We're All Bloody Doomed, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, Save Yourselves, Wear Nylons and Silk Knickers! We're Screwed!
Hey folks, Harry here... Record Highs Scorch Los Angeles... I'm huddled under a blanket in Austin, Texas... Soon we're all doomed? So long as leadership vacations instead of leads... we'll need crazy wonderful destructive as hell German Filmmakers like Roland Emmerich to wake us up! I remember back when he had Aliens blowing up the White House, the conservative Talk Radio used it as a image for what needed to happen in this country... due to Clinton occupying it. Now that Emmerich has again decided to "Wipe Clean" man from the Earth... The party currently not occupying the White House is again using a Roland Emmerich Film to Rally the Faithful. And somewhere in the middle he made THE PATRIOT. Personally, I dig the hell out of Roland Emmerich movies... They're beautifully photographed pot-boiler sci-fi... not to be confused with SCIENCE FICTION, the more intellectual pursuit of Science and Fiction... His domain tends to favor the George Pal... blow the fuck up fashion. George used floods, lava, aliens and even time itself to destroy mankind. And I loved him for it. This seems to be continuing to proudly clearcut humanity in the same tradition!

too bad that Godzilla film was hit-and-miss(mostly miss). Someone needs to bring back those cool-as-all-hell choppers from his MOON 44 film.

al gore is having some conference with the environmentalists a few blocks away from the premiere of this movie on the same day, and is actually giving scientific merit to this sci-fi apocalypse film.

by blue_demon
Well...disaster movies pretty much suck, but I can't deny I love to sit and watch destruction. Maybe because I saw a bunch of Irwin Allen flicks as a little kid in the seventies. I'll be there. Popcorn in hand-brain in neutral. ( which is pretty much how I go through life anyway ) :)

Thankfully I see no Dean Devlin in the credits so I'm intrigued to see what Emmerich can do without his blockbuster pal. You never know, Jeffery Nachmanoff may actually create characters we give a damn about, as opposed to hollow characters inserted to progress the storyline.
Whilst the trailers show magnificent set pieces, tsunami's, ice rafts over skyscrapers etc, but c'mon Dennis Quaid?
-
What is the trick they use to undo the disaster? You know - what is the equivalent of the computer virus in ID4, or the nukes in Armageddon or Deep Impact - or the Core for that matter? I seriously doubt that Emmerich has made a movie that does not follow a standard disaster movie structure. So how does he have Quaid save the world? Because if there was a new Ice Age, by the time glaciers engulfed New York, there would be nothing you could do but wait for it to end for the next 20,000 to 40,000 years. So can someone please spoil this for me - is there some gay device used to "restart the North Atlantic convector" or some absurd crap like that? If so, how do they explain it?

I would do everything in my power to find Lindsey Lohan and fuck her in more ways than one. Ooooohh Mama! I went to Los Angeles on a business trip (which is even hotter than Cancun right now, UNBELIEVABLE!) and watched SNL. OH MY GOD! She's super fine. Yep, that's right kiddies...I would do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIND HER, GIVE HER THE BEEFY INJECTION AND SPRAY TEQUILA INDUCED CUMSHOTS ALL OVER HER. Damm I'm excited...CHEERS Amigos!

Good Question, FluffyUnbound: what cheesy gimmick do they use to
by thewoodman
This movie's (more-or-less) based on a book by Art Bell. Anyone out there tried listening to his show lately? GONE is all the fun, hair-raising stuff about Alien Abductions, Evil Ghosts, Looming Environmental Collapse, Shadow-Government Conspiracy, Monsters Going Through Your Trash Cans, etc. etc.; now it's all about fuckin' Angels and Miracle Tacos With Jesus' Face On 'Em and Creation "Science" and Miracle Babies and Angels and Miracles and Babies and How To Protect Your Miraculous Angelic Miracle Angel Babies From Demonic Possession... you get the idea. In other words, I'm betting that in those last five minutes, everyone will decide to become "Born Again in Christ" and will be "Caught Up in the Rapture(tm)". In other words, a big-budget version of that Tim LaHaye "Left Behind" horseshit. None for me, thanks.

Nuclear weapons are the answer to everything! Astroid headed towards Earth? Nuclear weapons! Alien invasion? Nuclear weapons! Serious problems with the earth's core? Massive earthquakes threatening to destroy the West Coast? You guessed it... Nuclear weapons!! Nukes are the answers to everything! I'm waiting for the romantic comedy where the rejected, love-smitten young man realizes in the last five minutes he can use nuclear weapons to solve all his problems--- and it works.

We all dig wave. Wave smash Statue of Liberty left-to-right in Deep Impact. Wave smash Statue of Liberty right-to-left in this one. Big Difference, yes? But cool. Because me dig wave. Me dig wave in "Perfect Storm" at end that flipped the boat. Me dig wave in "The Poseidon Adventure" that flipped the ship. (Wolfgang who made "The Perfect Storm" is now remaking "The Poseidon Adventure" cuz me dig BIGGER WAVE.) Me dig wave in "Blue Crush" that flipped pretty girl. Me dig wave in Hawaii in "When Time Ran Out" from Irwin Allen. Me dig wave in "Tidal Wave" with Lorne Greene. Me dig wave that smashed boat in "Guns of Navarone." Me dig wave in "Hurricane." Me dig wave anytime, anyplace, any movie. Big wave equals big box office. Look at the big wave hitting the Sydney Opera House, in this movie, too. Me Dig Wave. We all dig wave. Coming soon, from Wolfgang Emmerich: "The Big Wave." Plot: one big wave hits New York City and moves West, hitting Chicago Sears Tower, St. Louis Arch, Mount Rushmore, Golden Gate Bridge, and Seattle Space Needle. You'll dig wave, too.

The trailer says 10,000 years ago this happened. Ice Ages and weather shifts are natural, so the cause could be simply a pseudo-random natural occurence, not global warming. I guess it depends on what the movie itself says.

...The Comin g Global Superstorm by Whitley Strieber and Art Bell. TheWoodman, Art doesn't host Coast to Coast anymore...only on the weekends. The reason the show blows chunks nowadays is because of new host George "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about" sNoory and the suits of PremRat and Crap Channel.
-
All the cool stuff in the trailer (admittedly there were a few) you just know is in the first two reels, just like ID4, and the rest will be schmaltzy crap with cartoon characters getting all touchy feely while the entire world's been blown to hell around them. Pass.

http://armchagy.notlong.com ...You conservatives are being played for fools. Except the Pentagon. And the corporations who know full well that they are trading short term profit for long-term survival. And good old John McCain, he's got it right: http://erviadly.notlong.com ...It's only a few whackjobs who honestly deny Global Warming, just like there are a few whackjobs who deny cigarettes cause cancer, because some scientists were paid off to say so in the distant past. Or maybe they just want to hasten the end of the world so the celestial vacuum cleaner takes them to their eternal reward sooner. That puts current events into a context that makes a bit more sense. ...C'mon Republicans, get with it. Draft McCain. Bush is over.

some of you americans are so funny... like "liberal" is a bad word.
www.dictionary.com may prove useful to you.
interesting to note: the chimp and his gov't have a contingency plan, put in place during his reign of idiocy, for just this sort of thing.
i don't actually believe it will happen, but it's still kind of ironic that he keeps saying there's no such thing as global warming.
too funny :)

http://whyfiles.org/updates/080global_warm/ ...Bush just chooses to let his incurious constituents quote decades-old denials from scientists who were a pretty sketchy minority then. He admits to his well-educated and well-informed constituents that there's just too much money to be made maintaining the status quo to rock the boat for the sake of a liberal-infested mudball. They're all going to heaven or the best remaining real estate when the water rises. There's only something like sixty feet in the ice caps anyway. We're only talking about the lives and livelihood of all the billions of little people. No worries. Heck, we've got millions of homeless, unemployed, underemployed here. And billions starving globally. Sure it would be feasible to feed them all, financially we could do it. But no one in civil discourse seriously suggests it. So why should the American middle class expect or deserve better treatment? Especially when they happily endorse denials their leaders aren't even officially making? But you don't need to worry about it because you'll make a fortune via ETrade or maybe the lottery, right? ...Think about, and get your mind off visions of sweaty Iraqi manflesh.
-
I like how half the posters on this thread are so full of hatred for "liberalism" that they are unwilling to see a FICTIONAL CHEESY DISASTER MOVIE WHERE NEW YORK GETS TAKEN OUT BY A ***GLACIER*** because it's "too political" for them.
I guess only good, conservative earthquakes, ailen invasions, or asteroids work for them. Can someone tell me whether the demons in Hellboy were liberal or conservative? I can't enjoy the movie without knowing for sure, because I am a complete fuckwit.
Put me down on that bet that they solve it in the film with nukes, just like evry other crap disaster movie.

(...It's made by Roland Emmerich (total Bushbaby) the guy who basically created the fantasy of the Bush presidency held so dear: A little ditty called ID4. Very similar to 9/11. Except in the small details of the aliens and the world being united. Oh wait, the world was almost united after 9/11 in loving the US. And then Bush accomplished what: The world not so in love with the US.) ...I for one love the US, American movies, and I think "Day After Tommorrow" looks cool. In an unimaginitive, overpriced, Bushbaby sort of way. But not as cool as a movie made based on the book "Day After Tommorrow" about nanotechnological neo-nazis would be. That book was awesome science fiction because in it, nanotechnological neo-nazis went to bed with hot women, which could never happen in real life.
-
Why don't they ever use the tag line "From the Director of Godzilla" on any of Emmerich's films?
-
Liberals probably would blame Bush on a global warming or a disaster like this. Like his four years really make a difference either way. It wouldn't matter if Bush or Mr. Green Peace Earth was in office. These types of weather changes are called, "Nature." It would happen if humans roamed the Earth another million years..or if humans never existed.

How bout we take all the tree-huggin', enemy-appeasing, throw-all-the-weapons-away, living-off-government-hand-out LIBERALS to New York (or California for that matter) and let them all hug and sing Cumbaya in their environmentally safe Prius. Then Shelly Winters leads the same group of Iraqis that hung American bodies from a bridge for the world to see to that Prius in the hopes that they'll be able to reenact the carnage that LIBERALS creamed their pants over. Bush swoops down from the Heavens AGAIN to protect their ungrateful asses, and STILL gets voted out of office in favor "Hanoi" John Kerry. Figures...LIBERALS from Hollywood wrote the script. -end credits-

Bush = Backing Out of Kyoto and Clean Air Act = Global Warming
by captdanielroe
hoorayforeric, you ask: How is a disaster political? What difference does the president make? ...When he backs out of existing agreements and derails global initiatives that fight global warming, he causes it. The whole point is that its a manmade disaster. How is it you don't believe practically every scientist on the planet about that, or even the president in question? So you were underinformed or misinformed. It's amazing that a consensus of scientists and politicians will agree on something, but thanks to a cultural zombification, so many of the masses in the Red column are clueless..... Soit goes. We free-thinkers may lose, but they'll never win...They're betting on a dead horse.

Aww c'mon...admiti it... watching the cities get totally fucking destoyed by those huge CGI waves on the big screen is worth the price of admission alone.... The rest will be formulaic trype I'm sure but the main effects shots look like it could make an enjoyable "popcorn" movie. Lighten up, ye conservative kooks, watching a fun, eye-candy, special effects movie is NOT a vote for Kerry...sheesh.

by oldmanwillow
Forget about cheap slasher horror movies,this one looks really scary.Not surprising some dont even want to see the trailer,some people find it more comforting to stick their heads in the dirt.I agree the first trailer was better,it was just like watching the news...of tomorrow.shocking indeed.And no,it doesnt take an atomic explosion to make this happen.Just let the big companies continue to rape our mother earth and it will happen soon enough.Just keep voting for bush&halliburton&cronies,that axis of evil,and they will see to it.At least democrats pretend to care for ecology.Too bad they also need big bucks to get elected.Communism killed a lot of people,but Capitalism will kill our planet.While the youth of today spend their time discussing movies.

Hey, great. Another cracking second unit movie from Roland Emmerich. All praise be to the second unit teams of Hollywood for there work keeps many a directors career afloat. Lucas, Emmerich,Peterson.
Just think about it, how many of these movies do you remember for anything other than their set pieces? Some spectacular fx shots designed by an imaginative team of computer whizzes and amazing stunt work does not make Roland Emmerich a great film maker. Tying those things together in an engaging, character led film would but he has no clue how to do that.
Sorry folks but this will be a banal spectacle, as usual. -

Keep the film intimate, focus on a small group of colorful but flawed ordinary individuals trying to survive the aftermath of disaster. No super-scientists saving the day at the last minute, no "Airport" style unheeded warnings of doom, no silly-ass Bill Paxton presidential speeches (gag), no cute kids and dogs that pull old ladies out of rubble. Yuck!
-
Only if you're a wealthy oilman - or a DUMBF*CK!!! Bush has been QUOTED as saying "we won't do anything that will affect american jobs or our ecomony". So Bush-Halliburton Inc (formerly known as the U.S.A) can continue to pump out 25% TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of the world greenhouse emissions with a mere 5% of the worlds population. Admittedly it's the 5% with SUV's...but what do YOU care? Of course you don't care - it might devalue Mr Presidents stock portfolio.
Some americans impress me with your intelligence and open mindedness - then there are the republicans and their supporters.
Just see this movie - and if it makes you think (republicans you can ignore that bit about thinking for yourself - Papa Bush does that for you!) THEN GO READ ABOUT IT! -
Why is it so difficult to make you children understand that? Kerry's election would not make one single solitary whit of difference to the issue of global warming. Not an iota. It is offensive to hear you claim the "moral high ground" [if one concedes that is what it is] of saying that it would. If the theory of global warming is correct, it is already too late to avoid the warming trend. Haven't you read the science you claim supports your position? IT. IS. TOO. LATE. Even if Kerry were to be elected, even if he had the most anti-global warming one can see as even remotely politically possible for an American President of either party, it would not make any difference. He could not get the Kyoto Treaty approved by the Senate. No one could. A Sense of the Senate resolution passed 98-0 AGAINST the treaty, to warn Clinton to not embarass himself by submitting it for ratification. There aren't ten Senators in either party who would vote for the Kyoto Treaty. Claiming that one candidate is for it and one is against it is meaningless, because no matter who is elected President without rolling over 60 new pro-Kyoto Senators the treaty will never, ever, ever be ratified. And let's say it WAS ratified. Kerry accomplishes a miracle and gets it ratified. [He wouldn't even try, but let's say he did.] And then Kerry raises the fuel efficiency standards. And then he passes a tougher Clean Air Act. And then he increases the amount of funding for renewable energy sources tenfold. IT STILL WOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. All of those changes will mean absolutely nothing, when measured against the aggregate global increase in CO2 emissions, because of the anticipated increases in emissions by India and China in the next 20 years. NOTHING can stop that, nothing at all, and the Kyoto Treaty does not attempt to. Only forcibly holding the Indians and Chinese in poverty could do that, and they aren't going to let us. Would you? That, or a technological silver bullet that magically takes care of the problem - but even that probably could not replace the internal combustion economy worldwide in time to effect the outcome, even if the patent was filed today. It is time to face reality. If the theory of global warming is true, we had better start planning for how we will deal with the new climate situation. Alternatively, we could pray for SARS.

If this is Liberal Bullshit, then the Pentagon is full of Libera
by nazzim o'bazzim
....as in the report from the Pentagon's Strategic Thinker types about the effects of climate change and how we need to start thinking about future conflicts based on natural resources. ( Will the crowds be chanting "No Blood For Water"?) Climate Change is real, and the only scientists that say otherwise are the ones in the pocket of oil companies. They're the ones the Bush camp tends to turn to for quotes. This shit shouldn't be politicized, it's not "liberal" to take your head out of the sand and look around you.
-
Do you know how stupid you sound referring to millions of Americans as 'evil' and 'inbred' for daring to hold views that you don't agree with? It seems you share a trait that Bush is often accused of having; the inablitly to see things beyond black and white. As to Kyoto; as someone else pointed out the Senate overwhelmingly rejected it on principle during the Clinton administration. Even if Kerry wins, and the Dems retake the Senate (unlikely but not impossible), Kyoto would not be ratified. Even if the Dems were to gain 2/3 of the Senate, it still would not pass. So if the world's salvation is to come through Kyoto, you'd better hope for more than the defeat of Bush and his party this Nov.

WHERE ARE THE FUCKING SURFERS?!?!?!?

Global warming my ass. The Earth has a built in regulation system. This shit is all cyclical, and human intervention is lucky to raise the average temperature of the Earth a couple of degrees over the long run. This is more liberal enviro stupidity along the lines of the global cooling crap of the mid 70's. Well? Which is it? Global cooling or global warming? Can't be both. Next you'll have me believing that there's a boogeyman under the bed who'll eat my balls for not recycling plastic grocery bags. I'm not condoning pollution, or environmental rape by corporate lackeys, but let's face it, promoting junk science to serve your left-wing crusade isn't exactly kosher either.
-
We're not warming fast enough to stave off an Ice Age that is 10,000 years overdue. So go throw more CO2 in our atmosphere, cuz an ice age is a whole lot worse than the scenes in this movie..hasn't anyone heard of the Malenkovich Cycle?
-
I've read that theory. That if we all go green and stop driving SUVs and put filters on cowfarts, then the artificially upped temperature that's been staving off a new period of global cooling will cease to be. Then we'll all be wearing parkas.
