Sadly, he's right.
Steyn, he's the best.
Bump.
The only part of The Day After Tomorrow that I like hearing about is when the tornado rips through Hollywood.
Poifekt!
Let's see how long it takes Traitorwood to do a movie about Abu Greb.
Greatpiece. However, there's NO WAY int he world he was sober when he wrote this....he HAD tohave a little buzz on. So, the question is, WDSD?..what does Steyn drink..Lawdy, I hope it ain't Molson's or Labatt's..my money's on Jamieson's..
This is why soldiers come to rule in Later days.
They're the only figures the mob respects.
heres the title for the movie, Abu Ghraib , WHEN THE GOOD BAD GUYS BEAT THE BAD BAD GUYS.
BANG! He nailed it!
This is his best yet!
Thanks for the ping... passing it on.
Well, yes and no. There were some great songs out of World War II. Fantastic songs. The only problem is if we watch a current movie depicting that era, the only song that's played is "In the Mood". I like the song but you would think it was the only one that was ever composed from the years 1940-45.
This largely apolitical girl I've fallen for with a thunk that could be heard in the next country convinced me to see Day After Tomorrow with her. I didn't like the idea because I didn't like the film's politics, and I don't like seeing thousands of people die, even in a movie. But of course it was with Her, and so I did.
It was the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen. There were plot holes you could drive a truck through; of course going out was suicidal, and the temperature was dropping by "ten degrees a second", and yet people went out and survived anyway. Sheesh. If the temperature was dropping 10 degrees a second, everyone in the movie would have been dead within a minute! Argh!
It was rather interesting, though, that it was a feel-good movie that in the end played all the death and destruction for laughs. Weird. I don't get it. I suppose it makes it watchable - as I told Her at the end of the movie, "It wasn't nearly as harrowing as I would have thought". But my moral sense hated that. Geez.
Thoughts?

> with the exception of a few country songs
He's right about that. Thanks to Toby Keith, John. M. Montgomery, Daryll Warley, and a few others for the rare exceptions.
I guess the good thing about it is that the plot and science is so absurd that many environmentalists are worried that the movie's political message will backfire.
Toby Keith and Ted Nugent. Sad that it's so few, and there are no movies.....none. Hollywood has become a foreign country.
I've not seen the movie, and don't plan to see it. That said, I think this movie is one of those movies that is unintentionally funny. If you have ever seen Exorcist II: The Heretic, you'll know what I mean. It was made as an election-year movie, and has all of the earmarks of one. It speaks volumes that it was heavily touted in the media, before the premiere, and endorse by Algore.
I like this one among his many quotables.
