The Day After Tomorrow (Spoilers)

[Villano]

Why must you guys be so defensive ?

I seem to recall Conan O'Brien being labled a "racist" by Canadians and being forced to apologize because Triumph the insult comic dog made fun of French Canadians.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist that.

As to the movie, nothing about this seems interesting to me. I hate disaster movies and, after ID4 and Godzilla, I have no desire to see anything by these filmmakers.

Besides that, someone I know who saw the movie said that characters are being chased by the cold and that we see a P.O.V. shot from the cold's persepective as it chases them and "growls".

I guess Hollywood ran out of ways for people to outrun fireballs. Outrunning cold? I can't wait until people start outrunning humidity!

The outrunning cold scenes were downright hilarious. If you ever get a chance to see the movie on TV, watch it just for those scenes.

THe "growling" was actually the sound of metal freezing

The wolves weren't totally CGI. If you stayed through the credits, it listed the wolf trainers and handlers. You don't need those for CGI, even under Hollywood's militant union regulations.

It seems that they tried using real wolves, hence the credits, but found that they wern't able to act mean and viscous enough. So to show just how dangerous and evil the wolves were they redid the scenes in CGI.

I paid matinee prices and I felt that it was worth that much. I would have felt cheated at full price.

The "growling" cold was certainly less ridiculous than the roaring shark in the Lara Croft sequel. Not sure what this observation has to do with The Day after Tomorrow, except that perhaps I still feel as if someone owes me a personal apology for the roaring shark.

You know what's weird? I saw a show on sharks on one of the science channels (Discovery, The Learning Channel, etc) where a shark attack victim recounted his experience. He was sitting on his surfboard and said he heard a sound like a lion roaring, then the shark attacked.

Of course, that's the only time I've ever heard of such a thing. It's quite possible that he imagined it. I mean, he did get his leg bitten off by a shark. I have no idea what would go through your mind at that point.

But what's really strange is that roaring sharks turn up in a bunch of films, most famously in Jaws: The Revenge. Maybe it's a really, really obscure fact. I tried to do a google search on this once, but all I got were people making fun of J:TR.

Maybe we can actually learn something from J:TR. I can add it to the list of facts I learned from the film such as a great white can swim from New England to Jamaica and get there before an airplane, sharks explode when implaled, and that even a hungry shark will spit out Mario Van Peebles (even they have standards!).
