Tommy Lee Jones
Remington 2022-02-12 08:02:01
A formal disaster film. This time it was the creation volcano that brought catastrophe to mankind. When the power of nature erupts, the insignificance of mankind is beyond doubt. And a capable and responsible civil servant, a father who loves his children is strong enough. Human beings use their wisdom to protect themselves. But remember, in the eyes of nature, it may just be an unremarkable cleverness. It is no exaggeration to describe Tommy Lee Jones as Old Ermijian. He has been a half old man since I first fell in love with movies. When "Space Cowboy" was released, he became a real old man.

Kevin: Yo man, my street's on fire you gotta get some trucks down there.
L.A. Fire Chief: What Street?
Kevin: What Street? You know the one with the smoke coming out of it, Stanley right over there.
L.A. Fire Chief: We'll get to you as soon as we get this under control.
Kevin: But, there won't be any houses left by then man.
L.A. Fire Chief: Look, I'm sorry. We'll get to you as soon...
Kevin: [grabbing the fire chief's arm] Yo! I'm talking about people's houses, and you're over here saving museums.
L.A. Fire Chief: You wanna get this guy off me.
Terry Jasper: Hey.
Kevin: Oh great. Mark Fuhrman.
Terry Jasper: Gimme your hands.
[grabs Bud's hands and cuffs him]
Kevin: Yo! Get your goddamn hands off me man.
Bud McVie: What's going on?
Terry Jasper: He was harassing a fire fighter.
Kevin: Bullshit. I was asking that guy for help.
Bud McVie: This is stupid. Let him go.
Terry Jasper: I'm taking him in.
Bud McVie: All right he's all yours.
Kevin: Shouldn't you be saving lives?
Terry Jasper: Don't move!

Amy: Roark, Roark. There's lava in the red line. This just came through on the radio. The lava had overtaken a subway train in MacArthur park and completely destroyed it.
Roark: Is it still flowing?
Amy: It stopped. But there's more under us. There's has to be something feeding this. We know that the lava broke through here at the tar pits and created this vent, and we know that it broke through at MacArthur park, so that means it is traveling laterally underground over a course of at least eight miles.
Roark: Yesterday, you said it would flow straight up.
Amy: I've never tracked lava under a city before. I don't know what it will do with man-made tunnels to travel through.
Roark: I doesn't matter. I have to deal what's in front of me right now. I don't have time to read a filer on geological theory.
Amy: Well, somebody has to.
Roark: I can only fight what I can see.
Amy: Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and check it out.
