That was a Douglas Adams book, right?

The greenies are annoying Pixy and that reminded me of an anecdote: Customer came up to the box office and asked for two tickets to "The End of the World." We knew immediately she wanted to see "The Day After Tomorrow".

I haven't watched it yet myself, but judging by the bits I have seen, sans sound, from the projection booth, I know what it's about--Dennis Quaid and some other "scientists" are drilling in a polar ice cap and cause the whole thing to crack. Part of it apparently floats away and covers New York City during some ecology conference in New Dehli. Then some people trapped in a high-rise throw their furniture into the fireplace until the monster from Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher" comes to their door, then they throw the furniture in faster. At the end everyone walks across the ice until a helicopter picks them up and they fly over the head of the statue of Liberty.

Hope I didn't spoil it for you.

No, you didn't spoil it.

It was already blue/green/fuzzy/lumpy/runny/smelly when you found it.

You just took it out of the fridge.

You can throw it away now.

(Off topic: I am puzzled - Your referral box shows braless blogging as the commonest referral site, yet when I tried to post a comment there it said no comments were allowed - is this a glitch?)

Thanks, Michael

Damn Susie, your description actually makes it sound sorta interesting. Are you sure Godzilla (rubber suit, not CGI) wasn't in it too?

If it had Godzilla I'd go see it.

"Susie... rubber suit... in it"

WHOA!

[taking second look]

I gotta stop skimming when I'm in your comments section, Susie.

It's like I told my friend as we exited the movie, Jake Unpronouncable has great eyes, but it didn't make me want to renounce my car or hug a tree.

LOL *cough*

I'm thinking I now see why I consider the audio quality to be one of the most important aspects of a movie-going experience :P

Thanks, I think I'll pass on this one too.
