2012

[bigbend1812]

Just saw the extended preview yesterday and it looks GAWD AWFUL. Who directed this ****?

 

[MilkmanDan]

Roland Emmerich, who also brought you The Day After Tomorrow and Universal Soldier.

 

[SunBurntOrange]

Awful or not, it would be cool to see at the IMAX.

My wife and I saw the trailer last night. We sat there with our mouths open, not sure if it was a joke or not.

I can't believe John Cusack agreed to be in this type of movie.

There isn't much in movies that bothers me more than the "escape just as the fire/building/alien/whatever is about to kill you" scene. This movie appears to have little else.

And, for the life of me, I can't figure out a couple things about the trailer. The earth appears to be crashing all around them. Where exactly is it going? Is the earth hollow? Second, why is the plane that they are escaping on below ground level? Don't plane elevate? This plane is in danger of being crushed by the ground that is falling into the hollow earth.

Just stupid. Almost makes me want to see it at the Alamo.

Just 100 years away from the greatest year of all...

2112

I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise
With hungry mind and open eyes

Some people are making far too much of this 2012 apocalyptic prophecy. Even if it comes to pass and this planet ceases to exist, we will always be here now like perpetual lotus blossoms in a never ending stream.

Couldn't believe someone will actually see this. I'm kind of hoping the Mayans have it right, if for no other reason that all the people who think they're right now, would be proven wrong!

 

[ACuriae]

I, for one, would hope that the world doesn't end in 2012. Besides, it seems like most scholars tend to agree that the Mayans weren't prophesying an end of days, but merely the turnover in their calendar.

 

[ProdigalHorn]

I can see the Mayans sitting around their calendar as they were putting it together and saying "hey... you know what would REALLY freak people out?"

The plus side I guess is that apparently global warming WON'T destroy the world. Or will it? I haven't heard of global implosion being caused by man-made pollutants, but then I haven't read up on it.

 

[ACuriae]

I think it's supposed to be California literally falling into the Pacific Ocean, isn't it?

Man...how ridiculous does that sound?

 

[7 Iron]

Is this one of those preachy global warming movies? Geez, enough already. I never litter, I turn off lights when I leave a room and I recycle. Surely that is enough to keep California from falling into the Pacific.

The last good John Cusack was in was "The Journey of Natty Gann" - he ought to consider doing a sequel to that. I always wanted to know what happened to him and that wolf.

 

[OrngNugz]

The best prediction the Maya made was the galactic alignment which occurs 2012. That is badass.
