"The Day After Tomorrow" shows what's wrong with the RNC agenda

[genius]

The VP in the movie is like a more altruistic version of Cheney. That's not to say he's a good guy but very few people are as bad as Cheney when it comes to environmental sadism. The VP feels that the Kyoto Protocal is disasterous for economics and has the typical Republican attitude that economics are more important than the environment. Of course, rather than making the audiences sit 20 years in a theater, the film makers sped things up.

Overall, it's a really fun movie - almost as much fun as ID4. The destruction of Los Angeles had the audience rolling with laughter in the eisles. I saw it in a theater in Southern California and the ideas of tornados in L.A. is the last thing anyone living there would expect outside of an environmental disaster movie. One of the best scenes was where Mexico closed it's borders to U.S. immigrants. That got an applause.

It's a good movie for kids and the ending is good. It stars Dennis Quaid. The U.S. government gets what is called poetic justice.

1. As a freshman geology major at Cal State Fullerton

I saw a map hung on a department wall depicting storm activity in the state over the previous 50 years. According to that map, there had been at least 30 tornadoes in California during that period.

I personally saw the beginnings of a funnel over Orange County, and watched as a rather large "dust devil" (as my dad called it) destroyed a trailer park. (The tornado's natural habitat.)

California may not get the big killer Kansas tornadoes, but it does get a few small storms on occasion.

2. did you notice how it depicted Fox News?

made all of the fox reporters look pretty stupid, imho...not that it's generally the case to begin with anyhow.....

3. What I noticed was images of FEMA

prominently in control of Americans in what amounted to concentration camps.

Edited to add: One could draw the conclusion that, one way or another, THAT would be the ultimate consequence of the Right wing agenda. The question is, Right wing or Left, is it already too late?

4. Even though the U.S. was a guest in Mexico,

I suspect that after the end, they would find an excuse to take over Mexico or some other country.

5. I find it odd that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. produced this.

I wasn't surprised to see Fox News on every television that was shown in the first half of the movie. Nor was I surprised that their newspeople looked stupid.

6. I bet it's raking in a lot of money.

The theater was filled last night (a Sunday night) and the show before had sold out before I got tickets for that show.
