My Most Annoying Movie-Watching Experience Ever



For some reason, Gabe decided I needed to be reminded of the most annoying moment in the most annoying film ever, 'The Day After Tomorrow'. In this scab on the body cinema, two LA tornadoes collide and merge (at point 3:37 in this YouTube clip).

Did the moviemakers spend five minutes consulting a meteorologist before spending a fortune on computer graphics for this scene? Do cinematographers understand that whirlwinds of any sort in close proximity to each other will dance around each other first in whirling circles prior to merging? No, of course not! Hello! Anyone in Hollywood interested in the science of weather? Are you kidding?

Now I'm mad. I feel like yelling at random strangers about vorticity....
