Before i start off on one, just a quick update on the questionnaires (just in case you want to know/be acknowledged.
Clare Bear has done it
As has Nicky Peee (lol)
DHols
Ward
Zarus
Machete
AND
Fawster *does New York accent*
And todays topic....
The Day After Tomorrow. Its good. Its pretty darn good even. Not only does it have great effects, camera shots and a “message” behind it, it has FIT actors! Well… two.. but hey. The message of global warming completely got to me, I said to Spangus “I'm walking to the bus stop from now on instead of taking the car!”
Stereotypically, it’s a guy film, and can easily be placed into the category of apocalypse movies alongside Deep Impact, Independence Day and Armageddon (can anyone think of any more?)
Hey, it even features space in it and theres a touch of comedy if you go see it with Bebs who shouts out random things like “ass” from time to time.
Personally I think one of the best aspects in the film are the graphics. Of course its all done digitally and stuff, and yes, some things we really have seen before (ie a large tidal wave engulfing the Statue of Liberty.) However, it is the sheer surreal-ness of seeing the whole of Manhattan completely shrouded in snow that makes this film stand out from the usual asteroid-and–aliens apocalypse films. Not to mention the stunning camera shots (sounds very director-y lol), my favourite being when the camera smoothly zooms out from an open fire exit door on a tall skyscraper, to reveal LA in complete ruins. This mans just standing on the edge where half of the office block has been completely ripped away. (Think exactly like the MenInBlack2 ending when they zoom out, away from the locker door that Will Smith’s just opened to reveal another world.)
In a word? Impressive. Almost … epic, I could say.
And this debate about Zarus being in it. Now im not sure why Ward said that. Are you insinuating (not inseminating) that Zarus is a nerd? (president of the chess club, the electronics club and the maths club to be exact) Or are you simply saying Zarus is similar to Arjay Smith (who WAS in Malcom in the middle AND allen strange AND the Bernie mac show - so Zarus should know :P ) just because he's black!? I do not understand though i have the sinking feeling i'v just missed a really obvious joke...
