* I've been thinking about disaster movies in preparation for the WorldCon panel "It's a Disaster!" Here's the description: Disaster movies reflect their times. From nuclear war to terrorism to eco-catastrophe, what do these movies tell us about ourselves? Do they help us deal with our fears or just make things worse? (I've found some useful lists of disaster movies here and here, among other places.)
Please let me know what you think in my Disaster Movies Poll! (More than one answer per question is welcome, as are additional comments.) Thanks!
