The Day After The Day After Tomorrow
Saw
The Day After Tomorrow yesterday. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as we were expecting it to be. The movie presents an engaging (if implausible) story in the first half, then shifts to silly and stupid "father saves son" heroics in its second half. The main thing that I came away with is that wolves can survive both a giant tsunami
and subzero snow storms. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Big Fat Summer Taffy!
Best viewed in a mega-plex at 10 am (not a soul around, pretending to be Pauline Kael)
or after several Wachusett Blueberry Ales in a drive-in near Leominster, Massachusetts with friends giggling.
Done both.
BTW--my headshot!:

You know, we were at a 12:00 Saturday matinee and there couldn't have been more than ten people in the theatre. Word gets around quickly, I guess.
"Pretending to be Pauline Kael," heh.
I saw it on the big UltraScreen -- the only way to go. In a few years this will be a great cheesy movie for a Saturday night on TV, just like Airport with Dean Martin cast as the airline pilot (what were they thinking?)
