#5 Just looked at the article - The Day After Tomorrow?!!!! This guy wasn't just drunk, he was drunk and stupid.

#6 He told deputies that after watching "The Day After Tomorrow," a special-effects extravaganza depicting deadly natural disasters caused by global warming, and drinking nine or 10 beers, he decided to set fire to pillows on his bed.

And just think: he'll be voting for Kerry, too. Fucking idiot...

#7 Dave - I think you've identified why he felt he had nothing to live for.

#9 I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention, but ISTR that the movie was kind of a dud? From the trailers I've seen (very frequently on the Weather Channel, which likes to talk about "global warming") it looked about as scientifically serious as a Godzilla flick.

If the political ignorance of Hollywood types is disgusting, their scientific ignorance is downright horrifying.

#16 Day after Tommorow? Lol. A 2nd rate movie. By the way why were they burning books in the library instead of busting up the furniture?? I also thought the temperature drop at "10 degress a second" !! was pretty lame. Lets see in 40 seconds we are at absolute zero!! Also the question back to the Prez saying if he had done something sooner, like global warming or whatever occurs over night. Well enough dissecting of a somewhat fact flawed action movie. Why anyone would get depressed looking at this movie is beyond me. I'm going out now and burn some hydro carbons.

#17 The only person who might have been depressed enough to burn down his own house after seeing that bomb would have been Dennis Quaid's agent. I either forgot or didn't realize what a rotten actor he is.
