711_Disciple Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 The other night, Davis Guggenheim (director of "An Inconvenient Truth") was on The Colbert Report to discuss his film on America's failing education system, "Waiting for Superman". The interview started with a brief clip of the film, half of which is synced up to Green Day's, what else, "American Idiot". I can only assume that the portion using the song is longer in the actual film. The interview is below. The actual clip is from the beginning to approximately 58 seconds, but the interview itself is really good and worth watching. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/361459/october-07-2010/davis-guggenheim

ParadoxAndPlaid Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I really hope they at least used it an a context that makes sense. So many people misinterpret that song, thus, misuse it.

For sure... did you see the thread about AI playing the background of a Glenn Beck radio ad? That completely disgusted me...
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 For sure... did you see the thread about AI playing the background of a Glenn Beck radio ad? That completely disgusted me... Yeah, awful. But it's been going on long before that.

bat-chen Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I really want to see the movie and the I think it will be cool if AI song will be there. anyway, I love when tv shows or films used Green Day songs.
