DRUDGE quoting NY Times: New movie irks Bush administration

[wyldwolf]

Fed agencies employees not to comment publicly on FOX's new summer fuss-film THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, a $125 million disaster movie on "global warming."

The flick, which depicts how accumulating smokestack and tailpipe gases sets off an instant ice age, is set to open on May 28.

Few climate experts think such a prospect is likely, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Sunday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT, but the prospect that moviegoers will be alarmed enough to blame the Bush administration for inattention to climate change has stirred alarm at the space agency.

"No one from NASA is to do interviews or otherwise comment on anything having to do with" the film, said an April 1 message to employees.

Answer before someone asks: Because the Drudge story is timely and relevant.

1. In my entire life ive never seen such a thin skinned admin

Geeze what DOSENT make the Bush Admin mad? I'm sure Rove is making calls to Murdoch as we speak for cuts or a more of a Republican viewpoint to the movie. For a bunch of supposed tough guys the Bush Admin acts like a bunch of sensitive crybabies.

[Bandit]

21. Being crybabies is how they got to be where they are

Rush Limbaugh is the biggest crybaby I've ever heard but he attracts listeners with his bitching. Squeeky wheel gets the grease. All they ever do is complain, bitch and moan. It has gotten them undo attention and they have the majority in Congress because of all their bitching.

22. That's only because they have too much already to be guilty about,

not saying they 'feel' guilty, but they sure as hell don't want any of us asking anymore questions they have to lie about. They're busy enough at it as is.

:evilgrin:

[RafterMan]

2. Gee

I'd have thought Fox would get ideological clearence before spending the $125 mil.

Maybe they'll add a new ending that blames Clinton.

[Toucano]

4. I can see it now.

The earth is in ruins because of Clenis. :)

[Beam Me Up]

3. Do we know how the flick ends?

Didn't they put in the *BUSH*-ex-mechana saves the planet and all of humanity ending?

[TruthIsAll]

5. I saw the trailer last night. Devastating to the Bushco polluters.

If nothing else, this will bring the ultimate perils of global warming mainstream.

[Toucano]

6. "It's just a movie"

It wasn't made by Mel Gibson, so it can't influence society.

Besides, you know that Hollywood is full of democrat-commie-pinko-liberals don't you?

This is just their propoganda during an election year. LOL! :)

7. Here's the trailer...

13. This trailer is better!

[dmr]

24. Anybody catch this in that trailer?

The lead movie character calls out to a white haired, suited man in the halls of probably the White House and pleads: "Mr. Vice-President, if we don't act now, it may be too late!"

Mr. Vice-President? Not, Mr. President, as in most disaster flicks, but pleading to Mr. Vice-President!

rofl - I got a chuckle out of that one.

18. I haven't seen that one before.

That was awesome. I have been waiting for this movie since I heard about it.

[Cocoa]

8. from the director of Independence Day

my guess, this is just an attempt to create some controversy about another crappy special effects movie.

[bpilgrim]

10. the special effects look pretty good to me

i really don't care how the word gets out i just want it to get out and the more mainstream the better ;->

there is never a 'silver bullet'... only 'bulletS' and the more the better.

:hi:

peace

[Cocoa]

14. maybe the publicity would do some good

even if the movie sucks. If it led to global warming getting as much attention as Jesus got from the Jesus movie, that would be a good thing.

[PfcHammer]

17. i believe art bell & whitley streiber came up with the story

[frylock]

20. the coming global superstorm..

is that what you're talking about?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

9. "Few climate experts think such a prospect is likely..."??....

11. well noone thinks it will happen 'overnight' film only got a few hours ;-)

peace

[bluedog]

12. If they reallt want to freak out

wish the networkd would show"The Day After" War is declared, and full scale nuclear missles bring hell to our lives........this movie is very rare and my daughter had to pay over $50.00 to get it from a private seller.......I presume the UZnited States does not want people to see this...

[SoCalDem]

19. Have you let her watch "Testament"??

It was a very good movie, and probably a realistic interpretation of how it would be..

[goforit]

15. Some how their are too many voices the bushistas have to shut up!

ROFLMAO!!!!

It certainly keeps them busy!!!

[goforit]

16. What Faux News did for Al Franken's book, Bush will do for this movie!

[leesa]

23. If they are that afraid to talk about it, it must be more true than

we even thought it was. ORDERED not to talk about it? Why not?

[Athame]

26. Don't our taxes pay for NASA?

How is it that shrub* can order a national agency not to answer questions about the premise of a movie? (It's a rhetorical question)

One of the links above has the NASA position on global warming already. Important stuff for real scientists, policy makers, even, gasp! corporations. Are they going to pull the big blue curtain over any parts of the body politic that seem offensive to themselves and their dastardly plans for world dominance/destruction?

We need to be screaming to high heaven about this, even if the movie is schlock. At the very least, it will bring the ridiculous secrecy of this criminal administration to light.

25. It's too bad fox is getting the money. It will probably be a hit.

Murdock never let's anything get in the way of making money.

27. Pentagon Prepares for Global War Caused by Ice Age

<snip>
Global warming may be bad news for future generations, but let's face it, most of us spend as little time worrying about it as we did about al Qaeda before 9/11. Like the terrorists, though, the seemingly remote climate risk may hit home sooner and harder than we ever imagined. In fact, the prospect has become so real that the Pentagon's strategic planners are grappling with it.

The threat that has riveted their attention is this: Global warming, rather than causing gradual, centuries-spanning change, may be pushing the climate to a tipping point. Growing evidence suggests the ocean-atmosphere system that controls the world's climate can lurch from one state to another in less than a decade—like a canoe that's gradually tilted until suddenly it flips over. Scientists don't know how close the system is to a critical threshold. But abrupt climate change may well occur in the not-too-distant future. If it does, the need to rapidly adapt may overwhelm many societies—thereby upsetting the geopolitical balance of power.

28. Just goes to show how paranoid these freaks are!

[leetrisck]

29. I'm amazed at how much times these people

have to worry about movies - I know bush is lazy and unproductive, but maybe this is what he does - previews movies and tries to shut them down
