That's for sure! Some of the scenes I found particularly laughable:
1. As the tornadoes hit L.A., a guy in a news helicopter commenting on it states: "There are people just standing down there, taking pictures!" That's right buddy, taking pictures... just like you are in your news helicopter.
2. Ian Holm as the British scientist, talking to Dennis Quaid on the phone: "We have mountains of data to go through!" I leaned over to Rose and whispered, "Mountains, Gandalf!"
3. When the librarian is diagnosing the sick girl by using a medical text, and says, "You can do more things with books than just burn them!" You know, as if they wanted to burn the books, and weren't just doing it to survive.
4. Oh, and speaking of burning the books... After they've been burning books apparently for days, one of the teen heroes breaks up a chair to use the woven chairback as a snow shoe. Good thing they burned all those books and saved the wooden furniture for snow shoes!
You know, I could go on and on...
And I'm glad to know that the contents of one vending machine can feed six or seven people for over a week!
I'm so glad we made a matinee. It's a fine five dollar movie, but full price would have been a rip off.
