Do you believe in the Mayan calendar? Do you believe the world will end on December 21, 2012?
Well the latest disaster pic is upon us or will be in the theaters on November 13th.
Also another trailer at YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz86TsGx3fc
Awesome computer graphics.
Yes, cannibals do have recipes and most rather simple.
Especially meat, always served rare.
I thought it was just that 2012 is when the calendar guy got tired of writing dates.
I don’t want you to tell me if the Earth comes to an end in the movie but tell me this: will there be a sequel?
If the Earth is coming to an end where do they think they are going?......
Exactly, that is what I said. The must be rushing to a space shuttle or something.
The must = They must
Screenplay: CGI shot of something blowing up -- Cusack reacts to green screen -- CGI shot of something blowing up -- Cusack reacts to green screen etc. x 3 hours. Result: OSCARS® all around, plus zillions of bucks.
Still, it's going to be a great popcorn flick. Luckily, I know a manager at a local movie theater who grants me a special "friend of employee" discount!

One day to cannibals were eating a clown. One cannibal turned to the other and said, “Does this meat taste funny to you?” Ba Dumm Tssssssshhh
‘Knowing’ was awesome. Usually don’t like Nick Cage flicks, but Knowing was worth it.
The trailer was so over-the-top rediculous, it made me think that either they can’t possibly actually put that in the movie, or the movie is a complete joke.
IN the trailer I saw, they get in a car and the earth is collapsing under them for dozens of miles but always just after they drive by, and then they get to the airport and the runway collapses just as they take off, and then for some stupid reason they fly so low they have ot keep ducking under buildings that are falling.
Oh, and the buildings are tipping over, as if they are trees. Two buildings fall in opposite directions, hit each other, and instead of breaking apart, they look like swords in a swordfight.
Anyway, if it was meant to be a spoof of disaster movies, it couldn’t have been any funnier.
Its a modulus math thing. When the cycle completes, the next one begins....like a new hour, a new day or a new year.
Boooo, hissssss...
Hey aren'tchu from a neighboring planet bullied by those racist SOBs from the Enterprise?
Trust me, I feel your pain. LOL
Ah Jeez, to = two(2).
What a nit wit.
In Armageddon type movies from years past the Earth was always saved at the last minute. These days the earth usually gets destroyed. The optimism of the past being replaced by pessimism.
Yup. Triskellion. Home of the Gamesters.
Standard Roland Emmerich...remember the scene in Independence Day where Air Force One takes off and barely stays ahead of the Washington fireball?
It’s so hypersilly, it’s looks like a great cheesefest. I’ll watch it at the matinee for an afternoon of mind numbing explosions.
Nope and Nope. This is no different than the world was going to end because of Y2K nonsense. It seems like about every 10 years or so we have to have a end of the world conspiracy.
As for the Mayan calendar, there is no evidence that the Mayans put any special emphasis on 2012. Yes it was the end of a cycle, but like our calender going from 1999 to 2000 it had no special meaning to them, in fact the Mayans believed the world would exist for something like 90 billion years. There was a good show on a few months back debunking the Mayan hoax, i forget what it's called. But you can find some of the same information on wikipedia and skeptics.com.
Many disaster moves over the years.
We start with Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’, ‘The Towering Inferno’, ‘The Posiden Adventure’.
Then, ‘Volcano’, ‘Dante’s Peak’ and ‘The Core’.
More recent, ‘Deep Impact’, ‘Independence Day’ and ‘The Day After Tomorrow’.
All chose a different ways to be done in! All entertainment to be sure.
That would make them more realistic.
You can be the biggest optimist in the world, in reality, the truth is, earth does not survive in the future.
The sun too has a life span, if we don't kill each other off prior to the that, but the earth will not survive.
“‘Knowing’ was awesome. Usually don’t like Nick Cage flicks, but Knowing was worth it.”
Knowing made no sense to me. If the angels/aliens wanted to save a few people, why go through the trouble of having a kid write down all future disasters fifty years ago. Its not like that info could prevent what happened. If they wanted to warn us they could have done so much more effectively. “HEY A-HOLES, YOUR PLANET IS TOAST ON DATE X!”
