I saw The Day After Tomorrow with my 13-year old son. It is one of those movies that is so cheesy that, if you are in the right mood, can be a lot of fun. My favorite line was when Dennis Quaid’s son and others are trying to survive the coming ice age in the New York City Public Library. They need to burn books in the fireplace to generate heat and start quarreling over which books to torch. One character wants to preserve Nietzsche. Another wants to preserve the Gutenberg Bible. But all agree that the tax law books are a good beginning for the bonfire!
