Did anyone else see the latest scene from the movie, 2012? It's so way over the top that it was actually entertaining in a themepark ride sort of way.

Don't know about the actual plot though.

To me it just seems like the whole thing is going to be about the world falling apart. literally. physically. and omg these people are trying to survive while the world is 'ending'!!!! I just dunno. I don't like the idea. But that's me :\

And yeah, it does kind of look like an amusement park ride.

Wow. How terrible does this movie look?

I mean, if the world is REALLY ending, what does running buy you?

I feel like I just saw the whole movie!

Next time, don't let the Mayans invent a calendar that runs out of numbers, or this will happen all over again. *snort*

I used to live in So Cal. The people there really, really, really think that when an earthquake hits they will all have time to go to the airport and all fly out of state while the quake waits for them to complete boarding.
Not kidding.

Being that it's SoCal, I'm sure there are probably loads of surfers there--just as there are here in Hawai'i--who think that when those Tsunamis start rolling in from the quakes, they're going to surf the waves and have the best rides of their lives.

Yep, those too. But they really did not surprise me as much as the others.

Denial? Time to cope with your imminent and inevitable death?

2012.…saw it advertised at the theater today. Like I’m not getting enough gloom & doom from the History Channel these days.

I donno, I like John C so I will likely go see it or catch it on dvd. That is I hope before December 2012. After that I don’t think I’ll be watching anything….nobody will

Not even restricted to the east and west coasts, one of my buddies in Texas, when a hurricane was rolling in (Isabelle?) got plucked off the beach, surfboard in hand, cussin and howling the whole way, by the national guard, heh heh.

Finally some good waves out of the gulf, and no one would let him out there to ride them.

My response to the end of the world would prolly be just goin on doin whatever I happen to be doin at the time - unless I though takin cover would be of some use.

I might go watch this obvious dud just as a special effects bonanza, especially if I get to watch Baltimore obliterated - the bomb in sum of all fears wasn't NEARLY big enough to satisfy...

Interesting concept in regard to disaster proof vessels though, someone I know is working on a zeppelin that has a "skin" made of ultra-light, thin solar panel material, which in theory would help insulate, power the heaters (hot air lift) and the drive motors - it's a neat little toy, has a lot of potential, it does.

ETA: Holy crap, that guy drives like me!
Is he from Michigan, or a Hillbilly, I wonder?
