A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I missed that ep of Angel--I remember Roy Dotrice most as Wolfgang's dad in Amadeus.
ETA: Tommyrot, Day After is pretty standard TV-apocalyptic-movie fare, just amped up by the idea of the A-bomb. For better end-of-the-world TV stuff, I'd rent the BBC's Threads, which scared the living crap out of me when I saw it.
How much does The Day After suck, and is it a good suck or a bad suck?
Scared the crap out of me when I snuck behind the sofa to watch it as a kid, but I was already living in fear of nuclear war.
I think you're thinking of The Morning After, which I found scary too.
TDA is about the rapid iceage disaster thingie....
TDA is about the rapid iceage disaster thingie....
No, TDA is the TV movie about nukes.
The Day After Tomorrow is the silly ice movie.
(I just IMDb checked because I couldn't remember the name of the ice movie.)
The Day After is A-bomb TV movie, The Day After Tomorrow is ecological disaster film, which was pretty bad, except for a brief appearance by Ian Holm, who gave his usual good performance.
Oh fuck, TDAT is making me laugh outloud....
edited like an edited thing....
Oh duh. Apparantly I can't read the DVD case in front of me....
edit: Killer frost! Yay!
Oh tommyrot, I saw Day After Tomorrow in the theater and LAUGHED MY FOOL HEAD OFF.
I don't think this was what the filmmakers intended me to do, but I enjoyed the movie. Just maybe not the way they intended.
Yep. Pretty consistently funny....
