosts, bolt upright and panting like puppies, try to get her to talk about Avatar, the new James Cameron film coming out in a couple of months. She plays a small role and they contextualize her presence on the show by referencing her role in the Alien series. But she wants to talk about Acid Test. And so she does. The male host is clearly vexed, while the woman is eventually gracious and asks a few questions about the film. It's just too much for the boy dog: "If you're watching at home ... clean up your plankton!"

I saw Ghostbuster's for the first time only a couple of years ago. Couldn't believe how lame it was. Why, are YOU the gatekeeper?
