Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Steve Hayward writes in the cornerThe Day After Tomorrow is to serious climate science what Hogan?s Heroes was to serious depiction of prison camp life in World War II. I'm told that someone I know greatly enjoyed "Troy", fully concious of its ... textual infidelities. And I've long maintained that, while the movie Jurassic Park was not the book Jurassic Park, they were both worth my time, each inclined more toward what its medium can do well — the book toward intellectual and character depth, and the movie toward vistas and big, loud, scary things.I don't know whether the movie will be any good — it doesn't look like my thing — but I wouldn't say a lack of realism makes it automatically a bad movie. (It does make anyone who touts it realism automatically wrong, of course, and it may make it dangerous to anyone who implicitly assumes its realism.)
