And before some right wing nut says something idiotic, I will say, yes I do that at best this movie is an exaggeration ,at worst pure popcorn end of the world entertainment. Still you can't help but laugh when the vice president in the movie looks exactly like Dick Cheney.
I haven't seen the movie, but when loons like the Algore 5000 blow a fuse due to Global Warming (or is it Global Cooling, this week, or is it back to Global Warming?) it has to be a funny movie. The movie is based (I'm assuming, loosely) on a book called "The Coming Global Superstorm" written by Art Bell (one of my favorite odd topic radio hosts) and Whitley Strieber (he thinks he was abducted by aliens, and they are talking thru him, he has lots of books like "Communion" which talk about it.)[/i]
As with the President Bush and Cheney jab, it's a movie that knows it's fiction, unlike Michael Moore's stuff. If Michael Moore would admit that his movies are purely fiction, I wouldn't be so angry at him. His books are entertaining because I know they're fiction (I've read Downsize This, and Stupid White Men). His movies, and two former tv shows think they're real, which they aren't.
I hope the Day After Tomorrow makes alot of money, I like Art Bell's show, and it will also give people like me more opportunities to watch eco hippies in ?ction, complain about "fossil fuels" as they drive in a beat up gas guzzling pollution spewing Volkswagon Van, while I, the "evil conservative" drives in a four cylinder gas sipping big ole red Buick. Anyone notice the irony here?
