WooHoo!

 

be nice if they released an extended version of Day After Tomorrow, a bunch of
scenes were cut just before release and some of the actors actaully made the
end credits without being in the final cut "Security Guard at Statue
of Liberty" and Zach and Aaron, two surfers caught in the Hurricanne in Hawaii,
there was also a scene with the President getting trapped in the snow storm,
Hurricanne hunters trapped in the eye of the storm, Library scene is longer and
fleshes out the few who stay, a subplot of the Wall street guys who get trapped
on the city bus
