Please don't tell me that's the premise behind that move ... (I've not 
seen it, I'm not sure I have any desire to see it ...)

OK, we won't.   Yellowstone is just the first of many disasters.  It was a 
bunch of decent special effects piled on top of a lame and obvious plot.

"Volcano" was kind of refreshing. There weren't any selfish bad-guys trying 
to take advantage of the disaster at the expense of others.

It amused me when I saw the trailer for The Day After Tomorrow:

"Contains scenes of extended peril."

Um, no, it does not *contain* scenes of peril, it *is* scenes of peril!!
