where/when? i totally missed noticing him.

i'm gonna watch it as soon as class is over. too bad class ends at 9, and the theter opens at 11. what to do for 2 hours? i guess i could roam at gamestop unti lthey kick me out

agreed!

however, wayyyyyyyy to predictable
FX were awsome

3/5 (wait for the dvd to come out IMO)

special effects dont make a movie



didnt the matrix teach you fucks anything?

ok, then its 1/5

Originally posted by Lira Although some tunes from Day After Tomorrow are a bit boring, I liked their last album. The synths used set a nice mood, the lyrics are very deep and the singer's got a wonderful voice... not to mention she's got style, as you can see in the pictures from their live tour. 7/10 (I still like DAI more than DAT )

Post of the week

i give it an "OK". it's definently made as a summer movie, big opening, medium quality.

Saw it tonight.

Nominated for best comedy of the year for me.




The movie was a joke. They took the basic idea of the atlantic current hypothesis and blew it out of proportion. the ocean will not and cannot lose its heat that quickly. Let alone... a "hurricane over land"???

Hurricane atmospheric destabilization equals:

100-200 ft of 80� temps of surface water
steep lapse rates
upper level disturbance
african easterly trough
slow tropical jet
etc etc..

w/o all of those factors clouds will boil up to glaciated cumulous clouds and that is it.

OMG..... "Satellite shows temperatures are dropping 10� per second." Funny as fucking hell. Even UKMET and GOES in rapid scan mode can only do microwavesonde readings(microwave soundings of the atmosphere) in one minute intervals.....

and the fact el presidente would give a speech on the weather channel (the most retarded of retard meteorologists) is a fucking joke. on a 1-10 scale this gets a solid one in this meteorologists book. Even the special effects couldnt WOW me....

I was able to see the movie this friday, It was great, The tornadoes ripping thru LA was the best sequence for me, I especially love the part when this one guy with his cellphone gets in his Porsche and then suddenly you get this overhead shot of a bus on its side heading toward it then crushing it, And then you hear this news reporter going something like, a bus just crushed a porsche, Hope no one was in there, That got the audience in the theater laughing.

Did you even bother to think before posting this? The "hurricane" in the movie was not your typical hurricane, instead of being created using warm air/water it was created using cold air. Who's to argue exactly what will/could happen? It's all just a theory right now anyway. We don't exactly have a written history on what happened during the last ice age.

The comment about the President giving a speech on the Weather Channel is pretty funny too. Remember 9/11? Almost every station had a broadcast of any government speech given that day. It's very possible that if a weather-related disaster were to strike the US that the Weather Channel would air the speech also.

the movie was alright...

Im totally psyched about seeing this movie....

in the beginning i was thinking it would take a more realistic approach towards the end of the world via global warming, however after reading every single damn reply....ill just take this to be an action movie of grandois proportions

maybe its best i should watch this movie with no expectations...

or don't watch at all

i just got back from this. it was ok, but i don't know about some of the exagerations...i hate when they do that hehehe...

who here believes in global warning? i know a lot of intelligent scientist that think its a falacy and then those that believe its true...just curious what everyone else thinks?

Did you ever think of my qualifications? Think of this. What does cold air do. What does warm air do? Cold air sinks. Warm air "gasp" rises.... How can sinking air rise to create cloud formations? Answer me that.

And yes, all is theory but having a 'tropical cyclone' of that magnitude is scientifically impossible. Having one (theoretically) the size of the North America's would feed off of any available potential energy and such the atmopshere dry, thereby limiting the propagation of any other storm system......

IE Thermodynamic laws:

The first law of thermodynamics is a consequence of conservation of energy and requires that a system may exchange energy with the surroundings strictly by heat flow or work.

The second law of thermodynamics prohibits the construction of a perpetual motion machine "of the second kind." There are two usual statements of this law. Kelvin's formulation states that it is impossible for a system operating in a cycle and in contact with one thermal reservoir to perform positive work in the surroundings. Clausius's formulation states that it is impossible for a system operating in a cycle to produce positive heat flow from a colder body to a hotter body.

The third law of thermodynamics states that as temperature goes to 0, the entropy approaches a constant. Furthermore, it guarantees that the entropy of a pure, perfectly crystalline substance is 0 if the absolute temperature is 0.




And my last and final rant. The weather channel is a joke. 30% of their staff have actual Bachelor degree's in Meteorology. The other 70% obtained a 'degree' from Mississippi state. (I learned this fact from Melissa Barington who is an NIU graduate and employee of the weather channel) They dummy down the weather... on the order of making it broadcast worthy. The do not have to take any Math, Calculus or Differential Equations. They do not have to take Physics or Thermodynamics. They do not have to learn any computer programming. They learn what I learned in my 100 level class, freshman year....the pure basics. And they walk out acting like they are know it alls.

TeKnoHe@d2025, I dont mean to dog you, but what I say is not smoke being blown up your ass. I am (as of May 8th) graduate with a B.S. in Meteorology. I've decided to skip working off the bat and continue schooling. I am going to be attending Colorado State Univeristy to undertake a M.S. in climatology. So I know a thing or two about this subject.

CSU sucks!!!

GO CU!!!! hehehe

CSU is one of the top graduate/PhD schools in the country for atmospheric sciences

hehhe...just a little friendly rivalry...don't take it personally...

i go to CU..

lol. Go Rams! CU Buffaloes make me chuckle. (indeed rivalry is good!)

Very informative posts. I think we all know that the movie grossly exaggerates the time-frame, nature and effects of climate change.....it was never intended to be scientifically sound.

Lets face it, all the massive disasters and special effects are big and exciting and good to watch (for most of us anyway), and it is a movie, so they have created a fictional story BUT it is based on an element of truth. The element of truth is that global warming is occurring, it is heating up the atmosphere, and humans are contrubuting to global warming through the release of greenhouse gases. The message behind the film is a warning about the dangers of global warming.

I will be going to see this soon, just because i love a big, special-effects filled action movie, and it seems like quite an entertaining film. Not a "good" film as such, but an entertaining film nevertheless.

I will probably wait till i see Troy first though.

does anyone not believe in global warming? _Nut_ i'm sure you know what i'm talking about when professors are for and against it...

nice one,..i have a BA in Geography with a focus in Meterology/Climatology,... I hear OU(oklahoma) and FSU (florida state) also have excellent weather programs,.... im also planning on getting a masters in one of those 2 fields in the next few years,... Field Artillery in the Army is occupying my time now...
