kaitouSo yesterday I was whisked away to Hofu where they have a Very Nice Movie Theatre by some other ALT's. There was also the promise of Baskin Robbins afterward. (so good!) They were playing Harry Potter, but the people I was with didn't want to see it. (bastards!) So we ended up seeing The Day After Tomorrow instead.
Lord, what a silly movie. I mean, silly is about par for disaster movies. And I certainly can't fault the effects, they were very cool. I'd actually like to see it again, so I can mock it loudly.
The second funniest moment was the Americans trying to cross the Mexican Border. We Three Americans were the only ones in the audience laughing at that, I don't think the Japanese people got the joke.
But the end all be all was where the three teens were on a Russain ship in the middle of downtown New York getting medicine, while the eye of the storm...and therefore instant freeze-drying...is about to come over them and THEN....AND THEN...they are attacked by WOLVES. I repeat. ATTACKED BY WOLVES. I was holding my breath and waiting for Calvin's T-Rexes in F-16's to swoop in, but they didn't. I bet it will be on the DVD extra footage.
But really, stupid movie. What exactly was the Dad planning to do when he GOT to New York? And why did everyone else let him go? Yes, let's let the only guy who has a clue what's going on go off on a suicide mission. And I say again, What exactly was he planning to accomplish by running off to New York? If he had waited a day he could have gone in a helicopter and that other guy wouldn't have died.
But you know...the ice cream later was really good.

Date: 2004-07-06 05:34 am (UTC)I think I read a review for the Day After Tomorrow that said it should have come packaged with MST3K.
How is 191 looking?? Any chance for a Hiroshima date??
