Did you ever think?

After all the discussion about PoP and how its just a big Hollywood blockbuster movie more about the action than the action and comments about Jake's movie choices lately. What the heck was The Day After Tomorrow? Seriously. This was no Shakespeare. It wasn't the next Citizen Kane. It was a summer blockbuster movie who's biggest star was natural disasters and special effects and had plot holes and questions you could drive a truck through.

And you know what, that's ok. Because it was made to be an action movie and blockbuster, where the "hero" gets the girl. Isn't that what Prince of Persia's suppose to be? Different time, place and setting, but it all boils down to the same.

Why is doing PoP now that different than TDAT then? Losing his indie cred? Jake popped his big Hollywood movie cherry with TDAT and was no more an indie boy.

The Brokeback factor? Before TDAT Jake had done one of the most iconic roles of his career Donnie Darko. His performance is critical and cult acclaimed. There are as many, who are as big of Darko fans as there are Brokeback fans, and with as much passion and fervor.

If you read what TDAT was about before seeing the movie, you would have been like this looks like it's gonna blow. But now ..... And without TDAT you wouldn't have.....



Now here are some of my many questions about TDAT.

Too much ash too little time
Why would you burn the books? Why not the furniture? How many chairs does the NY Public library have? Wood burns longer than paper and turns into coals and embers. What does paper burn into ? Ash. If you were burning books for a week 1) Do you have any idea how many books that would be? You would have the entire room filled with books and a book cart pile up everywhere. And where do you put that much ash? You can't keep it in the fireplace? And come none of them were ever smudgy or ashy from tending to all that fire stoking?


The Wet Spot?!?
How can you have a room that is a frozen block of ice on one wall and a roaring fire on the other, and not have a puddle somewhere? There has to been a some mixing and melting.



Pick up Artists
Knew that Jake picked up Austin when they came in through the window during deep freeze. But did any one every catch that Austin picking up Arjay?

Even Barbra would be jealous
And if you were Emmy Rossum and Sela Ward wouldn't you be pissed that Jake got the best lighting out of the whole movie. You wonder if it was Roland or the lighting guy's idea to give him one of the most romantic fireside glows ever, yes he had one with Emmy, but I'm talking about that scene with Dennis Quaid.
OMG's Season of Sharing

Go Green this season.

You can do big and little things this season. If you celebrate Christmas, look at getting a Christmas tree that could be planted in your yard or garden. Or if you get a pre cut tree, check with you local town or city to see if there is a tree recycling program. Many towns and cities will take your Christmas tree and turn it into mulch for the municipal parks and gardens in your area.

Other an environmental cause to consider:
