What's New York got that Chicago doesn't?

Those of you who know me pretty well are aware of my issues with Hollywood's lack of destroying Chicago. (was that even a coherent sentence?)

Anyway... time and time again the big budget special effects movies tend to focus their special effects magic on New York and Los Angles, while leaving Chicago to the imagination.

In ID4 we witnessed aliens attacking NY, LA & DC while only a passing mention that Chicago got destroyed too.
In Armageddon they spent a shitload of money on the special effects destroying Manhattan with asteroid fragments.
In Deep Impact we got to see what happens when a 1000+ foot wave crashes against Manhattan.
Godzilla wreaked havoc in the streets of Manhattan eventually laying eggs in Madison Square Garden.

The list could go on and on if I spent the time looking for more!

Well... in typical Hollywood fashion... All hell's gonna break loose in New York when Fox's upcoming "The Day After Tomorrow" hit theaters in Summer 2004. http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/dayaftertomorrow/ Check it out.... it looks be to be next summer's mega-hit.

If a city needs to be destroyed by a horrible catastrophe, New York is apparently what the main stream public wants to see destroyed. Why? What's wrong with Chicago? You'd think that after destroying New York a dozen or more times on the big screen that they'd decide to move on to other major cities!

My advice... DESTROY CHICAGO!
