$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'T')he Day After Tomorrow was a disaster movie all right. As a movie it was one of the greatest disasters I've ever seen. Special effects can not save a poor script.


I liked that movie. It was enjoyable for the first half of it at least.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Yavicleus', '
')Any suggestions? Comments?


Sounds interesting so far, how about some characters who still cling on to some of the crap that was important to them in the past eg. A woman who is willing to swap food for lipstick even though she is half starved, or a man who washes his car once a week even though it hasn't moved for a year or two.

Good luck (I'll buy a copy if you get published)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Phil', 'N')o, Ludi, it's not an original idea. That might be because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that overpopulation of not just humans, but dumb humans, is the root cause of most of the world's ills.

Where people like Hitler have erred was in their methodology (and ideology) for deciding who was slaughtered. I would use much more enlightened and thoughtful criteria to ensure only undesirable genetic stock (about 90% of the population) are destroyed. Intelligence would be the most important consideration.

From my vantage, it's either my way or crash and burn for planet Earth.


Well said !!!! :)

I have to admit there is a certain charm to Phil's notions and what he would do if everybody made him Head Eugenics Honcho For Life. All the kids would stay up late everynight studying IQ tests and how do look good when taking them because they would know that if they screw up its off to the Thermal Depoly Units. For your script you could have Depoly Agents (DA's) riding into town on a donkey with a briefcase full of IQ tests and a special stash of No. 2 lead pencils. (This could be accompanied with Hitchcock-like string music from Psycho - fantasies of being stabbed by a No. 2 lead pencil) Edward Norton might be a good choice to play the Depoly Agent.
