for some reason people still pronounce 2010 as twothousand-and-ten while we never called 1910 ninteteen-hundred-and-ten and they never called the movie 2012 but twenty-twelve so how do you pronounce 2010?

I pronounce it twenty hundred and ten. Beat that. XD
OT: Twenty ten. It's the easiest one to say and I like making things easier to say.

Though both examples in your post are acceptable, two thousand and ten just sounds better. 2010 sounds all....American-y.
Twenty-ten is just easier.
The only reason we didn't say stuff like "Twenty-nine" is because it sounds like 29, instead of 2009. "Twenty-oh-nine" would be pointless, because it has as many syllables as "two-thousand nine." Since there's no such number as "twenty-ten," there's no confusion when we shorten "two-thousand ten" to "twenty-ten," so I don't see any reason not to call it that.
