The Furious Spinner

Looks like Miramax has bought back the rights from Disney for Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11. We should see it in the theaters this summer. Yeah!

Speaking of films, we went to see The Day After Tomorrow. The right has declared this movie garbage and is telling people not to go see it. The left has said it's Hollywood hokum but see it because the administration doesn't want you to see it. OK, I saw it. I can't imagine why anyone would care one way or another. Yes, it's about global warming, but it's not really about global warming. Some of the science is wrong from the beginning. They say global warming won't have an impact for 100 years. It's having an impact right now. The movie was fun—kind of like watching those old seventies disaster movies. I told Mario when it was over that the only part I didn't believe was when the Cheney-like guy changed his ways in the end and became a good guy. But I was kidding. I didn't really believe any of it, but it was enjoyable anyway. In real life, global warming is happening right now. Anyone who has spent any time outdoors in the last twenty years knows that something is happening with the climate. The good thing about the film is that is does say global warming is happening now, and perhaps it'll get people talking and doing something about the problem. Stranger things have happened.

I'm in the home stretch of the first draft of my novel, so I need to get back. Mario found this site with photos of the most amazing ice sculptures. Enjoy! 0 comments
