#1 Gee. It's an old oil field? Probably not too far from the La Brea tar pits? Shifting tectonic plates or global warming? Inquiring minds want to know!

#2 Eerily like the plot of the movie "Volcano", which is *not* the worst volcano movie of all time.

That honor goes to the movie "Dante's Peak", for the scene in which Pierce Brosnan is escaping by driving the family pickup with the family in it over a river of lava and, with four burning tires, they see the family dog, Scruffy, trapped on an island in the middle of the river of lava, and shout to him:

"Jump! Scruffy! Jump!"

A scene so bad that it was known to have caused hundreds of spontaneous nosebleeds in the hundreds of people who actually went and saw the movie in the theater.

#6 Next thing you know, ol' Jeb's a millionaire,
Kinfold said, "Jeb, move away from there!"
Said, "California's the place you oughta be"
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimming Pools. Movie Stars ...

#8 Eerily like the plot of the movie "Volcano"...

Just what I was thinking! "MacArthur Park is melting in the dark!"

...which is *not* the worst volcano movie of all time. That honor goes to the movie "Dante's Peak"...

Dante's Peak may well be buried under twenty feet of ash by the upcoming Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York. A Sci Fi Channel (un)original, I think. We saw previews for it the other day and couldn't stop laughing.
