So terrorism does work?
I said it before and I’ll say it again....John Cusack? Really? Sheesh.
Physicist Michio Kaku was on FNC this morning. He gave the movie an A rating for special effects and an F rating for science.
Gotta be someway to cash in on this 2012 crap.
I rarely go the movies and originally thought it was a good disaster movie and was going to go see it for the entertainment factor. When I heard about the muslim theme, I changed my mind. Hollywood will not get a dime from me.
Maybe, just MAYBE, its the MUSLIM religious symbol that is causing the destruction? I mean the meteorite (the black rock that fell to the earth) that is contained in that huge black cube (that’s right, the Muzzies PRAY TO A ROCK!) is in itself, an idol. Isn’t Satan supposed to come back to battle good on Earth? What better way than to come back as a black rock that fell to earth (The 5th Element?) and get millions to pray to you. There’s your army of Satan. Well, that’s my 2 cents....
Well doug, I have my own little ‘non ticket buying fatwa’ here...(and btw, can moms, in the hinterlands of PA actually fatwa?)
No 2012 for me. Nope. Christian/Catholic symbols are okey dokey to ‘special’ effects into oblivion...but not a certain rocky thing...so oh well. College football and hockey games for me and the fam this weekend.
Absolutely no reason whatsoever to see this movie.
I saw a clip last evening and it showed an unrelenting series of near misses from cascading cataclysms as the protagonist and his family attempt to drive to the airport as the world caves in around them. It was totally laughable after the first five seconds.
Then the Vatican caved in.
After about the 10 or so preposterously harrowing escapes from death, I left the theater bored.
And besides, Danny Glover as a self-sacrificing President of The United States? I wasn't the only person to laugh at loud when (I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet). Trust me, you'll spew soda out your nostrils, too.
I must say, though, the depiction of The First Lady was most agreeable.
Ahem.
Read the whole article. It is a rich piece of scathing contempt - admirable for articulate sneers in its own right.

They don't need a plot. Screwballs like Palin, the teabaggers, Fox "News," and many evangelists have been selling the end of the world to their unstable followers. People will watch the film and then say something like this is really going to happen!

They don't need a plot. Liberal Lunatics like Al Gore, Olberman, the global warmers, msnbc "News," and many socialists have been selling the end of the world to their unstable followers. People will watch the film and then say something like this is really going to happen!
LOL! Isn't the internet a wacky and entertaining place!
so basically, what he is saying is that there is much more to fear from miltant Islam than from global warming...
I’ve never bought into the whole “cataclysmic end of the world” scenario. I just cannot imagine so many things turning so sour at exactly the same time. One at a time maybe, but not ALL of them!
That being said, there is one disaster scenario that has my attention — the end of abundant electricity. There are both man-made and natural disasters (look up “EMP” and “solar storm of 1859” respectively) that could zap our electric grid.
No electricity means no food storage or distribution and that means lots of hungry people followed by lots of dead people. Just my 2 cents ...

December 21, 2012 has been called doomsday, the day of enlightenment, and even the day the earth will turn upside down by many different culture and civilizations throughout history. Although the prediction on what is actually going to happen is vague modern day scientists know we our planet is aligning with the galactic equator. Well what does that mean and what does it have to do with humanities future? In the milky way, which is an active galaxy, our solar system moves above and below this galactic plain. As stars and planetary systems, including our own approach this galactic plain the gravitational influence increases, which disturbs the stability of the planets, including earth. The passage through the most dense portion of the gravitational plain is the direct result of the devastation cycles and pole shifts that we see recorded throughout earths history. This distinct nature of our solar system is how many ancient civilizations based there calenders, which are incredibly accurate.
Although many of us have heard or are aware of the ancient Mayan calender, a lot of us either don’t understand it or simple don’t know how it works. Well to start the ancient Mayans had a very accurate understanding of our solar system and its cycles. Their long count calender is most significant of their calenders because according to Mayanist (people who study Ancient Mayan People and culture) it ends on the specific date of December 21 2012, which coincides with modern day astronomers, who believe that is about the time that our planet alignment takes place with the galactic equator.
Modern scientists have a theory that is quite similar to the Mayan prophecies of the planets alignment. This theory is called pole shifting, in which the position of the north and south pole change, which could cause world wide disaster, massive tsunamis could wipe out coastal cities, hurricanes on every continent, it would be major catastrophe, unlikely as it seems a Princeton University study suggest the poles have shifted before and that the north pole was in the middle of the pacific, which would put Alaska at the equator.
This doomsday date has been prophisized for thousands of years by the Mayans, Zulus, Incas, Hopi Indians, and many other ancient civilizations. Some believe it is a day of enlightenment, some believe the pole shift theory, and some believe that gods will come that day. Whatever the case may be and with some many different scenarios I hope the best one plays out.
Modern information has revealed that the heliosphere, the protective shield of energy that surrounds our solar system, has weakened by twenty-five per cent over the previous 10 years and is now at it lowest level since the space race commenced fifty years ago.
Men of science are dumbfounded at what may be making the barrier contract in this way and are going to launch a mission to analyze the heliosphere. Dr Nathan Schwadron, co-investigator on the IBEX mission at Boston University, said: “”Around ninety per cent of the galactic cosmic radiation is deflected by our heliosphere, so the boundary protects us from this harsh galactic environment.”
The heliosphere is produced by the solar winds. A combining of electrically charged molecules and magnetic fields that emanate at more than a 1,000,000 miles an hour from the sun, adjoin the intergalactic gas that occupies the breaches in space between solar systems. Without the heliosphere the damaging intergalactic cosmic radiation would make life on Earth just about impossible by demolishing DNA and making the climate uninhabitable.
If the heliosphere continues to weaken, men of science dread that the amount of cosmic radiation arriving at the innermost parts of our solar system, including Earth, will increase. This can result in arising levels of disruption to electrical equipment, damage satellites and possibly even injury life on Earth.
Well, if he wouldn’t go after Muslim symbols, at least you can still enjoy Paul Potts singing about nuking Mecca (translated from the Italian)
