I loved Twister. "COW!" "Another cow!" "I think that's the same cow..." Yessss!!! Loved Twister! I don't know how Twister ends. The theater had a malfunction about 20 min from the end and I never got around to see the end

Omg, me too. The trope-ier the better 😆 Scientist who no one believes except one politician of the opposite sex, scientist turns out to be right, disaster happens, scientist + politician must rescue politicians' family members who stayed thisclose to the disaster area, day is saved, scientist + politician get together, doubting politicians are either killed in disaster or properly shamed. 👍 see also: Outbreak! might be a bit too close to home these days tho. Yeah I have no desire to watch that anytime soon.

You all learned something about me this week: disaster movies are my jam. The dumber the better. But if two like ones come out at the same time, I need slightly more realism. But only slightly. Sorry about your lack of hills, blurnette989. Omg, me too. The trope-ier the better 😆 Scientist who no one believes except one politician of the opposite sex, scientist turns out to be right, disaster happens, scientist + politician must rescue politicians' family members who stayed thisclose to the disaster area, day is saved, scientist + politician get together, doubting politicians are either killed in disaster or properly shamed. 👍 There’s one about a mega earthquake in SF that follows this trope if I remember correctly. I think it’s called EARTHQUAKE and it would come on cable sometimes, H and I would laugh heartily for awhile, then turn it off. Idk how it ends 😂

Disaster movies are not my thing but I do like a light political/corporate thriller (Pelican Brief; Patriot Games; Enemy of the State; Bridge of Spies; State of Play; Ides of March, etc.) ETA: I almost forgot AIRFORCE ONE! And basically all of the Jack Ryan movies with Harrison Ford. And I'll expand that to include a light political romance, like the American President. I WANT THE TRUTH! YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH! Loooooved clear and present danger

FFTC, when I saw State of Play in the theater, I got all choked up when the presses started rolling to CCR at the end. Right in the First Amendment feels.

Twister, Armageddon, and Dante's Peak. Younger Enchanted was enthralled with those three. Those three are great, but I’m partial to The Core and Deep Blue Sea. Give me all the ridiculous disaster movies! I hate the core. The geology is sooooo bad. It is however, a great movie to get drunk too. We used to do bad geo movie nights in college in the geo department. We'd set up couches in one of the labs (they were from the building, so not that far to move) and drink any time they got the science wrong.

Is Dante’s Peak the one with Pierce Brosnan? The scene when the grandma sacrificed herself by getting out of the boat and pushing it through the scalding water scarred me. Big nope to volcanoes after that.

Hope no one has plans to fly in on out of SFO soon. Multiple strikes happening at once including an open ended strike of the food service union. I support all of it but it must be making the airport more of a disaster than normal.

I'm still thinking about this and laughing. My brother was hospitalized there in 2010, and I'd never done any kind of city driving before we spent a couple days going back and forth. But I learned quickly. I guess it was a good primer for moving to northern VA later that year. But yeah. It's in the city. Movie people smh Watching the movie, all I can think is "there's literally only one tree on campus". WHY IS IT IN A FOREST? I will never understand it, lol. i read this and exchange to MH and he was like and yeah that was one tree is def a new edition, prova sponsored by Phillip Morris or altria or whatever

DS says there was a walkout at his school today. Apparently the teachers were very supportive. Not surprised at all but definitely relieved that his school is a safe space for everyone.

Give me all the ridiculous disaster movies! Omg you are the first person besides me to ever respond the core. I fucking LOVE IT. And everyone teases me mercilessly
