Shrek II beat the environmental movie at the box office. I thought this was a positive indication of where parents are putting their money.
Funny, I hadn't noticed that around here. I guess we were too busy laughing at it to have been nervous.
My favorite part of the movie is where Quaid's character chastises the Vice President for not doing something sooner. The something being evacuating the entire northern hemisphere.
We're not nervous at all about this. But some of us rightly believe that Conservatives should not be supporting the producers and distributors of Leftist propaganda (no matter how inane it might be).
De-fund the Left!
The Right might be "nervous," but the Left is positively LOOPY for believing this tripe.
Sort of like the democRATs blaming Bush for not taking action years before 9/11.
Well, I must say there's a lot of type-casting. In my experience rich liberals are just as apt to drive SUVs as conservatives, and I never thought of button-down shirts as reliable political markers either.
What gets me, however, is the assumption, even by a reporter for the conservative Daily Oklahoman, that conservatives are some sort of "alien" they, whom we liberal reporters can laugh at. I don't think so.
Zackly. My second most favorite part of the movie is when Quaid's character sets out to rescue his son and he does so by packing all his gear into a great big truck instead of that solar-powered piece of crap he crams himself into when he takes his son to the airport.
There has been something of a movement to turn the motion picture "The Day after Tomorrow" into a version of "Thr Rocky Horror Micture Show", in which the audience, knowing how really awful the movie was, would shout at the screen, in unison, as certain scenes were coming up, either the actors would not do what they were about to do, or a warning "Watch out!" as something highly disasterous was about to happen on the screen. And of course, the plot continued just as it always had, grinding on to its inevitable conclusion. Somehow, nobody could develop much sympathy with the characters (which were only cartoons anyway), and the movie would be viewed again and again, to be discussed endlessly for its technical glitches and really bad dialogue.
What is the term? Kitchy? Camp? An object of ridicule and scorn every time it appears on screen. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" went on for years and years. It still plays for a certain segment of the public from time to time.
If the propaganda hurts them and helps us, I'm all for it!
The Bush 1988 campaign ran the video of Dukakis in the tank.
So which is the greener movie, Day After Tomorrow, or Shrek? ;-)
Shrek is more Green.... but more conservative.....
Sometimes even I believe all DemoMarxistSocialistLyingLibs...drive Yugos, wear Birkenstocks, eat tofu, and listen to Babs, and Neil Diamond. (vbg) Maybe that explains his comments??? I dunno......
FRegards,
Error - error - error! The last ice age began about 70,000 years ago, was at its maximum about 18,000 years ago, and ended about 10,000 years ago. At its maximum extent about 97% of Canada was covered in ice. The ice was at its thickest (estimated) over the Hudson Bay and was almost 11,000 feet thick.
It's somewhat warmer now than it was then, but nothing to do with SUVs that's for sure...
Of course, the dinosaurs died a little earlier - about 65,000,000 years ago. The big ones who couldn't hide were probably broiled to death due to overheating of the global atmosphere due to the energy transfer from the impact in the Yucatan. The carnivores who survived the first few hours to days after the impact mostly starved to death after all the dead dinosaur bodies were eaten. The herbivores mostly died after the following "asteroidal-impact winter" caused global "crop failure." No land animal larger than 50 lbs. is known to have survived, and most that did were were much smaller.
Makes SUVs seem a little less threatening, doesn't it...
IMHO, of course...

Fwiw-
I've heard it was one of the best comedies of the season.
I thought the same thing. When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be another thread about Michael Moore.
I hang out on a local message board infested with liberals. Movies get a thread topic every weekend. I saw this flick at sneak preview the day before it opened and wrote a review and posted it on the message board telling everyone there to save their money and skip it.
No one has replied back that they've seen it. Mission Accomplished.
