Good morning everyone! A busy week-end for me since my boss' father died on Friday and the funeral was over the week-end. I didn't attend, rather, I took over for the day to keep things going on Saturday as we had four locations scheduled for tutoring and testing. The other director took his location and did two testings, my assistant took my locations where we had tutoring and four testings, one of my instructors took a third location to tutor four kids, I took the other school location (we are involved in tutoring in the NCLB program in these two schools)where we had 9 kids scheduled.
It was great feeling being able to help out these two wonderful bosses and to know my team of people are so capable. They make me look good.
Bit, I saw the movie you critiqued about the glaciers, The Day after Tomorrow, and I liked it! But I viewed it as pure entertainment in the fantasy sci-fi genre. WaterWorld was another good one in that genre.
My Aunt saw NCfOM and said it was bizarre with no seeming ending. I am glad to hear the CLooney movie wa good. Now, if I can only get MR HOB to go. He loaths George Clooney and will usually not go to one of his movies.
Yep,
Day After Tomorrow is pure sci-fi fantasy, but the dialogue was pure eco-nazi drivel. Supposedly, scientists trained in research methodology and hypothesis testing suddenly throw all that away when data doesn't 'look right' because 'the debate is over'! Plus the characters take turns using sarcastic mockery of each other when anyone says something even mildly outside the PC orbit...that and I thought Dennis Quaid sucks when he gets sanctimonious...;-))
Here's another movie that's not bad but the original was better:
Fun With Dick and Jane (2005), with Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni. The
original (1977) was waaay funnier,
despite the fact that Jane Fonda was in it...and the scene where Ed McMahon (as George Segal's boss) fires him from his aerospace engineering job is hilarious...anyway, the Carrey version is easier to find at Blockbuster's...;-))
