They had a rule if you appeared in episode 3 you couldn't work that show again until episode 7. I was in 8 episodes of Grey's Anatomy over 2 seasons. Plus 29 other shows, a tv commercial, a music video and a movie. We did one scene during the movie for a high school graduation. So, they hired a 100 extra's and we filmed all day in different sections of the bleachers. Just moving to different rows so it wouldn't look uniform. 14 hours of filming and sitting in bleachers for about 20 seconds of screen time. LOL

      I think DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a bad title for this film - while it's explained in the story, it's not really a core issue. Every time I hear the title now, I have to continually think of what film is using it. "2012" is immediately defined as That One Film.

      As with 2012 and most movies Emmrich directs - if you don't turn your brain off and accept bad (really bad) science and so-so acting ahead of time you are going to have a bad time with his movies. You go for the destruction and spectacle he gives you. Even Moonfall as bad as it was, had some amazing set pieces in it (even if the story was bat shit insane lol).

      If you know anything about the film, the fact that it was filmed predominantly in Thailand, used a significant number of local people to both star in, and work on the film, and brought a significant amount of money to the local businesses and people, you wouldn't have such a negative view.
      I'll leave the last word to someone that was actually there during the Tsunami, these are his words: "Had this film been purely about the tale of a western middle class family's 'ruined' holiday then I would have agreed (with being critical of the film). For me, it was the exact opposite. Rather than concentrating on the 'privileged white visitors', the film portrayed the profound sense of community and unity that I experienced in Thailand, with this family at the centre of it. It was the Thai people who waded through the settled water after the first wave had struck to help individuals and families... The Thai people had just lost everything - homes, businesses, families - yet their instinct was to help the tourists."

It is a true story in many ways and to limit your representation to not include well off and insured people is unreal. The final scene is a nod to how the real family felt about being rescued by their huge insurance policy. There where so many others that needed that as well. In the midst of crisis everyone where the same though. That is real and maybe that should teach us something.

    • @Y_.R
      @Y_.R 5 місяців тому +3

      @@Ahzpayne It’s important to know how the film was made. It was filmed on location in Thailand. A large number of people in the film were survivors of the tsunami. They filmed in the real hospital. Many of the medical staff in the hospital are the real doctors and nurses who were working there through the aftermath. One of the nurses attending to Maria in the film is one of the actual nurses that worked on her. The doctor who operated on her came up and thanked the director for making the movie. The people in the bus station with Henry were real survivors. They rebuilt the entire hotel exactly as it was for the film.
      I get the criticism of the film centering on a tourist family, but it does a very good job of showing the Thai people working to save everyone they could. And though it shouldn’t be the case, the movie would never have gotten bodies in the seats of the movie theaters if it had focused exclusively on the local population. In fact, the real family was Spanish, but they changed them to British and did the movie in English for that reason. The producers, director, writer, editor and others making the film were Spanish. But it’s important that so many people learned about what happened by seeing the film.
      And in terms of focusing on those who suffered the most, it wasn’t just Thailand. 230,000 people in 13 countries were killed by the tsunami. It was horrific for every single one of them and there are powerful stories for all of them. Indonesia had 20 times more deaths than Thailand. That doesn’t mean that every movie about the tsunami has to be about Indonesia.
      This film is one of the most accurate stories put on film. The details that were changed were largely done because they were too brutal or overwhelming to put in a movie. For example, the tsunami stripped them of all of their clothing. So the actors would have had to be naked for a significant portion of the film.
      In the end, it’s an amazing movie with incredible acting telling a heart-wrenching true story. You don’t have to watch it. But you may be missing something incredible for an oversimplified reason.

      Yup. But you could have a temporary cooling effect, if the transatlantic current is disrupted.
      (but I think ultimately it would warm up again as the trend of global warming continues.)
      Regardless we definitely need to continue to adopt zero emission tech so that we sidestep the worst of it. SOME global warming effect is unavoidable at this point and is in fact already happening. But we still need to press on, as little pollution as possible, while maintaining the same standard of living. 🙂

    So the first thing Jake does is tear down the curtains, curtains that will retain heat. They then decide to burn books, OK, excellent. UMM, what are those books sat on? Shelves you say, shelves made out of what looks to be some very excellent hard wood, which would certainly provide way more BTUs than your average copy of the tax code. They should have arranged the couches around the fire and used the books to build a heat reflector behind them and burnt the shelving and the furniture and been warm and toasty.

    Regarding the burning of the books, it's actually one of the dumbest parts of the movie. There's a great deal of furniture in the library that would burn hotter, longer, and easier than the books. You can say that they ignored science in the name of making a movie about freezing half the world, but any Boy Scout could tell you that you don't make a fire out of paper when there's all that wood around you.

    A bit of an underrated disaster movie, I've seen it a number of times, so glad you reacted to it.
    If you want another (a bit) underrated disaster movie suggestion, try 'Volcano' from 1997. It's one of my favorites.

    The thing about the science this film's disaster is based around is that it's very solid in its base concept: Ocean water becoming desalinated because of melting arctic freshwater ice having a detrimental effect on the ocean currents that are the secondary driving force behind planetary weather and a primary reason why far north locations such as British Columbia have warmer climates along their coasts. The time scale is wildly off, being a much slower and more gradual process and not the 'a switch was flipped so we have two weeks to live' sort of deal used in the film. The massive temperature drops the Brits in their monitoring station noted aren't the sort of thing that can happen over anything less than a century or so of constant heat loss.

    It's a decent watch if you keep it in perspective. While technically the premise might be possible, it's highly unlikely. Nice to see your level headed about these things. 2012 is kind of the same kind of movie and an interesting watch. Some other disaster movies I think you would like are "Earthquake 1974". Very interesting, good cast and a much more likely scenario. "Dante's Peak" with Pierce Brosnan and "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones.

    The premise of this movie is outrageous, but it is very engaging story telling. Also, the science plot hole is kind of sort of covered early in the movie with Jack explaining that the worst is generations away, then months, then weeks, then days, with total shock that it can happen this fast. No climatologist thinks it can happen like this, but for a disaster movie, sometimes you have to go for the impossible disaster.

  • @dr.algernonbenway1542

    The most terrifying thing about this movie is that the science is 100% accurate. Although unlikely, the speed at which it happens in the story COULD be accurate. We dont actually know how fast the initial process is. Remember, we've found mammoths that were flash-frozen with temperate vegetation still in their mouths!

Bearable cold if you're inside and that the furnace is working. With the incentive to move into converting&using a heat pump, not sure how a heat pump will work at those very low temperatures. That Nova Scotia tide rising to 26 feet sounds normal to the Bay of Fundy.
    Also if you're going to watch 2012, don't forget to watch the director's cut/deleted scenes/alternate ending for it as it makes a big difference in how the story turned out.

  • @Daveyboy100880
    @Daveyboy100880 5 місяців тому +1

    Even though it’s an Emmerich disaster movie and therefore, shall we say, a tad heightened in places, I like that the movie still manages to feel kind of grounded. It at least tries to stay sober about the subject matter, there aren’t really any caricatured characters, the melodrama is pretty restrained and there are no world-saving heroics. Of course, Emmerich couldn’t resist throwing in his favourite trope of the man reconnecting with his estranged son and ex-wife via a heroic response to disaster. He uses that one a lot!
    Fun fact 1: when Jake Gyllenhall and co. are running back from the ship, originally the wolves were chasing them back into the library as well as the super freeze. It was only decided very late in the game to have the wolves stay trapped in the ship. This is why when they make it back, Gyllenhall is yelling to shut the door, and they’re all looking worried at the door. The wolves were supposed to be right outside, trying to break in, and we heard them getting frozen.
    Fun fact 2: one example of things being “heightened” is that when the VFX team were running the fluid simulation of the big wave that washed through Manhattan, they found that it would completely engulf the library. They had to cheat the height of the library building so the water would wash around but not over it. Other than that, though, the science is bulletproof, honest!

    Awesome reaction as always, Jen! I remember watching this movie with my family after renting it from Blockbuster not long after it first came out which means I must have been about 11 years old, and watching it back now I was surprised to see so many recognizable actors that just weren't on my wee lad radar at the time. Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ian Holm, Kenneth Welsh (who gave a great villain performance as Windom Earle in Twin Peaks), even Emmy Rossum who I got familiarized with just a year or so later when my sixth grade class did Phantom of the Opera as the school play.

    To answer your question about the freezing point of fuel. It's mostly Kerosene, which leads to roughly -50C. The roughly part means that there's other stuff in there which can offset that somewhat, both up and down. So, cold, damned cold.

    2012 was a fun movie to watch. I also remember enjoying Dante's Peak (1997) with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton; it was generally based off of what happened when Mount St. Helen erupted in the US back at the beginning of the 80's.
    Another disaster movie that's always haunted me is Earthquake (1974), perhaps because I was so young when I saw it. I saw a rerun of it on TV when I was 5 or 6, and I just remember it being really scary (probably isn't these days, but I was little, lol). Not sure why I've never rewatched it, but if you want to react to it, I'll watch it with you! *peeks out from behind covers* 🙈😶‍🌫🙃

    This is a great movie. Lots of fun to watch, a solid adventure. It did pretty well when it came out, well enough that South Park spoofed it in one of their episodes at the time. Ironically, it's one of the only episodes that Matt and Trey admit didn't age too well, in hindsight. Which is saying a lot, coming from the kings of being anything but PC.

Scientifically speaking, this movie does have a lot of problems, but it is a fun, action-packed movie. Did you recognize Sela Ward, who played the wife as the wife of Harrison Ford in The Fugitive?
    For another good disaster movie, you should check out Volcano (1997), with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche.

    Jen, have to seen the 1983 movie “The Day After?” It has Jason Robards, JoBeth Williams, John Lithgow, and Steve Guttenburg. It was a made for TV movie that scared the crap out of us 80’s kids, and pretty much anyone who watched it. It’s about people trying to survive a full scale nuclear war, and it’s disturbing to say the least. Our schools went back to nuke drills after it came out, just to remind us that we could still die in a nuclear war at any moment. It was the American nuclear war wake up movie like “Threads 84’” was for the Brits.
