The Day After Tomorrow: A Review

I have been wanting to see this film for ages. It is the most amazing film in the entire universe ever. Basically, Americans get killed by the Earth itself. Join their struggle as they fight back to win...

Everyone gets terribly upset about the loss of Western Civilisation, even though the Middle East and Australia seem to be fine

There should be a sequel where the Australian Empire rules the world with an iron fist.

You just reminded me of The Peshawar Lancers, where asteroids struck the earth in the 19th century and the British Empire evacuated to India and the French to Africa while the people stuck in Europe had to become cannibals and America went all savage. I can't remember what Australia was doing, though it was probably kept on in the Empire.

Damn you, you have made me break my resolution of not 15 minutes ago to not buy more stuff off Amazon.

SM Stirling has written some interesting stuff. Dies the Fire (whose sequel I haven't read yet) came across as heavy SCAdian fantasizing about "the day when civilization collapses and my geeky hobby suddenly makes me a valued member of society," Conquistador was pretty interesting, and I can't recommend Island in the Sea of Time, Against the Tide of Years, or On the Oceans of Eternity enough.

Rewarding our poet laureate with cows.

There are worse things to reward a poet with. I mean, what does one really do with leafy headgear?

(Dang, now it's bugging me. I know it said what was happening in Australia, I just can't remember because none of the action was going on there.)

I support this idea.

Though I wonder what living under Australian rule would be like worldwide.
