The Day After Tomorrow...

[Nakiro]

Sucked. In one word - cheesy. An approperiate adjetive would be amazingly.

Discuess.

[Delirium]

It looks really good. I plan on hopefully seeing this at some point soon. What was bad about it? With all the great stuff of icebergs and tornadoes and whatnot it had to be awesome to see on a big screen.

[Weedmage Princess]

Aww sorry to hear that! I was (am) looking forward to checking that out. Think I still will. You know the saying...one man's trash....

[Meos]

The effects and idea looked and cool.... but you can tell from the trailer that the plots gotta be retarded. I'll check it out when you can rent it.

[Nakiro]

The ice effects are unrealistic. The entire northern hemisphere gets frozen over by tropical land hurricanes that have a freezing centerpoint of -150 degrees, but although every building freezes over, no one inside the buildings is touched. You have to be outside the building to be hurt.

There is the classic 17 year old love romance which didn't appeal to me and seemed all too dramatic.

There are a lot of corny scenes. Like the President is the last person to leave the white house, even though there is 17 feet of snow outside.

Okay, the movie ends with the Vice President appologizing for having used too many fossil fuels, and it shows these astronauts in space are all like, "Look, the air never looked so clean!"

Everyone fled to Mexico (which was just comical to watch people cross to Rio Grande). The President managed to get refugee status by "forgiving every latin-American of their debt".

There is also this graphical diagram of how the air gets incredibly cold because it is pushed down rapidly from the upper atmosphere, and they explain it like six times throughout the movie, every time using the same computer diagram (which isn't all that impressive at all).

The entire plot is just dumb. The storm is suppose to last for months and months, but instead it ends in what is precieved as a week or two.

<< The effects and idea looked and cool.... but you can tell from the trailer that the plots gotta be retarded. I'll check it out when you can rent it. >>

Movies like these are meant to be seen on the big screen for the exact reason you describe.

If you don't see it in a theater, there's no point seeing it at home.

Actually, my girlfriend's father's passion is videos. He works as an assistant manager at Hollywood Video and owns a 6 ft big screen tv with digital surround sound. Its a pretty awesome theatre system.

But I wouldn't be watching this movie again.

An assistant manager at hollywood video owns a big screen TV? He must either A. Have a rich wife B. Not eat.

C. Make the best of his money, and have invested well.

[Meos]

D. Sells drugs.

[Weedmage Princess]

E) Is retired and just does this as a side gig.

Although once I'm retired, that's it. I'm travelling.

[Blazing247]

Oh god, a love plot?

I have this theory, and it has yet to be disproven. When it is obvious that a screenwriter has run out of ideas for his plot, in comes the love story. Whether the plot makes sense or not, the leading man and leading lady always get it on. It's fucking pathetic, and it's one of the main reasons I hate most of the movies released in the past five years. Not EVERY story has to have a love plot in it. I really wanted to see this movie, bad effects or plot aside, but now I'm not sure. A bad plot I can handle, bad special effects I can handle, a nonsensical love plot thrown in the middle? Nope.

[Nakiro]

Actually his brother wrote that nifty little program known as Turbo Tax, and became a multi-millionaire. His brother then gave his mother and father a large sum of money to live off of, and when his mother died he inheriated quite a bit of it. They're by no means rich, but at the time he had to choose between having his teeth replaced with dentures or getting a big screen tv system.

He chose the TV.

Now that his father has died about three months ago, he is getting his teeth done.

That isnt the entire premise. Its one of three.

There is the love plot between the boy and the girl, the struggle for the father to convince people to evacute for the storm, and the father's struggle to reach his son who is buried in 17 feet of snow in the New York Public Library.

[Back]

Having just arrived home from the theatre, I have to say it was pretty cool. If you take it for an over-the-top big budget production. It seems to me even the people who made the movie knew it from some of the humor. there were campy moments, there were intense moments, social commentary, love intrests, and the scale of it puts Titanic to shame.

It wasn't supposed to be a documentary. When asked how is it possible to have an ice age happen so fast, the director said something to the effect of "I only had two hours." Not an exact quote from a reliable source. I think I heard that on the radio.

Another thing I noticed was that the crowd was pretty into it. No one yaking it up like when I went to Kill Bill 2.

PS. Nakiro, you might want to add a spoiler title to this thread. You've given the entire plot away in a paragraph. Funny that.

Eh, I had a friend tell me not to waste my time or money to even rent it... so Ill pass

This comment was necessary Because....?

A) Because your an ass

B) Because you thought yourself funny?

C) Because making fun of others gainfully
employed but not at a job you yourself
want to do makes you feel moderately
superior.

D) All of the above.

[The Korean]

Maybe he was just curious how someone who's an assistant manager at a video store could afford such a huge TV. I found nothing harassing or wrong with his statement.

Cry about it. Personally, I could care less if you work at burger king, or if you are Bill Gates. Anyone that gets by without being on welfare is fine with me, and if you don't fit that category, who cares, it doesn't matter what I think.

So please, next time you respond to my post, don't.... keep your hand on your penis and continue with your normal activities.

I suppose after such a witty post such as that I should congratulate on such juvenile ingenius trailer park humor, unfortunately, it just doesn't impress many above the grade nine mark, care to try again or was that the best you had to offer up?

I must ask, do you live life? Or just ridicule those that attempt to do so?

Almost every post I read from you is pretty much derogatory and demeaning, I suppose there is a small quoetient of people that think it's funny, but most don't.

If you don't want replies to your posts, I might suggest not posting such pap.

If its a battle of wits you wish, please come armed with more than junior high level insults and innuendo.

Please feel free to use more than sexual sarcasm for the reply to this post, hell, feel more than free to use words that use up more than four letters in the alphabet.

Good Luck

[longshot]

First, learn how to quote. Don't quote the entire thread...

Second, after all of 31 posts and less than two months here, it is fucking ridiculous for you to generalize and critique someone's posting style.

Does he live life? Give me a break!

Also, if you are going to try and use large words to sound intelligent, try and spell them correctly. I can't point these out to you, because Harmnone gets pissed,... but in general, if you are going to sound like an elitist fuck, try to follow through with it, okay?

He made a point that given the employment level, such a luxurious home theatre setup was unlikely. It's not such an asshole thing to say. You are just having trouble digesting it.

Now, if you could shut the hell up? Please?

Edited because I suck at cut and paste... leading to a few mistakes that Blazing so kindly pointed out. Blah!

[Edited on 5-30-2004 by longshot]

[Blazing247]

Longshot, if you're going to critique his spelling, don't make a spelling error yourself. Dumbass.

[longshot]

My bad...

I shouldn't have brought it up.

So, yeah, Day After Tomorrow.

I just talked to my friend and he said it was pretty terrible.

Imagine paying $18 dollars to see it in a movie theatre...

[peam]

I, as a shift leader at Hollywood Video, drive a Lexus and drink only the finest of wines.

Whoa, you say that what I said is lame, and you come back with "trailer park humor?" As much as I would love to comment on this post, I can't because it hardly makes sense. I don’t speak “retarded.”


I must ask, do you live life? Or just ridicule those that attempt to do so?

Do I live life? Do you even think before you type? That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.


Almost every post I read from you is pretty much derogatory and demeaning, I suppose there is a small quoetient of people that think it's funny, but most don't.

I see you speak for everyone then? "Everyone finds your insults to be stupid. Most people don't find your comments to be funny" Guess what, I DON'T TRY TO IMPRESS PEOPLE ON A MESSAGE BOARD. I mean if you'd like, I'd try to sound like a pompous moron such as yourself and to use big words, but I'll hold off. I mean I wouldn't want to seem ostentatious. Oh, and not to mention almost every post I make that is derogatory is made in jest. (except for any directed at Klaive) This is a message board, jokes should not be taken to heart…. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.


If you don't want replies to your posts, I might suggest not posting such pap.

Oh you took me seriously? I look forward to reading your posts, I'll get to know my nephew a little better since he can try to figure out where your coming since I sure don't.


If its a battle of wits you wish, please come armed with more than junior high level insults and innuendo.

Hey look at that, you commented on my high school level insults, but the comments you made were PHD level!


Please feel free to use more than sexual sarcasm for the reply to this post, hell, feel more than free to use words that use up more than four letters in the alphabet.

If your referring to four letter words as in swearing, I highly doubt you'll find many posts with me swearing at someone. If your referring to me not using "big words," I'm sorry, I suit my writing style to the audience, so since I'm directing my posts to you..... I keep it simple. No offense, but if you are going to use some big words and insult my writing, please spell them correctly.

Ok, to end this…..

You have got to be the most retarded person I’ve ever talked to on this board, even worse then Klaive. You talk about all my “juvenile ingenious trailer park humor” however I made ONE insult in my reply to you. You’re entire post was based around a single comment, but you completely ignored the other part. You are the ONLY person that took offense and posted to what I said. Guess what, I wasn’t trying to impress you.

I mean you comment on my style of writing and my comments. Except, you make the same “juvenile” comments, the only difference is you used big words, which of course you spelled incorrectly.

{COVER YOUR EYES EVERYONE, SINCE YOU ALL HATE WHAT I SAY! AVERT YOUR EYES NOW, JUVINILE COMMENTS AHEAD, TURN BACK NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE)

Please, take the stick out of your ass, and put it back under the wheel of your trailer so you don’t roll somewhere else to spread your idiocy. When you’re done with that, go outside, find some women and get laid (or masturbate if you can’t get someone), you definitely need it. You’re “I’m better then you” attitude makes me laugh. I think I’ll go have another beer so I can see if I can find some big words on it to use in my next post.

[Bobmuhthol]

I'll break the rules this one time.

You misspelled the following words while trying to be not a dumbass:

Ingenious
Quotient
It's

You missed two commas. You have four run-on sentences; learn to use some fucking semicolons and periods. One of your sentences is a sentence fragment.

It's very obvious that you are, in fact, a complete dumbass and need to STFU immediately.


Edit: Normally I would neither care nor notice, but you seem to think you're a fucking genius when you're nothing more than a little bitch.

[Edited on 5-30-2004 by Bobmuhthol]

[Nakiro]

Please, ladies, this isn't worth fighting over. Yes, they are simple people that don't live extragently, but even if they heard your comments they wouldn't have taken offense.

There's no good reason to fight over such things.

Here, have a slice of pizza. :pizza:

There, now don't you feel better?

[Hulkein]

Movie fucking sucks.

I asked the guy at the front when the real movie was being shown after the film.

[Warriorbird]

Terrible. Fortunately basically got free tickets.

[Blazing247]

So...I saw it last night. Nakiro was pretty much dead-on. Good special effects, and nothing else. How the fuck did the helicopters fly that far without refueling, oh...a dozen times? This movie went Jurassic Park at one point with the animals. It wasn't as bad as 28 Days Later, but it was pretty bad.

So after hearing everyone say it blows... Why did all you people go see it?

[Hulkein]

I purposely didn't read this thread because I thought it would be good and didn't want to read any spoilers..

Big mistake.

[Artha]

It wasn't as bad as 28 Days Later, but it was pretty bad.

I like that movie :(

You tell 'em!

On topic: This movie may suck, I think it probably will.

[Snowman]

Eh, considering I posted at 3 am after a night on the town, I'd rather say the spelling errors were kept to a minimum.....thats besides the point though, its the jist of the post that counts, isn't it? Or when all else fails do we fall back on....you mispelled three words! Therefore your post is invalid!

Give me a break.

As for dates of membership goes, I didn't realize that was a pre-qualification to state an opinion, though, my membership dates back a few years, just this particular nickname doesn't since I changed my membership after I discontinued playing G$.

There is always noise from the peanut gallery and the post counters. Most of the time the people with the most posts have the least to say of substance.

If thats what blows your hair back, then let the hot wind fly.

[Nakiro]

28 days later was waaaaaaaaaaaay better than this movie. It had some sweet camera work, and it did a good job keeping people in suspense.

Anyone watch Adult Swim?

Heh, they had a commerical. It was like... A raging tidal wave destroys New York City, and then a freezing blizzard covers it with snow. A hundred twisters wipe out the entire California coast. Millions of people die all around the world. Yet Hollywood still manages to make horrible movies with really bad scripts.

I nearly died in laughter.
