Very funny review of The Day After Tomorrow by Michael Totten.
He quotes Matt Welch as saying that the movie is "utter horseshit but damned entertaining."
Ha!! I LOVE movies like that.
But Totten's review is quite amusing.
So then everyone in the library gets a bright idea. Hey! We can walk out of here now that the ocean is frozen. The hotshot kid of a bad-ass climatologist says “Wait!” (This is only an approximate quote.) “We’ll freeze to death if we go out there.”A bespectacled man looks at the kid and asks, “Where did you get that information?”
And I’m thinking, dude. The ocean just froze solid in 20 minutes. It’s freakin’ cold outside.
Ha!
Posted by sheilaSomewhere else I remember reading that the people in the library go through this long debate on what books they're willing to burn to stay warm. And the reviewer points: so they never once thought about burning the furniture?!

I had fun writing it, so I'm glad you had fun reading it. :)
