The Day After

SCI-FI reran The Day After tonight. I forgot how stupid it was. Especially the scene where Jason Robards is driving towards town on the interstate and he's the only one headed that way. He sees a flood of cars headed out of town and it's a traffic jam. Come on. In that situation nobody decides to go the wrong way on the other side of the interstate ? That's why I'll survive a nuclear war, I'll drive the wrong way on the freeway when no one else does. Well, the Russians didn't bomb us thanks to Reagan. Iran ? Well... we'll see what the Israelis do for us... Seems like we're content to leave it to them to protect us.
Still... it's better than The Day After Tomorrow... not as good as Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow.

Jodie Foster Defames Air Marshals, Flight Attendants

Debbie chlussel draws attention to yet another exercise in Hollywood dhimmitude:
an airplane-terror flick in which the terrorists are not the Muslims who are on the plane, but an air marshal and a flight attendant. Yes, this is what we have seen all over the world: crazed stewardesses storming cockpits and hijacking airplanes, demanding a respite from slinging chintzy pretzel packs at the sardine-packed passengers.

If you want to sicken yourself and see "Flight Plan," stop reading here. But if you want to save ten bucks, keep going.
