Remember Smokey The Bear’s dire warning that only you can prevent forest fires? Well, the movie San Andreas has an even more worrisome warning: a giant wave of CGI effects is going to destroy your state, and there’s nothing you can do about it. After demolishing its box office competition this weekend, it seems the movie has turned its attention to a new target: Seismophobics. TMZ reports that in the wake of the film’s success, sales of earthquake disaster preparedness kits are spiking—especially for the good people at EarthQuakeStore.com. (Probable company motto: “We swear you’ll need this pen knife after California falls into the ocean.”)

Saw the movie the day of it's release at the IMAX Theaters in San Jose, CA(what a city to see a film like this at, huh - LOL), and it was (I have to say) UNBELIEVELY SPECTACLAR!!!

 

If you haven't seen it yet, guys - get off your asses NOW, and go see it, and see it in 3-D as it a chilling, at the "edge of your seat" type of film, and one of the very first earthquake blockbusters to be in 3-D IMAX format.

 

Not to mention - "The Rock" is breathtaking in this film. One of his "BEST" acting jobs ever thus far.

 

You wont be disappointed - I promise!!! Seen it twice already. In San Jose, and in San Francisco, CA.

What would you include in your emergency kit?

but will the seats shake at least?

 

In some of the IMAX theatres they do have seats you pay a little extra for seats to vibrate and go up and down. Have no idea if all of them do. The IMAX theatre I was at in San Jose had that capability to make the experience of the movie intensely real.

Condoms, Lube, Canned Goods, Sledgehammer, Radio, A life-jacket, Aspirin, an Axe, and most of all... a Fire Arm. :rolleyes:.

I don't think Smokey The Bear predicted the aftermath of what occurs in this film as instead of warning about fires - he should be on the alert of warning people of fires from earthquakes as well. Might be he wont need to warn us of very much if a giant wave is going to solve a lot of the fires that'll outbreak from what the movie shows in great detail. Who needs the fire department if you have tsunamis to help put out such wildfires. :p

Hey JD, you better bring that emergency kit with you for the Monday meeting in OC. Just in case the earth moves.:)

Oh not to worry, baby - the kit is all packed and ready to go. The only thing that's missing is a life-guard, but of course I can't tuck him in the earthquake duffle bag.

 

Hmmmm.....I wonder if Steven Kesslar would fit? :rolleyes:.........Ohhhhh, Steven...........LOL.

I love your new avatar!

 

I love it, actually. I think Sir Eisenhower is giving us more of a "Playgirl" sort of appeal. What a bad-boy he's becoming. :rolleyes:. That's our, Chris. Quite the character. LOL. :p

More "Cosmo" than "Playgirl". Btw, I can't tell what that is covering his crotch, it looks like my Beatles wig from 1964.

That's what militant neighbors are for. I've already struck a deal with mine in exchange for antibiotics and sexual favors-as-currency in the New World Order.

I wonder if "Vanity Fair" Maybe interested? Hell, look with they accomplished with Bruce Jenner's new look. Oh, Sorry - Ms. Caitlyn Jenner now. :D. Maybe, Chris can be the first male spokesmodel for a "Gay" male version of "Vanity Fair". I know me and Steven would buy it. :D.

Thank you. BVB ruined the glasses one for me—like the way the homosexuals ruined the word "gay." So I had to change it to something with partial nudity.

 

Love the Boots, Sweetie. Where can I buy a pair? Might be something to consider for one of my client sessions for a "cowboy" dominate venture type of scene. ;)

It would be called "Vanity."

 

The boots came from Toronto and were a bitch to get home because I had to wear them on the plane. In coach.

Hey, just be glad I didn't include grenades in this "Special" earthquake militant kit of mine. Although, including grenades may create quite a stir getting pass certain "stopping grounds" in the city if stopped by the US Fire Marshalls, and US Army Marshalls. :rolleyes:. What a fireworks show that'll be if those suckers ever went off in some form of sexual orgy combat. ;)

More like " Gay Vanity" LOL.

 

Gee, I guess I would need a special type of suitcase to put the boots in. I can see wearing them in First Class, but sure not in coach as that's gotta be uncomfortable as hell. Of course, it'll make a great fashion statement that you have taste. Who knows, maybe a talent representative from "Gay Vanity" could be checking you, and your hot kinky style boots for the "First" Edition. You never know. :rolleyes:

Looks just out of a "playgirl" page to me.

That's what I've been telling, Chris all along. When will he ever listen to me. SIGH. :rolleyes:. Of course, his new and lavish website will also be featured in "Gay Vanity" the "Website Of The Month" section I'm sure. :p
