Disaster films are so over.
After reading the new xkcd strip I went to add Twister to my amazon basket.
This film was one of my favorites when I was around 11 or 12 and I watched it every time I had a sleepover. It makes complete sense that I watched it as a child, it came out in 1996.
Why is it that it comes as a shock that Twister came out 12 years ago?!
Then looking through the 'suggested' films I noticed that there where a LOT of disaster movies out when I was becoming a teen. This may explain a lot. I mean Armageddon came out 10 years ago. 10 YEARS!!! The same time as that crappy yet brilliant Godzilla movie. And independence day? A pivotal film for me.
However, even though I may not know my times tables, if ever we are attacked by aliens, about to be obliterated by a comet/meteorite or are being chased by dinosaurs/tornadoes/lava (or some mixture of the three) I'm your gal!
