Catagory 4--Movies that are so bad that they are fascinating in the same sense that a bad car wreck is fascinating.

The Day After Tomorrow. It was so funny I thought it was a comedy. The effects are amazing, though.

When Day After Tomorrow came out in the theaters, you will remember there were all the cries of "psuedo-science" and it not being realistic. I figured that the movie for the most part probably wouldn't even try to give a scientific explanation to what was happening, or dealt with it in abstract terms.

I have taken one class in Oceanography as a requirement and from that i could say the movie's rationality was so utterly absurd i couldn't help but laugh the whole way through it. Its one thing if leading experts can debunk the science of the movie, but anyone with the most limited scientific knowledge of weather could see they were pulling it straight outta their a@@! (Arctic water downwells, and even if it didn't how would COLD water create a Hurricane?[That Freezes everything in its path???]) They should have just cut out all the scenes of the scientific explanations on the editor's cut and make it like nobody knew what was going on.

Then of course there was the archetypical Republican politician, played by none other than Dick Cheney himself! As Ann Coulter says, Hollywood has a cast of actors that soley play roles of evil high school football coaches and Republican politicians.

Sorry, your post gave me a flash back to the absurdity of it all.
