I wonder if something, maybe not even in the near future, could happen like it did in The Day After Tomorrow which I recently saw during a horrific snowstorm. Made me antsy. :p
The Day After Tomorrow had the most insultingly stupid physics of any movie I've ever seen, barring The Core.
Which, is also on the site as well.
What a great site. I'd forgotten about how funny these are. Thanks a bunch, Mith.
"It seems to be the inescapable fate of one who pursues the demanding life of a climatologist." LOL
My favorites:
"During its more scientific moments, the tornado scene teaches us important moral lessons. For example, never attempt acts of extramarital sex, take frivolous pictures, nor work as a news correspondent during big storms, unless you have a death wish."
-- Day After Tomorrow
"Not one to waste time, Keyes jumps straight to the bottom line: humanity is doomed and will end in a few months. The cause? Deadly microwave radiation will cook us since we'll no longer be shielded by the Earth's magnetic force field or what Keyes refers to as 'Earth's electro-magnetic energy field'. Keyes proceeds to demonstrate the effects of losing the magnetic field by lighting the aerosol from a can of hair spray and flaming a peach representing Earth."
-- The Core
"Construction of the subway-like ship, called Virgil, for traveling to the core involves the usual impossible feats of engineering. When asked for an estimate, the ship's inventor says it will take 12 years to complete. Instead it's done in only three months thanks to a generous infusion of government funds. Sure lots of money helps, but we suspect that accelerating the development of such radical technology would be like the old saying of trying to produce a baby in a single month by hiring nine pregnant women."
-- The Core
"The cast is rounded out by DJ Qualls who plays a stereotypical convicted computer hacker called Rat. He is brought on board for the critical task of preventing anyone on the Internet from precipitating a worldwide panic by posting theories about the impending disaster. Apparently, dead pacemaker patients, berserk window-smashing pigeons, bizarre space shuttle crash landings, monstrously powerful thunderstorms, the Golden Gate bridge collapse, unexpected nightly displays of the aurora borealis, and the total destruction of Rome, all in around three months, aren't enough to generate concern."
-- The Core
"The movie ends with Rat taking over a computer network so that it displays cutesy graphics and spams the world with news of the brave terranauts who have sacrificed greatly to save humanity from certain death. Why yes, we too believe everything in the unsolicited e-mail we receive. What Hollywood gives us in The Core is almost as convincing."
-- The Core
Genius. I just bought a t-shirt from them. =)
