2012

Nothing like an end of the world film to help with the Summer. The film seems to have the right amount of explosions that fast moving vehicles can stay one micro step ahead of. Everybody knows you can outwit an explosion with decent reflexes and a plane. Plus there's always so much time to think about what you are going to do in the instant of a cataclysmic eruption.

Just the other day I swerved and missed a pothole, nothing to it.

I wish the director had sent out an internet request for objects, buildings, or areas that ordinary people would like to see getting destroyed. Not that I wish anyone or anyplace any real harm.

Welcome to Summer by the way.

Y2K on steriods. Y is it Hollywood and the media cannot live without these doomsday scenarios? It creates panic and fear for profit. I was sucked into the Y2k thing but never again. The world comes to end for every one of us in time. Sometimes we speed things up with war.

This is the directors' 3rd - world gets destroyed movie. The guy found his cash cow. I find this stuff boring as hell, the special effects are now passe, we've seen the same impossible junk over and over. This stuff is nothing more than receding kitsch.

By the way the Mayan's didn't predict a world ending scenario. Their calendar just says it's the end of one of their Cosmic eras. The rest has been added by the usual crowd of doomsday wackos. We don't need any help ending the world anymore. If Putin or Obama want to they can do it with a ph. call.
