What a crock of bullsh*t.

This is so ridiculus, its not funny but sad. It would take a rise in temperature so high, to melt the polar caps so as to talk about "DAYS after", that all life would perish from the intense heat before the ice would melt.

There is no science here...nor is there even good speculation. This is political propaganda at best. Pure, unadulterated bullsh*t!!!!!

LMAO!

Anyone watches this and votes for Kerry deserves him.

How come Art Bell isn't getting credit for this movie? After all it's about his book the Quickening

Ping!

Those wacky Gyllenhaals. If there is a left-wing cause/propoganda piece, you will find their name attached somewhere. One or both of them is at every abortion-related gathering.

Anyone who has read the Kyoto Treaty should understand that Global Warming Theory is nothing more that a marginally plausible excuse for leftist wealth redistribution.

You are so wrong! All it would take is a giant Laser built by Doctor Evil! Duh!

You mean sharks with freakin' laser beams on the top of their heads.

INTREP - No Shame Junkscience ALERT - demoRATs behind this!

I saw Maggie on "Dinner for Five" not too long ago. Very cute. Not too bright. She seemed like a perfect candidate to carry the Left's water. She probably believes every word she's told by her lefty producers, writers, directors, camera people, fellow actors, et al.

I got the distinct impression that if her views were challenged, she would respond with what someone else told her and, having exhausted that resource, would not have a clue what to say next.

I believe book, song and movie titles are not copyright-able. Thus you have Heartbreaker by the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, two completely different songs with the same title coming out within a few years of each other, and two films called A Night to Remember, one about the sinking of the Titanic and the other not. I'm sure there are other examples, but those two come to mind off the top of my head.

I think its to cold there for sharks how about some genetically altered penguins with the ability to heat the ice with a laser beam from their arse!

[CharlieOK1]

I think I must be way out of the loop on popular culture. I couldn't name one show either of the two siblings has been in. I just know their names because he dated Kristen Dunst, and they are on every abortion-related honor roll. How did they get famous?

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.

Two leftist propaganda films in a row? Uh-oh!

I believe this movie is based upon a book that was written a few years ago by Art Bell & Whitley Strieber called "The Coming Global Susperstorm". It was based on junk science and the authors vivid imagination. Below is a review from Amazon.com:

Could Melting Ice Break A Delicate Chain?, January 3, 2000
Reviewer: Stephen A. Martin from Fort Madison, Iowa
Now that Y2K has come and gone, there's nothing to worry about -- right? Wrong, say radio talkshow host Art Bell and Whitley Strieber, author of alien-encounter bestsellers "Communion" and "Confirmation." Unless you have an unlimited supply of food and fuel and don't mind the prospect of shoveling 50 feet of snow from your driveway, you'll want to read "The Coming Global Superstorm." In it, the two argue the current global warming could actually trigger a new ice age by melting the polar ice caps and changing the course of warm ocean currents that control weather from Seattle to Stockholm. The pair intersperse their non-fiction account of what is happening with an engrossing fictional tale told through the eyes of a National Weather Service employee. He quietly moves his family to Texas while Europe and the northern United States are pretty much plunged into weather-related anarchy -- that is, the parts that survive. As a literary work, this isn't exactly Shakespeare. But it isn't intended to be. Citing everything to mainstream press accounts to scientific journals throughout their narrative, the two authors dare doubters to go to their sources and see the raw data for themselves. As a news reporter for a Midwestern daily, I have double-checked many of their sources for an upcoming article -- and I am frightened. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

don't you dare do this to me!!!! ; )

[Skooz]

How did they get famous?

I had never heard of either of them before I saw Maggie Gyllenhaal on the show "Dinner For Five" which is on the IFC channel. From time to time I'll watch about 5 minutes of it, if someone interesting is on.

She was in a movie called "Secretary," and the only way I know that is because they were talking about it on the show. I found out she has a brother from someone's unrelated post here on FR.

That is actually the extent of my Gyllenhaal family knowledge.

[presidio9]

Maggie is not my type, but the film also has Emmy Rossum, late of "The Vagina Monologues."

[presidio9]

Don't shoot the messenger. You still have Mel Gibson and Tom Selleck, among others.

[xsmommy]

mel, yes. tom, no.

[Badeye]

I'll just point out the last time the leftwingnuts attempted something like this it was a movie called The Day After, about a nuclear war.

Anybody care to guess which party won the Whitehouse after that one?
