saw this trailer with the matrix last night, and man-oh-man, am I looking forward to this one:

I'm sure they'll be an extremely aggravating subplot featuring hokey studio actors, but the scenes of world destruction look soo sweet... I'm drawn towards images of realistic decimation, Armageddon-style, I even went so far as to rent "The Core," possibly the stupidest movie ever made but I did get to see Rome & San Francisco digitally destroyed. Well worth the 4 dollars. I'm contemplating seeing this one in the theater, it all depends on just exactly how annoying the mandatory dialogue pans out to be... the two stars are hit-or-miss (Dennis Quaid & Jake Gyllenhaal) as is the director Roland Emmerich, (Independence Day, Stargate) so perhaps he'll know enough to keep the dialogue to one-liners and quips and keep the Doomsday momentum going... Even if there is a gay buttloving love story between Quaid & Gyllenhall, it could be nonetheless worth the 9 bucks just to see NY & LA ripped apart by acts of God. Die modern world, die!

I think it looks pretty great too. They'll f**k it up like they did Waterworld though.

What you don't see in the preview is the Jar-Jar Binks of the movie. He'll be a 3 foot tall "End of the world" mutant with a heart of gold.

i.e. paden

Let's see. We'll need a love interest for the younger actor (the older one will be widowed long ago) that gets trapped somewhere, we'll need rescued children, and of course we'll need scenes of brave firefighters and soldiers so that the movie will come off as being patriotic.

We may even go so far as to have different races and stereotypes helping each other on the street (white helping arab, young punk helping old man, etc).

In conclusion, I'm going to need very good special effects supported by an incredible soundtrack (i.e. Titanic) to make this movie enjoyable, because I think I may not like the characters.

The Day After Tomorrow - As the greenhouse effect suddenly increases to the point where natural disasters are occuring regularly, a paleoclimatologist tries to find a wa to top it and save his son who was lot in New York when a severe ice storm hit.
Stars: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sela Ward

It stars Dennis Quaid so yeah sucky subplot.

It's happening for real!!! Here's a pic from LA today:

Nice teeth on that fellow!

All I could think while seeing that trailer and even all the rain the other day in LA(where I live and work) was "Arizona Bay".

GC should get it.
