The Monotony of Monogamy

 
Hey, look on the bright side, maybe this 15 point loss will inspire those Pistons to play like we know they can!


The Day After Tomorrow (Sunday)



The Plot - Same old, same old. Guy wants girl. Dad spends little time with guy. Guy and girl get trapped in a storm that recreates an ice age. Dad treks hundreds of miles to rescue guy and girl + others, including guy' competetion for girl, who had his leg bitten by a wolf. You know, the usual.

The Cast - Decent, at best. No super stars in this one, although Dennis Quaid did remind me of Harisson Ford. And Bubble-Boy returns to be his son. The acting was sub-par, but thats really all you can expect from a mediocre cast.

The Digital Effects - Very well done. All the storms, all the waves, the wolves, looked eriely real. If a new ice age does come, I'm sure it will look rather similar to this film.

The "Hidden" Agendas - Such a liberal movie. So so so so liberal.
#1. The main message of this propaganda film: we should stop using our natural resources and poluting, it will cause another ice age. Newsflash: If they weren't meant to be used, they wouldn't be called resources. They would be called natural things, like grass or snow. Are they part of nature? Yes. Are they being exploited and are people bitching about it? No. I just cut my lawn today, that's a whole lot of grass that's now dead and useless. If we were using grass as a source of feul, even just the clipings, would people be bitching about it? You bet your ass. You cannot please everyone all the time, you can only please some of the people some of the time.

#2. Blatant stab at the Bush-Cheney administration. The VP looks just like good ole' Dick and the Prez is a younger (and I use the term losely) man who is aparently incappable of making decisions without consulting the VP. And low and behold, the VP was wrong about point #1 and the northern hemisphere is now an ice sheet.

#3. After the storm, when everything is settled, when the force that caused the storm is balanced, what does Space Man #1 say? "I've never seen the air so clear." Thus meaning no polution, thus refering back to point #1, thus implying that America on its current path will be the cause of a new ice age.


Overall: I give this movie a Democratic Convention without any Clintons. It not as good as it could be, but on the other hand, it could be worse, much much worse.
