Where will you be The Day After Tomorrow?

[Focused70]

Any thoughts on whether the ending will be as implausible as the ending to Independence Day?

Special effects look amazing though.

Soba

[Gyno Rhino]

In class. Or at home. Or in a car.

[Manveet]

What's the premise of the movie again? I know the Earth goes through a climatic upheaval, but what actually triggers it?

[Relentless]

a big comet I think

[ReturnedFire]

that movie looks awesome. i love end of the world movies like that :D

and jake gyllenhall is in it too, which is sweet. have you guys seen Donnie Darko? :thumbup:

[Tryska]

what movie now?

[TBone4Eva]

Global warming triggers it. This movie is really going to be for a nitche audience. Seeing as though I'm going to be a future meteorologist, I'll be there. :D

[Stephen Riddington]

Looking forward to the movie.

[Allenronm]

saw them filming some scenes.

[twcolabear]

Its funny that a lot of people in US havn't heard of it, but it's advertised everywhere in Taipei. The ads are on the metro trains, in the metro stations, big posteres, etc....
I love end of the world movies too, so I'l looking forward to this one. I hope it will be good

[TBone4Eva]

It's not really being marketed here very much. Maybe the movie studio thinks it's going to bomb.

[geoffgarcia]

are you kidding?
I've never seen a 10 minute trailer during prime time on network TV for ANY movie ever....I bet their spot tonight before American Idol cost them a pretty penny...

I think they have a 10 minute trailer running every other night
I just watched tonights, the special effects look great.

Its gotta a lot of the Armageddon feel to it w/ family members trapped around the planet...(minus an asteroid drilling team)

[TBone4Eva]

Granted they did it on Network TV, but they stole that 10 minute idea from Dawn of the Dead. That one was done on the USA cable channel. I hope it's good. I like the special effects, but I'm not going to let that dictate whether I think it's going to be a good movie or not. Hopefully they left some room in the budget for a good story.

[Canadian Crippler]

The adverts in Canada have been pretty long. I see it at almost every movie preview, and atleast twice a week on TV. The movie looks awesome...

[Narcissus]

looks like tree-hugging propaganda to me

Since this here is your niche (without a T) just how could global warming ever cause the extreme events portrayed in this movie?

and is global warming even proven to be true and related to CO2 emission yet?

[Titan]

Looks like a decent movie

[geoffgarcia]

you'll have to watch the movie to find out! :clap:

[Reinier]

As long as it just doesn't have anything to do with ancient Indian burial grounds, Hebrew spells, that computer virus that spread through electric outlets in "The Recruit" or cover-up morgues it should be cool.

Also I sure hope nobody caused apocalypse in some way by using a creatine bodybuilding supplement.

Reinier correcting someone's spelling, hmmmmmm...

On a side note, this movie prob. won't make money until it hits video. These movies are costing more and more to make, it's getting ridiculous.

[Relentless]

i predict it will be a movie that REAL climatologists drag their friends to go see so they can laugh at the awful science behind it

my father in law is a geophysicist... he thinks "the Core" is one of the funniest movies he's ever seen

[geoffgarcia]

callahan, see what does your father in law think of this

some guy trying to manipulate the weather using satellites to harness the suns power to change pockets of air and direct hurricans/tornados from populated areas

What you have to realize is that the Earth is always trying to maintain balance. The atmosphere works on this premise. Thus if an area gets drier, an area must get wetter. Heat is the primary energy source. The vast majority of which we get from the sun. The theory is that by adding more heat to the engine, you throw the atmosphere out of balance. Storms, such as Hurricanes, are just the atmosphere's attempt to keep heat and moisture in balance.

The only real definitive thing I've heard is that there has been a correlation between an increase in the average temperature and increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. However, the atmosphere is complex, thus I do not believe you can make a claim that CO2 alone could be causing the increase in temperatures. There are just too many other factors to consider.

Actually many scientists came out against this movie when they first heard the concept and saw some of the special effects because they believed they were unrealistic. However, their stance has soften a bit as their hope has risen that the movie will get more people thinking about the subject. Sort of like how Armageddon and Deep Impact got people thinking about meteors and comets.

It couldn't.

And yes.

The Earth is a big rotating ball full of crap. It doesn't try anything. But yea its true.

[Rock]

I wish I could wake up in the day after tomorrow in usa, with all my friends there and all of my family, and I could go to college and compete in the NPC, buy an american car, live in the sun everyday, and never look back.

[Gyno Rhino]

What's stopping, you, Stein?

someone else is thinking about it, at least... this is a cheap novel I read in Oz recently

dad-in-law won't have much to say about climatological matters, as he's a geophysicist... that's why "The Core" is HIS movie.

[geoffgarcia]

i suppose it is like asking a dentist about a foot problem...I just figured he might have a better understanding than avg







how would you like to mow my lawn? hhmmm! hmmmm!!!

[Relentless]

oh he probably has an opinion

but he is shockingly misinformed about many scientific things outside of his specialty

[Allenronm]

What's stopping, you, Stein?


You giving him a visa?

[Gyno Rhino]

He can come here.

He could get a visa - be given citizenship. The U.S. still does these things, albeit not as often as in the past. He may have to work hard at it, but he certainly could make it.

[Allenronm]

Not likely.

[Gyno Rhino]

Not likely.

I'd vouch for him any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

If I had the means, he could live with me until his residency requirements are fulfilled.

He's a terrific kid, and I think if he and someone else worked hard enough at it, he'd be in.

[Jasonl]

buy an american car, Now why would you want to do that when European cars are far superior???:cool:

[Allenronm]

Again, I think it's unlikely.

He's not coming from a war torn country and I'm assuming he's not super super wealthy.

[Reinier]

He's from a super wealthy country though. I think In Holland if they hear you're from Norway or Sweden they're like ahh why didn't you say so come along.... how was your trip

[Focused70]

If Rock has family Stateside, it'd be easy.

That's how Mom and I got into the U.S. (30 years ago). She got married to this Mormon dude and divorced him 6 months later. 6 years after that, we became naturalized citizens. :) (I automatically became a citizen when she became a citizen. I was 10 years old at the time.)

Borders are tighter now Soba.

[Allenronm]

naw, the fact remains that today the US has very harsh immigration policies.

[Stephen Riddington]

Now why would you want to do that when European cars are far superior???:cool:

Sorry to burst your bubble... Japanese cars OWNS!!!!!!!

[Gyno Rhino]

relax Glen

I think allenronm has just been taking seagull lessons from Reinier

Yes.

There are two mainland Europeans that I'd be glad to help become U.S. citizens - Rock and Reinier.

[Reinier]

I love Europe though. There are lots of things I admire about the USA, but unless the EU completely crashes, I'm staying.

[Jasonl]

Sorry to burst your bubble... Japanese cars OWNS!!!!!!!
I know they're more reliable, and my favorite car is a MkIV Supra, but most Japanese cars have no "soul".

[Gyno Rhino]

most Japanese have no "soul".

Racist.

[Stephen Riddington]

come on, Gyno.... you're the racist, since you "edited" the quote of his post. tuttut

[Rock]

wow thanks for you support Gyno, I am giving it hard thought, I wouldnt mind working 10hours a day all week to live in california, Norway just limits me to much, they own me, and its scary to live in a "commie" nation when people just...I mean...the guts, the machismo..its gone.

[Rock]

people in america believe in something, they stand for something, theire willing to give it all for that something, when ever I see an american high school movie, I get freakin lost in dreams about the states.

[Jasonl]

Racist.
tuttut Indeed.....

Oh well, time for :burger: and :strong: :D

[geoffgarcia]

rock, dont' believe everything you see in TV...
not every American lives the story of Rocky Balboa, Dirk Diggler, Puff Daddy or Peyton Manning...we just have a more developed media system then you guys have over there

Maybe you haven't seen some of the HBO specials on inbred West Virginians, the homeless, Apalachian Incest, Backwoods Louisiana or gang violence that seems to dominate the entire west coast

[Reinier]

LOL I've seen all that stuff. Literally what you mentioned.

I also saw when Ruby Wax (she is the coolest) visited the Appalachians. It was impressive and shocking. It was the only time I ever saw that woman flabbergasted. She just didn't know what to say. And she's seen some serious stuff in her career.

I don't necessarily agree the USA has a more developed media system than Europe... it's less privatized here and we have more public tv and radio stations but we have a virtually endless load of different mags and satellite tv stations now too. The USA was earlier with that though.

[Allenronm]

Rock, you sound very idealistic, and that's great.

However, the streets in America aren't necessarily paved of gold.

[Gyno Rhino]

come on, Gyno.... I hate black people, too.

Dude, what's with the racism?!??!? ;)

[Gyno Rhino]

For the most part, America is what you make it.

[Allenronm]

For the most part, America is what you make it.

Yes, not what's it made to be in the movies though.

[Rock]

sure it is, arent all those storys based on something.

Garcia, I understand that in a nation with 300million people, there are going be bad things, I can also understand how uncomfortable it is to live close t gangs and gangviolence, apalaches, what is that? and louisiana backwoods, arent that just frenchmen who kept their way of living, and were called cajuns or? tell me about backwoods louisiana, have you seen the movie, death in the swamps by the way?.

[Allenronm]

Dude, you're dreaming.

[DoubleGulp]

Oh, stop being so pessimistic. Rock: 1st, don't listen to Allen. 2nd, if you come here head to suburbs. The only gang members in my suburb are idiots that drive their mom's mini-vans and would be afraid to look at you twice.

[TBone4Eva]

Bullcrap! There are just as many, if not more gangs in the suburbs. That is a misconception. Just like most drug use occurs in the inner city, yeah right.

[Gyno Rhino]

Look, Rock, here's the bottom line.

**** can happen to you anywhere. Not just here in the States. You've been a victim of gang violence already, have you not?

The point is that the U.S. still is, and always has been, and hopefully always will be the Land of Opporunity. You get out what you put in.

Stories like Rocky and whatnot are fiction. But they can and do happen in real life.

You would be a wonderful American citizen. If you really want to, I urge you to seek it out.

Listen to whomever you want.

Don't go taking all the good people out of Europe now.

[Chubrock]

Hell Rock, I don't even know ya and I'd still tell ya to come on over. If ya really wanna live the "American Dream" but still live in a place that has some history, you should come to North Carolina. Trust me. I've lived in several different states, and N.C. by far is better than anywhere else I've lived. The only other place that comes close is Charleston, S.C., and that's only because the historical downtown area straight ROCKS! But hey, like everybody else in here, this is just my two cents.

[Gyno Rhino]

Don't go taking all the good people out of Europe now.

Haven't we been doing that for over 500 years now?

[TBone4Eva]

Took some of us africans along for the ride also :thumbup:.

[Rock]

thanks for the inputs in this thread, gyno, yes I am strongly thinking about it.
