The newest trailer for 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about, bee-yotch.

I think it's amusing how many of my favorite movies can be summed up with the phrase, "Everybody DIES!" And is it bad that this is the movie I'm looking forward to most this summer? I mean, Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal? Oh, they can totally come save my ass. Beau Bridges, not so much.

And that wave destroying the Sydney Opera House? *adores*

I love environmental disaster movies, but why does Mother Nature never put the smackdown on the southwest? The only thing that even came close was Twister, and the stuff in there was only a tad out of the norm.

This is what happens when filmmakers use L.A. and New York getting destroyed and ignore everywhere else in the US. This leaves the possibility for a sequel, called Lotsa Shit Dies: 2, where Midwesterners are entirely in charge of rebuilding civilization. There's a pan shot of everybody crawling out of the rubble, applying blue eyeshadow, and going to eat at Denny's. Then Donna Karan releases a line of sweatpants at her new outlet stores. I fear that Fashion Week will move to Lake of the Ozarks.

*Disclaimer: Yeah, I know, not everybody in the Midwest acts like that, but large portions of my family do, and I've spent way too much time at the Council Bluffs Village Inn to not make these generalizations.

YEAH, BABY!

I just hope they show it here in Banff. Otherwise I'll have to go to Edmonton for like a week this summer to see all the movies I want to see.

i Fear these great trailers, though. this is the same guy who perpetrated id4 and godzilla. both those movies had really kick-ass promotional campaigns, gottaseeit gottaseeit gottaseeit, and then we saw it, and it was like unto an unflushed toilet.

Now, let's remember, I'm the one who's upset she's missing 10.5 right now. It's okay if it sucks, just as long as the human population drops in great clunking heaps in horrific disasters. And hey, if the dialogue gets too stupid, I can just put on my headphones and focus on the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is a hottie. :) (I will be optimistic about this, no matter what it takes ...)

definitely something in those gyllenhaal genes. i like maggie, too. especially after secretary. rowr. :)

Omigod. I cannot. wait. to see that movie. Thank you for the link... I'm totally bouncing around my chair.

Gah... the tanker in midtown Manhattan was enough to make me squeal.

What? What is this shit about the Southern Hemisphere being affected too? Obviously someone forgot the golden rule that we folks down here tend to escape th big events in disaster films. Humph.

The movie does look incredibly cool!

Finally. I've always wanted to see we Aussies get a look-in on the disasters! Closest we've come was the four-second shot in Independence Day where all those people are cheering on the Harbour Bridge as the ship burns. Newsflash: If they'd used that beam-thingy on Sydney, there'd be no bridge.

Pah.
