Ebert: THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW / ***

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 05/28/04 | Roger Ebert

[Monty22]

Odd how he claims to have no opinion, then also manages to blast Cheney and pine about Kyoto. Ebert's truly lost it.

[Poohbah]

He tried to do a puff-piece on a piece of crap. It didn't work.

[capt. norm]

As long as I can remember, Ebert has always been a liberal girly-man. He just got to where he is too fat to fit in that closet any longer.

[Monty22]

He never used to be so overtly political though. Since Siskel died and gore lost he's really been out there.

[GreyFriar]

My biggest question for Roger is: Are you doing, Atkins, South Beach, or Jenny Craig diet. He has lost weight, but has jowls heavier than Nixon's.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Roger was one of the most obnoxious Bush-haters during the 2000 election.

[Old Sarge]

Say rather, that it's a puff piece on a hit piece.

Besides, Harry Potter III premieres next week...

[Cincinatus]

Of the science in this movie I have no opinion.

Is there science in this movie?

[sgtbono2002]

I saved another $8.00 dollars I wont be wasting money on this one either.

[kidd]

Summary of Ebert's review: If you have an irrational hate of Dick Cheney, are gullible to fearmongering and don't let actual facts get in the way then...

... this is the movie for you!

[Dog Gone]

Not surprisingly, today's Houston Chronicle movie review gave it a B. Earlier, they gave The Passion of Christ an F.

You see, it's the message that counts.

[BADROTOFINGER]

The movie stars Dennis Quaid as the paleoclimatologist Jack Hall, whose computer models predict that global warming will lead to a new ice age.

Ummmm, wouldnt warming kind of, well, er....I mean, isnt an ice age, er, cold? Uhhh, hmmmm, well, I am no scientist, but, ah screw it...JFK

[Future Snake Eater]

Quaid and Gyllenhaal and the small band of New York survivors do what can be done with impossible dialogue in an unlikely situation.

Let's try that one again, shall we?

"Quaid and Gyllenhaal and the small band of New York survivors do what can be done with unlikely dialogue in an impossible situation."

There, that's much better. I guess no one should tell Ebert that the idiotic countries who have indoor plumbing and accepted the Kyoto Treaty are also completely failing the Kyoto emissions' standards.

[54-46 Was My Number]

Hmm. Even the liberal Boston Globe sh$t all over this movie in this morning's review. I guess fatboy must've gotten his signals crossed.

[Aeronaut]

I like the quote (sorry I forget who said it) "this movie is to global warming what Hogan's Heros was to life as a POW."

[bmwcyle]

[Semper Paratus]

He never used to be so overtly political though.

At the very least in never skewered his movie judgement until now.

[marktwain]

whose computer models predict that global warming will lead to a new ice age.

The environazi's who push this theory see no problem. After, all, computer models, if tweaked properly, can predict anything you want them to predict. And in this scenario, no one can ever prove them to be wrong. If the climate gets a little warmer, then it is the global warming. If it gets a little cooler, it is the beginning of the ice age. And, if it stays about the same, it is the transition.

So this particular scenario works very well for watermelon enviromentalists (red on the inside, green on the outside). It can never be proved wrong, allows for all the worst scary scenarios of both global warming and a coming ice age, calls for more and more funding from the federal government for "research" and immediate controls over all aspects of human existence to "prevent" the "disaster".

Perfect.

[Monty22]

Can they sneak in gun banning to the global warming agenda somehow?

[kylaka]

Can they sneak in gun banning to the global warming agenda somehow?

Of course. All those nasty hot sulfur gases escaping in uncontrolled explosions of the shells and all. We need catalytic converters on the end of all gun barrels immediately. Uh, no wait, those would also be known as silencers. Nevermind.
