The Day After Tomorrow
- Who's watched: Watched and bought this movie AMD
- Mentions: none
- Commentary: This is another movie that was released well before Mom's death but which neither of us noticed, until it was too late for her. I'm sure she would have enjoyed it at least as much as me. Another one of those movies I can watch again and again. Yes, I know, this scenario is highly unlikely, but, frankly, considering our continued head-in-the-sand attitude toward the increasing climate change and what we, as humans, think of as climate chaos (what happens probably isn't considered chaotic from the perspective of the climate gods), how would we know what's likely and what's not? This movie has a peculiar effect on me. Every time I watch it (and, actually, I watched it, yet again, last weekend), my unedited emotional reaction is, "Yes! Let it happen! Let it happen!" Pretty much the same as my reaction to Earth 2100, which I don't yet own but probably will, since I no longer have cable, on which it used to show about once every three months.
Update 2/7/18: In case you're interested, here's the link to Earth 2100 on YouTube, with subtitles. As well, the next two links will connect you to the "official" ABC scripts; the first for Act One and the second for Acts Two & Three. These scripts are loaded with links to peripheral information mentioned in the documentary. Guess I don't have to own this one, after all! I'll try to check these links every once in awhile in case they go dead and I have to scavenge others.
