Note to Val Kilmer: avoid playing roles in global warming movies because they are doomed to fail. Kilmer acted in one global warming movie, "The Thaw," which was chronicled by your humble correspondent in both NewsBusters and in the Wall Street Journal which is scheduled to go straight to DVD in October without even a quick pit stop in movie theaters.
