The man who wrote the Mayan calendar didn't get sick of writing it, he just died before he could finish it.
They make all of these films about how the world ends, why can't we have a film about the end of Michael Bay? I really want to see a Michael Bay disaster film. That is, not a disaster film about Michael Bay, but a film about Michael Bay being a disaster (and I am not refering to his film making, although that is a disaster).Skeleon said:I'm not the biggest fan of that kind of movie myself (though they can, occasionally, be exactly the kind of mindless flick one wants to watch).Sneaklemming said:I agree; I want to see another deep impact style movie- i loved that movie!
I just meant that I don't see any pretense about 2012 being anything but a disaster movie. And those definitely have their niche.

yes I do know something, 2012 WILL HAPPEN! MUHAHAHAHAHA!cuddly_tomato said:What if you really know that something is going to happen in 2012,
This entire thread proves that 2012 will happen!

oh thats why.KiLl_RoY said:Once i heard somewhere someone say:
"People believe what they want to believe"
I agree with you 100 %. It's a lot like that other movie the same guy made, "The Day After Tomorrow"; a movie with a retarded plot based in nothing in reality except a doomsday theory with very little actual grounding in reality. The whole movie was just a series of pointless special affects.IanBrazen said:I recently posted on a thread about "the last thing to make you angry".
when I realized that I need to share my anger with everyone else in the hopes that I will keep people from seeing this movie (even though it wont).
So here is what I posted,
Well I went to see a wonderful film yesterday ("this is it") and when I went into the theater I was immediately assaulted by the newest disaster film under the guise of an actual movie, 2012.
Listen people,
People say that the Mayans predicted the end of the world occurring on this date, but those people are completely
![]()
The Mayan calender doesn't predict doom, it just ends, probably because the person writing got sick of his job.
In fact here is a quote from Wikipedia if you all think I'm talking out of my pasty white ass.
"The idea of a global event occurring in 2012 based on any interpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is rejected as pseudoscience by the scientific community, and as misrepresentative of Maya history by Mayanist scholars."
the world will not end on 2012, I promise.
Now about the movie.
So far I am very very unimpressed with what I have seen, the only plot I got out of it is "Stuff gets blown up, run away."
Sure the CG is impressive, but CG does not a good movie make, and no amount of John Cusack can save it.
Some people are ok with watching priceless monuments and world wonders getting destroyed but I would like a little more bang for my buck. (no pun intended)
You may say "but how can a movie about shit getting annihilated possibly be boring?"
I would say, just watch "The day after tomorrow."
but if you want to know about this particular film then I have two other movies you should look up made by the same people.
1. Godzilla (1998 remake)
2. 10,000 B.C.
I shouldn't have to say anything else, but I will say that these jokers ruined Godzilla for me for about 8 years.
there is not any apology that can make up for that.
Does anyone else feel the way I do about this movie,
or am i just pissing in the wind?

The difference between the global warming and the other stuff is that there is loads of evidence for it.WeedWorm said:2012 is Roland Emmerich once again using peoples fears to make a quick buck. Its the same shit over and over again, with whatever people are scared of at the time (aliens, global warming, an ancient calender) destroying famous buildings. Im surprised he hasnt made a a movie about a world-wide pandemic yet.
I was half joking. But all kidding aside, no matter how bad things get they won't wind up like they did in the day after tomorrow, that was fiction.IanBrazen said:I think the global warming nuts will disagree with you.williebaz said:I agree with you 100 %.

"The Day After Tomorrow" is right next to "An Inconvenient Truth" in their dvd racks.
damn now I have to buy carbon credits so they wont feel insulted about this.

I've considered seeing this movie, because there's a theatre on my block, i really should.
Come out of your costume.
And never come back.
Also, they don't say theatre much either.
Yes we do, well i do, though that's because i live on a city 'block' (as in surrounded by roads) in London.
Theatre, well i'm from Ireland, so if not theatre, what do you TRUE BRITS, call a movie theatre?
Or is this a class thing?

Ooh, and a funny thought occurs.
Everyone who believes this shit will be fucking made fun of for the REST OF THEIR LIFE. The first day will be so embarassing for them.

I want to see their faces, mainly. Embarassed. I am evil by definition.
It is amazing how people can't see the truth. The problem is the Illuminati still have all the power. People need to fight back!The Andromedan Council has ordered all extraterrestrial presences on the planet, in the planet, and on the moon to be completely out of our space. They want everything that's ET, benevolent or not, off the planet. This will be very interesting since there are over 1,833 reptilians living in our planet and over 18,000 grays living underground and on the moon. The council would like to see how we will live with each other when we are not being manipulated by ETs, as we have been for the last 5,723 years.
I was born, and raised in the Republic of Ireland, then moved to England, then America, Off to Canada for a little while, back to America, then i flew back home to Ireland, and now i'm living in England again, so i'm a British citizen.

Why would an Irish person say they're British, anyway? Oh, and pretty much everyone in Ireland, in my experience, has always said cinema. Or pictures. Or films. Or, in rare cases, movies.
But not theatre.
Also, nice clearing up on the block thing. I thought you meant the classic Yank's block.
To the rest of the Escapist, Yank is not always an offensive term. It is just what we call Americans.
I hope you're joking here.cuddly_tomato said:Wrong again.

The clock is ticking [http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=12&day=21&year=2012&hour=11&min=11&sec=11&p0=0].
It isn't too late for you all to wake up to this. Do not be fooled by the agenda of the Orion Reptoids [http://www.greatdreams.com/reptlan/reps.htm] who are really the ones controlling our planet, up until recently anyway. The recent events (such as Obama being elected and the credit crunch) can be directly attributed to this actions of the Andromedan Council causing the reptoids to leave:
