The producers really screwed up by not having the cause be global warming. It woulda ensured multiple oscars.



The director already made that movie, it was called "the day after tomorrow" and it won no oscars.







I saw this movie absurdly drunk ( in a theatre that serves drinks to you, via waiter) and me and my party almost got kicked out for laughing so much at it.


If you see this movie, I recommend...


A) a Minimum of 7 drinks before hand, and a flask of rum to sneak in with you to mix with cokes. Also a copious amount of marijuana would also work, but it's a really long, terrible movie so you might be better off cooking it up in brownie form to get threw the whole thing

cool.gif bringing friends with you who are both degenerate w/r/t substances, and have a have a strong sense of ironic humor ( IE they can laugh at a bad movie and not get all hung up and indignant with how bad it is.) This is important. Going with the wrong people, who might take the movie seriously would be bad ,because your laughter and mocking is going to ruin their movie experience, and their constant " shhhhhing" and dirty looks are going to harsh your mellow.


C) If you have a mostly black theatre near you, go see it there on a weekend night. I regret not doing this my self. The type of laughing spectical that you're going to make of yourself is best fit for that kind of envirnoment, not a theatre full of upper middle class cougars going on their first date since their husband left them for his secretary, who take so much offense at your laughter that they call a manager. ( this happened to me, btw. She came up to us, and said, literally " You need to be quiet.. or I will get someone to MAKE you be quiet". The only thing I could do is laugh in her face, like literally. I had to put my hands over my own face I was laughing so hard at her. Obv the manager came and warned us a few minutes later. I think the only reason he didn't kick us out is because we were so deep into our booze tab, and he wanted to get paid).

Seeing Signs at this type of theater was one of the best decisions I ever made.

This movie was very pro-black.



Has there been an Emmerich movie that DIDN'T have a black president? Unfortunately, this appears to simply be a precursor to the end of the world...(Oh, wait...Independance Day...Bill Pullman could easily pass for black, though)


And lol @ BigD's story.

Er...and his other "end of the world" movie, The Day After Tomorrow. Not to step on the joke...

BigD, I had a similar outing when I saw Armageddon in the theater 12 or so years ago. We were in Holland (but not Amsterdam), so we were ridiculously high. We were also all about 17 years old. Being not in Amsterdam, the rest of the theater was Dutch people, who were completely clueless as to why we thought the movie was so gut-busting. They were way way too polite to complain though. Also, yes, it was in English (with Dutch subtitles). I dunno if I've ever laughed as hard at a movie as I did at Armageddon. It was phenomenal. Also, it had an intermission and we smoked another joint at that point. Intermissions should be standard in any movie longer than 2 hours.

I also had similar experiences with armegeddon, Volcano,the day after tomorrow, independence day. I'm a sucker for a bad disaster movie.

My favorite was watching a black guy and a white guy get in a fight at White Men Can't Jump.


Damn that Spike Lee.

I was the black guy in theater for Volcano. Especially at the end when they stopped lava flow with two rows of these:

I saw that with a bunch of college friends.. our whole purpose was to cheer as LA burned ( there was a lot of LA hate amoungst my dorm mates, which is strange for a school in a chicago suburb). My favorite part was whne the fire fighter or what ever was holding a child, in a rain of ash, and asks her which one is her mother. She said " I don't know.. the people.. their face.. they are the same. They are all the same". It was a powerful and moving message.

Impressive feat, this movie was. All I could think while watching it was: "Wow, if only this had been envisaged by Emmerich as a ground-breaking new form of cinema involving revolutionary use of 3D and exorbitant IMAX pricing - they could have had a Best Picture nomination on their hands and box office records to boot!"

I'm pretty sure that this movie will vie for the worst Budget:Quality ratio of all time.

What was it that you found so exciting about the movie? Was it the enthralling plot? The tight acting? The thrilling "car being chased by land falling into water" scene? The other "car being chased by land falling into land falling into water" scene? The "plane being chased by buildings falling into water" scene? The "stuff blowing up for unknown reasons" scene?

There's just so much to choose from!


Alright, fine, I was entertained. And I hate myself for it.

Goddamn you, Hollywood.

LL Cool J and his parrot hide from sharks in an oven. The shark swims into the kitchen and turns on the oven.

Best movie ever, end of story.

No you have it backwards... the shark was the cook, and LL Cool J and the Parrot were on the dinner menu
