    So the Mayan calendar says that we'll all be consumed by rampant CGI in 2012? That IS impressive.

    Except the Mayan calendar doesn't actually predict anything. It just ends at 2012. Basically because they didn't really need it to go any higher at the time.

    So, when does this movie come out? Because if it is this year, then they only have a few left to market DVD sales and try for a sequel.


    Cause you know there is a sequel. It is "2013, Rise of the Twinky Eating Cock Roaches."


    Oh crap, you can't have a sequel if we are all dead in 2012. Damn, this makes no sense.

    What a fucking gay way to get people scared for the future. Now in 2012 everyone is going to be slaughtering their families and friends thinking that this is going to actually happen.


    I don't understand why someone would let a movie like this get made. Have they not realized the repercussions?


    Seriously, I'm worried about how this is going to affect the public.

    @Steve Neill: Swearing like that only lessens the impact of your writing. Now were you to remove the f-bomb from the first sentence and rephrase your second paragraph as "I don't understand why someone would let a movie like this get made. Have they not realized the fucking repercussions?" Or, to be slightly more contemplative, and add weight to your obvious worry, toss it in the third paragraph. "Seriously, I'm fucking worried about how this is going to affect the public."

    You know you all cried when Bruce Willis was all "I gotsta do this!" and Ben Affleck was all "No! I'm banging your daughter, don't die!" and Bruce Willis hit the button for the elevator from the outside, 'cause that's always where you put the button on an elevator, and Ben Affleck fell to the floor and cried like a bitch. Oh man, gets me every time.

    @SirNotAppearing: Don't forget the weak, implausible plot device whereby it's better to train drillers to be astronauts than the other way around. Yes, they covered this idea in the movie. No, it was not believable.


    Never mind Independence Day, where every schmo off the street can suddenly perform close air combat in an F-18. Oh, and aliens are all equipped with USB (this occurred in the era when Mac and PC would barely cooperate).

    The Mayan calendar ends in 2012. Aston Martin proposes introducing a badgineered Toyota supermini around 2012.


    Coincidence? I think not.

    Awesome. I'm hoping for a disaster movie renaissance similar that of the mid '90s. With more Liv Tyler, less Ben Affleck, if I can be picky.

    @SirNotAppearing: I will only consider it a renaissance if there's a critical mass of spinoffs that follow the big-name one.


    2012: John Cusack fights for survival as ancient Mayan prophecies come true.
    Cenote: Citizens of a small town in Belize are terrorized by giant watery sinkholes that open up, threatening to destroy several villages. With Benjamin Bratt as "Miguel."
    Battle at Tikal: NBC made-for-TV flick about a Guatemalan ecotour that stumbles upon ancient, magical ruins that house the living dead. Starring Scott Baio as "Randy."
    Then: Discovery Channel presents Yucatan Armageddon. Mike Rowe narrates.
    Finally: Travel Channel tours the bars of the Mayan Riviera during American Spring Break.

    If its from the same director as Independence Day and Day After Tomorrow, we can pretty much expect awesome special effects coupled to a shallow/non-existant plot with a love-story thrown in to try to get women to go.

    @engineerd hates hydrogen leaks: i'm pretty sure it's got the same plot line as Day After Tomorrow:


    Man is faced with gigantic, rapidly escalating disaster. Man has to go to extreme lengths to save his family.

    Government evacuates people to safe place- some make it, some don't. Some are jerks, some aren't.


    The End

    events prophesied by the ancient Mayan calendar


    Thankfully, we'll all be dead in 2011, thanks to the Maya calendar.
