A plague, an heir to billions, and a true love. I could like that. Thanks for pointing this out, miggy. :)

Speaking of disasters, one of the trailers that came on before the movie today was for The Day After Tomorrow. *squees* I'm sorry, it's just ... this is my favorite movie genre here. Even if it sucks, I'll love it and hug it and name it George. And when IMDb had that poll about which summer movie you were most looking forward to, I picked this one. Yes, I'm still looking forward to Spider-Man 2 and Harry Potter and Troy and whatnot, but ... but ... everybody dies in this one! (Not everyone, but, well, you know what I mean.)

Also speaking of disasters, they showed the Catwoman trailer, too. As soon as it was over, everybody in the theater laughed, and not in a good way. Hee!

One of the best things about this trailer is that wave hitting New York, 'cause all I thought was, "EEE! They're re-using my favorite part of Deep Impact!"

And Morgan Freeman as President was just perfect. One of the best screen presidents ever.

What's killing me everytime I see this trailer is just everything they do to New York, and if they do stuff to DC, I'll get the same reaction, because all I'll be able to think is, "Hey, I've been there! And now there are tornadoes and hurricanes and whatnot!"

Ooo, I really need May 28th to get here, like, yesterday.

Heh.

That's my least favourite part of Deep Impact.

I really hated for awhile that "it's not a global disaster movie unless they show the disaster having a go at New York!"

I'm from NY, born and raised, and I had this bug in my ear about NY being bashed on from well before 9-11 or the first attempt on the WTC [which was months before the third Die Hard came out].

I just think NY is not the only easily recognizable city in the world, and so they need to give other cities a chance to be horribly damaged in global disasters.

The Core, cheesy as it is in places, has my undying love for blowing up Rome and London, for instance.

And Armageddon has my love for blowing up Paris and Hong Kong.

YES. Blowing up cities they don't know normally blow up is always a bonus in a disaster movie. Which is why I still kinda like Independence Day, of all things ... because admittedly they don't show it, but at one point they blew up Chicago and Atlanta. Ooo, and Moscow, but you didn't get to see that one, either.

With Deep Impact, I did have huge love for that wave. Mmm. Oceanic destruction. *happy sighs*

The Wave scene worked for me until Tea Leoni ruined it by going "...daddy!"

You dumb bint. You had your chance to get to safety in the helicopter [though you did selflessly give up your seat to save the baby of that horrible woman who dissed you all through the movie and even THEN tried to keep her baby with her so they could die in the waveshock together].
