BIGGEST GODZILLA NERD HERE!-Monster Island Hall Of Famer

I have decided to go back to the roots of this project and well, in this rough draft of a paper I am writing just flaming THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW(2004), the Houston Country Board of Education IS ABOUT TO GET THEIR ASSES WHOOPED. As you can tell I am very passionate about this. ========================================== It is now a well known fact that the film The Day After Tomorrow is at least in the Houston County Board System to be thought of as having "scientific value". Originally, I noticed that innacuracy and I tried to get the film - which is highly ridiculed by college professors and critics alike - replaced by the film Gojira (Godzilla, 1954), which is a film which both professors and critics love. But I am not going to make this another paper for "Operation Gojira" (though if one wants to monitor my efforts, this paper is to be mentioned), rather a paper just dismissing the film "The Day After Tomorrow altogether since it is an abomination. First, I would like to mention all of the scientists and college professors who did not seem to be content with the film and just said a thing or two on the film. Here is a couple of quotes: "...a great movie with lousy science." -Environmental Activist and writer for the Guardian, George Monbiot "...propaganda. As a scientist, I bristle when lies dressed up as 'science' are used to influence political discourse." -Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, Patrick J. Michaels "...a cheap thrill ride, which many weak minded people will jump on and stay on for the rest of their lives." -former NASA Office of Inspector General, Senior Special Agent and College Instructor, Joseph Gutheinz This is an interesting demographic of people to work with on this. We got a journalist, a former NASA worker, Professor of the University of Virginia, a lot of people with years of experience in this field. I am not shocked at all at this reception of the film. I would expect nothing more from a person who dared to slander Godzilla's name in a cheap 1998 rip off. Second to mention is the noteworthy work of paleo-climatologist Dan Schrag of Harvard University. While not work, I can analyze his comments more efficiently. He said, "On the one hand, I'm glad that there's a big-budget movie about something as critical as climate chance. On the other, I'm concerned that people will see these over-the-top special effects and think the whole things is a joke... We are indeed experimenting with the Earth in a way that hasn't been done for millions of years. But you're not going to see another ice age...at least not like that." This, while not as aggressively, embodies my take on the film. This actually makes me think for such things as "how accurately did the film portray scientific fact and theory"? Even under the conditions the film shows things under, there has to be a line in which the film crossed. As NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Meteorologist Marshall Shepherd said, "I'd give it a D- or an F." Unlike my prouder work, I am not going to problem myself with this paper. I have bought up professionals with years of studying and becoming a professional in the field. I have proven my point. Go Gojira. *Edited by admin for numerous spelling errors.* Edited by packmule, Apr 14 2009, 05:53 AM.
