Monet painting in Sweden this week, claiming they are ruining everyone’s days with the actions, even those who agree with them on the issue.Co-host Joy Behar ripped the recent climate stunt as “annoying,” while co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed, calling it “counterproductive” for climate activists.Whoopi Goldberg rebuked the protestors, declaring that vandalizing art is “not your job,” even if the earth is suffering. The points came up while the co-hosts were discussing “Eat, Pray, Love” author Elizabeth Gilbert postponing the publishing of her new book, “The Snow Forest,” due to Ukrainian critics slamming it for being set in Russia.Though the book has nothing to do with Ukraine’s current ordeal at the hands of its invaders and merely provided Russia as a setting for the work, Gilbert delayed the release indefinitely, citing the pain of the oppressed Ukrainian people.The ladies disagreed with Gilbert caving to critics and mounted a defense of not stifling art simply based on the politics of the day.They then applied that point to the recent string of climate activists attempting to vandalize great western art in galleries across Europe.Most recently, two female climate activists were arrested in Stockholm, Sweden for throwing a paint-like substance on the classic Claude Monet painting, “The Artist’s Garden At Giverny” at Sweden’s National Museum this week.The painting was covered with glass, but museum staff have reportedly been analyzing the piece to see if any damage occurred.The attempted act of vandalism is one of many similar climate change protests, aimed to shock bystanders into taking the threat of climate change more seriously.Though even the liberal ladies of “The View” insisted that these protests miss the

Richard Curtis I remember once watching an episode of “Game of Thrones” and thinking to myself: “My brother-in-law is right. My films are pathetic.” “Game of Thrones” have deadly dragons, I’ve got lukewarm cups of tea. They’ve got epic battles, I’ve got people being slightly off with each other. At the end of my films two people kiss – at the end of their episodes they cut each other’s heads off. So imagine my surprise and delight when I found myself on the phone to two of the stars of the show themselves: Kit Harington and Rose Leslie (who played Jon Snow and Ygritte). It wasn’t, alas, to talk them into appearing in “Notting Hill Apocalypse” or something juicy that would turn my career around. But on the other hand, it was about the gravest threat facing us all – not the Night King, but climate change.

Rotten Tomatoes, and TheWrap’s chief film critic Tomris Laffly called it a “Soderbergh-ian” film that “ignites an urgent sense of activism through a stellar ensemble cast and sophisticated direction.”Still, Webb and fellow Fox News contributor Joey Jones aren’t supporting its release. “What Hollywood’s doing overtly now is what they’ve done subtly for a really long time,” Jones, himself a former Marine Corps bomb technician, said. He added, “Hollywood’s trying to bankrupt itself, I guess.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Even among many who’ve grasped the scientific evidence, or experienced escalating weather extremes, climate change remains an abstraction for most — something too large and vague to trigger urgent emotional response. Not so the fictive activists in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” inspired by Andreas Malm’s nonfiction tome of the same name. Though diverse in background and motivations, the eight individuals here drawn together to attack an oil conduit in Texas share a sense that the planetary environmental crisis is immediate, and the time for gently chiding protests past.  Whether their actions constitute “eco-terrorism” and whether violence of any kind is ever justifiable in the service of progress are questions Daniel Goldhaber’s sophomore feature duly grapples with. Still, its degree of moral self-examination is unlikely to appease climate deniers, who’ll likely decry the film (if they notice it at all) as a recruitment poster for aspiring saboteurs. It’s more nuanced than that, but this strong, straightforward drama-cum-thriller about a divisive topic will nonetheless primarily appeal to viewers on the left side of the political dial.
