Rumor: George Lucas Thinks the World Will End in 2012 UPDATE

[Godhead]

Maybe they can invite Jimmy Hendrix when he's done scuba diving with Yahtzee.

I think I like this Lynne Hale. XD

I can't wait until 2012 passes without event.

Then people will finally shut up about it.

There will always be another doomsday.

Lucas thinks the world will end in 2010. That is something that i would like to believe. So i'm going with lie.

 

[rutger5000]

So what?

Well, if the world is gonna end next year, it's either going to be because of the Hedron Collider sparking a black hole, or George Lucas blowing up the world just to prove himself right. Possibly from the driver's seat of the world's first inter-planetary space-craft, which may or may not resemble the Millenium Falcon.

uhh...the hadron collider already happened, and there is no possible way that it could happen

So yeah, unless a meteor is going to hit us (we'd probably know about it by now) or a power plant in Japan melts down causing a chain reaction to start (there are over 50 nucleor power plants in japan) that knocks the early out of orbit or something...I don't think there is much chance of the end of the world in the next year or so.

Now in the next 30 years? Thats another story.

I completely agree with you however I feel the need to point out that a nuclear reactor meltdown is not an explosive event. It would just leak large amounts of radiation. So we dont have to worry bout that. The subsequent creation of Godzilla (Godzillas... Godzilli?) from said radiation would be something to worry about.

-lord of all snips-

The godzilla (or however you spell it) thing was just a joke relating to the nuclear reactors and japan. I know just as well as you do that the Mayans had no clue about anything outside their lands and often used alcohol and hallucinogens to 'aid' their predictions. I put as much faith in their predictions as I would a drunken oaf addled by acid.

2012 will come and go just like any other year, people will just panic more and the tabloids will make millions.

Why was Seth talking to the Toronto Sun? The Toronto Sun is a small, unimportant magazine.

 

[Gabriel Xollan]

I say the world can't end until Star Wars is forgotten completely. Besides, George Lucas will just use the force of his money to convince the universe to stabalize and then have it produce another Movie.

 

[MaxwellEdison]

The prequels to Star Wars already proved the man was an idiot.

 

[Quaidis]

Man, that was the best update in the universe. I laughed my ass off reading it.

 

[Greenhand]

If George thinks the world is going to end in 2012, that's only so that he'll have a chance to re"master", rewrite, retcon and rerelease the whole fucking thing ten years from then, the great bastard.

"He was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is an adamant believer that the world is flat, that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and that the sun revolves around the Earth. These are among the many subjects he commonly discusses at length with Elvis, who he's going to digitally insert into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors."

That was the best response to this that I could imagine.

No kidding... Now, if this were the Star...

Shit just got real.

UPDATE:

Lucasfilm representative Lynne Hale emailed Wired.com to clear some things up about Lucas' beliefs:

"He was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is an adamant believer that the world is flat, that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and that the sun revolves around the Earth. These are among the many subjects he commonly discusses at length with Elvis, who he's going to digitally insert into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors."

Seth Rogen could be exaggerating, but I still wouldn't be surprised if Lucas were prepped and ready to escape this planet for a galaxy far, far away.

ROFLMAO!!!

Yep, that one's gonna stick with me for a while. Lucasfilm basically just said Seth Rogen is full of it.
For some reason I am inclined to agree.

Come to think of it, if Indy 5 follows closely to when Indy 4 takes place, then Elvis would still be around.
I need to think about if that is more cheese than aliens and nuking refrigerators.

 

[Tomo Stryker]

Well its official, George Lucas is insane.

He is around... what seventy years old? The fame and money baths must be getting to him. But at any rate I'm going to definitely be getting my couple billion Euros I've saved up over the years to get a seat next to Rogen, as long as he shares his stash with me its going to be a fun ride.

*Double Post*

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Wait, was that PR person kidding?

 

[Mechsoap]

So now the update came out hes even more bat shit insane then before?
