FILM FLAM
Courtesy of degenerate SW:
As usual, we had a ball at the weekly drive-invasion. "Day After Tomorrow" is a
ridiculous movie with brilliant special effects. The general story isn't so bad
- global warming causes de-salinization of the oceans which affects temperatures
in the Atlantic creating huge storm systems. Ya have to suspend your disbelief A
LOT to swallow the plot line that these storms rise up within a few days. But
all of that folly is bearable; I can handle the departure from reality. But the
film is packed with these retarded subplots involving a search for penicillin,
burning classic books, escaped wolves (yes, wolves), a boy with cancer,
political disputes, and a love story / triangle / rivalry that never takes hold.
There's even a chase scene where the actors are actually outrunning A COLD
FRONT. You can see a misty freeze chasing them around NYC. It's incredibly
laughable. But that's what seeing movies at the drive in is for. It's about
balls-out laughing at the most ridiculous plot points and sharing the joke with
your friends. We laughed a lot during "DAT", but not as much as during "Troy"
which still holds first place as this summer's most absurd blockbuster.
Just wait until "King Arthur"!
EAR PLUGS
Got a few other reviews waiting in the wings but I wanted to get this one up
before I head off for a bachelor party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, then back for
the big show at Starlight Drive In on Sunday afternoon.
