Oh, right... I almost forgot.

McDonalds is bad for you - and NEW YORK WILL UNDERGO A NEW ICE AGE. It's docu - truth weekend.

First of all... I'm never going to walk the streets of New York again without knowing exactly how far I am from the Public Library. If that wall of water comes - I'll be able to scramble up those steps and SURVIVE! (Who said the internet makes books obsolete?)

This is one of those weird movie moments where our desperate need for a summer movie might have saved this film.

I saw it at a multiplex way upstate. And trust me - MoveOn.org wasn't handing out flyers. This crowd was coming for a rollercoaster ride. The kind that only a true 'disaster' movie can provide.

I schooled my son in the art form. "the Poseidon Adventure" "The Towering Inferno" "Earthquake" ... a genre of fine b movie art. But this would not be a lesson in that craft.

Because this was a film with a message. Make that a MESSAGE. Ok, really it was a MEEESSSSAGGGGEEE!!!!! We're killing the planet. And, btw - the homeless are just like you and me, interracial marriage is cool, dad's need to pay more attention to their young sons, the President is being bamboozled by his Veep, and a bunch more politically correct storylines that I couldn't keep track of.

I get the concept of wrapping important info in entertainment. Michael Moore take a bow. But in this film, the message gets lost in the pure fog of silly science, bad science, no facts, and just plain head scratching weirdness.

How does a Wendy's flame broiled burger save your life? You'll have to spend 9$ to find out. I'm not going to ruin it.

So - back to my basic point. Supersize Me? Yes. Fun, entertaining docu can teach us stuff while being engaging. Roland Emerich GAZILLION DOLLAR blockbuster -and environmental agenda setter - Nope. The less from The Day After Tomorrow was... hmm, don't ignore global warming. Ok. Sold. But the snow shoe treck from Philadelphia to NY to save the son... no way. The cell phone working. We learned that after 9/11. The super cooled air kept away by the library door. Ok, I'm munching on popcorn so I'll take a zero... but don't expect this to be a staple in science classes for years to come.
