I like reading books that I ignored, during those four years of debauchery, that I now laughingly refer to as: "my college education." Steinbeck, Hemmingway, Vonnegut, Tolstoy, Mellville, Swift, Twain, Kafka and Poe. Ayn Rand of course. Some science fiction, especially William Gibson. Right now I'm reading the Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens.
About me: Enough about me already. What about you?
Who I'd like to meet: The guy who invented the car that can run for a hundred miles on a gallon of water. Also, the woman who put her poodle in the microwave to dry it off, and the guy who bolted an army surplus rocket to the back of his pick-up truck. (Oh wait, I think I DO know him.)
Hey thanks for the prize! I love it =) The CD is now on display in my room on my "stuff that was signed by my heroes-shelf" alongside a Rudy shirt from a rally and a signed "power to the people book!" Thanks again! =)
Truths and Myths About Weather in Hollywood Blockbusters Professors View Weather-Related Movie Clips as 'Exercise in Critical Thinking'
But as the professors say, the worse the movie, the better the teaching tool. Their course includes plenty of movies with exaggerated weather events: "Twister," "Tidal Wave: No Escape" and "Volcano." Movie audiences expect Hollywood to ramp up the action by twisting fact into fiction. But what happens when Hollywood fiction is used as fact?
Al Gore's "traveling global warming show," the award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," includes a long flyover shot of majestic Antarctic ice shelves. But this shot was first seen in the 2004 blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow." Sculpted from Styrofoam and later scanned into a computer, the ice shelf "flyover" looks real.
I'm still enjoying your work. It was a trip to hear you on XM Comedy. The Liberty stuff is also pretty cool. Let me know when you're back in Metro Detroit.
