Disaster movies. They evoke love/hate responses from many who watch them, relying on action rather than science to move the story along. If you want to explore the science behind the action, then this class is for you. We’ll watch a series of movies, most with geological themes, over the course of the semester. More recent films like The Core and The Day After Tomorrow plus classics like Them! and Earthquake will be examined.
Well, we did it. We got through the class without destroying any property or killing someone (or ourselves). Thursday, ye shall be rewarded with great treasures, AKA pizza. As Mike said in the email, any requests for toppings, beverages, etc, are welcomed, as well as movie suggestions.
