my review of "the day after tomorrow":
i've said it before and i'll say it again:
-i love disaster movies, particularly those that are excellent and those where the people forgot to caulk over the gaping holes in the plot.
-this movie was the equivalent of someone falling asleep during environmental studies 101, continuing to take notes during REM sleep, and turning those notes into a movie. aka: this movie was made by the dumbest liberal environmentalists ever. do they have a license to carry that philosophy?
-"i'll have to check my paleo-climate monitor!"
-"that process of supercooling, that we thought would take 50,000 years? it's taking 16 weeks -- no, make that 3 days!"
-and the best, delivered by the president -- "first of all, i should've listened to the guys who told me about the greenhouse effect. i'm very, very sorry. and now that the nation has been evacuated into mexico, i would like to thank the nation formerly regarded as the 'third world' for taking us in when we wouldn't ever let them into our country, back when it was above -150 degrees farenheit."
-i wouldn't call the special effects "good," as in "realistic," but they were the loveliest tornados devouring LA that i've ever seen. completely worth the stack of quarters i won in atlantic city and used to pay for it.
