HOT OVER GLOBAL-WARMING FLICK ("Day After Tomorrrow" will sway eco-conscious voters)

So the liberals can't hit back with the facts they have put out fictional history books and spectacular movies.

[snooker]

"$125 million thriller

I will do what I can to see they don't get their money back.

Wait for the SciFi channel version.

[facedown]

"Millions of people will be coming out of theaters on Memorial Day weekend asking the question, 'Could this really happen?' "

And millions of them will conclude,

no.

It was just a movie.

[Pest]

I'm impressed how the liberals rally around movies and books like Wilson's, Woodward's, and Clark's. I think it's because they know they don't have a candidate to rally around.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

I think most voters are going to be more concerned about Independence Day, with the aliens being Islamo-Fascist terrorists.

[BB2]

Don't these people understand?

It's a MOVIE! FICTION, EXAGERATION, DRAMA!

But, then again, people who believe Al Gore REALLY won Florida, Monica was a "vast right wing conspiracy", and that Clinton was a great president, will believe anything you put in front of them.... as long as it fits in with their own view of the world and what they believe is truth.

I plan to watch and enjoy the movie myself, but then again, I know it's just that, a movie, entertainment, fiction. I've loved Sci-Fi all my life, but I'm not stupid enough to believe it's ALL possible.

Maybe Gore's next environmental rally can be co-ordinated with a re-opening of this film classic. It's sure to attract the Green voters.

the onset of a new Ice Age just three days after the polar ice caps melt because of smokestack and tailpipe gas emissions. [...] the ecological catastrophes depicted in the flick are nearly impossible to imagine happening in the near future

Or ever. Under no circumstances will the ice caps melt in a matter of days. If the leftist propagandists behind this twaddle were smart (which they're clearly not) they would have saved this for an "October surprise."

Yeah, and everyone went out to buy fava beans after watching The Silence of the Lambs.

[The kings dead]

It might be enjoyable as a disaster flick like "The Towering Inferno" or (more recently) "10.5," but as science fiction it's crap. The ice caps melting in days??

[wayoverontheright]

If there is anything which exhibits the dearth of reasoning power and the profound arrogance required to treat the premise of this fantasy as heedworthy, this is it.

And these people constantly accuse US as lacking in the gray matter department!

[Always Right]

The is one film I hope bombs worse than the Alamo.

[SevenDaysInMay]

Hollywood as the Vatican. Socialism seek equality with religion.

ALGore is a sick freak of his daddy's making.

Watermellon environmentalists use sci-fi fraud to sell social control.

Environmentalism is the international home for communist apparatchiks. As a student of zoology/public health during the frist days of "Earth Day", I read and knew students of Mao and Lenin who became self-annointed environmental experts (now tenured), despite the facts that many had earned disciplines only in psychology, sociology, history, and languages. "Environmentology" is the political discipline of agenda driven "instant experts" best defined in the Peter Principle, they have learned most of the top 50 words used in the sciences.

Utopia's beauty is in the eyes of those who think that they would be in control.

It's Hollywood, it's real enough for them.

When you live in a fantasyworld, movies are real (When they present your point of view only.)

If this movie were making a conservative political statement, the movie would be highly criticized for grossly misleading and unnecessarily scaring the public. Mel Gibson movies are constantly trashed for not being 100% based on facts. This movie ridiculously exaggerates reality worse than the phoney global warming computer models it is loosely based on. But the only people it will 'sway' are the ones who already think Bush is Hitler.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

This movie should receive the same treatment from conservatives and all moviegoers that "The Alamo" received. By the way, Dennis Quaid also starred in "The Alamo" which has lost millions.

[jpl]

I wouldn't go see this stupid movie if the producers paid me eight dollars.

Ai! How will this affect Martin Sheen's character in West Wing's upcoming re-election campaign?
