I'm watching Volcano starring Tommy Lee and Ann Heche (when she was still going out with Ellen de Generes). There is a scene where a female scientist (an associate of the geologist played by Heche) states to Tommy Lee's character that lava could be coming up from the earth. Later on, that very same scientist goes down to the tunnels and collects earth sample by straddling a fissure. Am I to believe that any geologist would be that stupid? She forwards an idea that there is lava and she will straddle a fissure? Ahh, Hollywood movies, it takes a special screwdriver to disconnect that science cord eh?

This movie also made me laugh in some parts of it. For example, at the end, after the demolition of a building, everyone is covered with dust. The little kid tells the policeman that "all the people look the same." Of course, everyone is dust-covered with gray material that makes them look like gray clay monster. But, then, miracle of miracles, a light rain begins falling in Los Angeles with the sun still shining!!!! COME ON!!! Are these writers on crack or on cocaine? Rain in LA while the sun is shining? What do you think this is, Ally McBeal???
