Someone's HO-scale train model just bit the dust...

There goes my stock in Tyco--looks like I picked the wrong day to quit smoking. . .oops, wrong disaster movie quote :)

[osagebowman]

OT: have considered the 'dead load' rating of your deck? Fountain, planting beds, corn, potatoes, flowers, catnip, misc. all adds up. :-)

[Fedora]

Hmm--according to a geologist being interviewed on the show, it turns out there's methane bubbles under the Bermuda Triangle--interesting. . .

I actually liked Earthquake, though watching it today and looking back at the 1970s dress styles kind of cracks me up; plus I can't watch that without thinking Charleton Heston just hopped over into that movie right after finishing Omega Man and it was filmed on the same set :)

Best disaster movie I've seen was Poseidon Adventure, I think.

And the President says, "By the time the left hands figures out what the right hand is doing, this will have blown up on all our faces!"

Script writer! Script writer! <no one responds> Script hack? Alan Smithee?? A third grader with an eraser??? Anybody????

Bo Duke's slutty "child"

Didn't they have one of them in Earthquake too? :)

Somebody's showin' that tonite. We ain't watchin' it tho.

There's got to be a morning after...

I can't watch any Irwin Allen disaster flick without remembering the satires of them done on SCTV, years ago.

"Inferno! Towwwwering inferno!"

[Fedora]

Hey, one of the dudes from West Wing is in there!

[Overtaxed]

Hehehe....don't plan on planting corn and potatoes. Just herbs, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and flowers....and hopefully a fountain. Anyway....it's got only one storey to fall!

[Rose in RoseBear]

Nah, the girl in Earthquake was a sweet single mom who was boinking Charlton Heston's character.

This girl, Bo's daughter, is slutty.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Bo's still drivin' cross-country, I see... wonder if the horn still plays "Dixie"?

[Rose in RoseBear]

<surgeon, after hearing that an earthquake just hit another city> Can you tell me what's going on here?

Errr ... the earth shook????

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Which one?

I've never watched the Left... uh, West Wing.

[Fedora]

My biggest complaint about Poseidon Adventure is they had Roddy McDowell in it but didn't let him live to the end--he would've been way more entertaining than Gene Hackman! I also remember that movie had the one balding Italian actor with the raspy voice who played a mobster in every other movie/TV show in the 70s but I could never remember his name. He was kind of like one of those actors who showed up on Love Boat and Fantasy Island and you know you've seen them somewhere but you can't remember where. . .

Okay, I just joined this adventure. Do ya'll believe that Explorer went through all that without a scratch? What'd I miss.... do ya think I'm too late to figger out the plot?

[SuziQ]

Sean Bean has nothing to do with my interest in the DVDs, nothing at all!

Yah sure, you betcha! ;o)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

You're not too late! The Big One hasn't happened yet... I figure we got another 45-60 minutes of buildup!

[Fedora]

LOL! I don't know if I ever saw that SCTV skit, but it seems like I saw a spoof of Towering Inferno somewhere.

How about Meteor?--they managed to squeeze all the washed-up actors of the decade into that one :)

[Wneighbor]

Ya, but I gotta figure out who's who. There was a bunch o different people flashing around for the coupla minutes I was watchin'! heh But, Bo goin' off-road was a cheesy riot!
