The 2012 Teaser Sheet Prophesizes (That's Probably Not A Word) Its Way To The Internet...
Merrick here...
Yahoo has posted the teaser sheet for roland Emmerich's 2012, featuring a strinking image from the film's recently released trailer.
Follow the continental shearing to see the whole thing - as well as several character images from the film, etc.
Say what you will about Emmerich, THIS FILM'S TRAILER fucks up our world real good. Best planetary desecration ever? We'll see...

That is all.

Think it's due to "polar shift." I.e, the earth wiggles 'round so that Antartica is on the equator and Venezuala is the new pole.
-
If you pretend to be a journalist at all, why the hell don't you look up whether "Prophesizes" is an actual word instead of advertising your ignorance? Spelling, grammar and syntax are the most basic tools of your trade; if you can't be bothered to learn fundamentals, why should we listen to you?
-
If so, this severely impacts the upcoming 2012 entertainment calendar, including the sure to be announced remakes of MEATBALLS II, YOR: THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE, and the upcoming sequel 3 MORE FAST3R AND FURIOUSER. Hmmm….come to think of it, L.A. sliding into the ocean might not be such a bad thing after all.

Those are the kinds of Earthquakes I had nightmares about...
by d.vader
... as a kid. I used to think that's exactly what happened- the world opened up, terrible ripples were sent through the land, tearing open crevasses everywhere that our cars and houses could fall into. Then I got older and realized earthquakes are nothing like that at all. Thanks, Emmerich, for bringing back that fear to me.
-
I knew that the world would basically end after I turned 30.
-
I mean, it's not like 2001, where some of the scietific predictions were wrong. They are saying we all DIE in 2012. So either this movie will be AWFULLY dated by the time it hits TV, or they're right, and it won't matter anyway since we'll all gonna die.

remember the Y2K? That was nothing compared to what we are about to experience. All media will jump on this shit. I guess it will be the end of the world in some sense. This is like the only prophecy with an actual date. In case nothing happens, there will be nothing left waiting for. We will see that there are no prophecys. It is only us. Personaly I hope Eric Von Daniken will be right and it will be the day when the Aliens visit us again.

Just that there would be a large "shift". In their world, there were phases or something that the world went through. December 21, 2012 is when the current phase ends and the next phase will begin. Could it be some rogue nation setting off nukes? SKYNET going self-aware? Alien invasion? The election of a new President that totally fucks everything up?
-
Just not to be used like that. Let's resist putting a pun in every article
-
The first time I ever heard Emmerich talk was when he introduced the trailer for 2012 a while back. For a man that's made the movies he has made, you think you would hear a lot more from him.
-
Epitaph One was outstanding television.

Just curious.

I stopped drinking on Saturday and today my liver feels like it's going to bust out my fucking side. Is that normal?
-
If so, then who gives a shit about this movie?
-
yeah that prophecy came true in 2001... the election of a new president that fucks everything up
-
From a few years ago.
-
but my god, some assholes would rather tremble in fear (maybe they enjoy the adrenaline rush?) than cop the fuck on, and learn something.
Tremble in fear then, you dumb fucks. The rest of us will laugh all the way into 2013. -
Strinking is not a word d-hole.

How fucking out of it do you have to be to think you made up a word that actually exists and is fairly obvious? Jumpin' John Paul George and Ringo!

Let's hope it's a bit more exciting than that one (no offense Hawaiian). Though they did do destruction fairly well in that one too.

...and it's pretty freakin' lazy that you didn't even bother to look it up before posting.

Fuck you, Emmerich.
-
There is a movie like that, oddly enough called 'Impulse'. It's from 1984, not the 70ies.
On topic: looks like a typical Emmerich movie, should be reasonably entertaining, if sometimes for the wrong reasons. -
Every cable channel is going to be running 'End of the World' shows in anticipation of 2012. The Wide Wide Wacky World of Religion all over the globe is going to be preaching the end. Every gun nut in America is going to be stockpiling food, guns and ammo. The news will stoke the anxiety to a fever pitch, and then....poof! Nothing. No end of the world.
-
jesus man thats like comparing hitler to castro.
-
CGI is mostly to blame. In fact it's all to blame. I hate what CGI has done to movies....
-
Emmerich blows shit up real good. What the hell else do you haters want? Show me a battleship (the JFL no less) sliding into the freekin; White House, mix in some dopey ass choir music, and I'm good. Pass the popcorn, baby! When I want intelligent movies with good dialog I'll tune in IFC; when I want to see shit blow up real good Emmerich is my boy!
-
I dunno whats worse. That he wants to be Michael Bay or that he can't even be as decent as Michael Bay.
-
amusing trailer, but as someone living in the Mayan world for several years now and having studied the REAL Mayan calendar, it's all a bunch of jive. kind of embarrassing, frankly.
-
... is based around 2012 as well and is my all-time favorite book. It is the first book in a trilogy. The second book "Resurrection" is also real good and follows the prophesies of the final apocalypse that is said to be prophesized to follow the disaster of 2012. I highly recommend this author's work. He is best known for the "Meg" series, the first novel of which is about to go into full production as a movie.
-
Considering the religious implications the 2012 thing has, I can't help but to think this film would have better with Aronofsky or Malick at the helm. Instead we're just going to get destruction over and over.
-
Like Transformers2, it'll be fun to look at, but I'm not getting my hopes up on plot.

Its just gonna be a slow run down to the end. All of these movies are really setting the bar too high. Nature herself can't stand up to these CGI End Times fantasies!

But, what I want to know is, if they were so smart...how come they did'nt see their own demise? I guess their calander ended a couple hundred years ago...
-
For one, the earliest civilization was not the Mayans, it was the Sumerians.

All those who mistake his movies for fun shall have their geek credentials revoked. And the people who believe the world is going to end in 2012 are idiots. Sorry.

It looks the same as all his other crappy disaster pics. He needs a new game.
-
We halfway agree on something. Fuck Roland Emmerich and his movies. People, DO NOT give this man your money. On second thought, its going to be useless in 3 years anyway, so go ahead and throw your money away.
-
how did nic cage miss being in this?
I can see his patented run, his hair, ears, and prehensile lips bouncing with each step -
Their calender is based on a solar cycle, nothing more. These people look at the end of a calender a read too much into it. Every calender I ever had ended on Dec 31 but the world is still here! To the tinfoil hat wearing lemmings who think the world will actually end in 2012, you are offically schmucks. Be joyful my friends, in 2012 another 5000 year solar cycles shall begin and we will be free to destroy the planet ourselves!

How do you survive the end of the world.
Not very final is it? -
An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.
Not very final is it? -
Maybe we can also agree that soem people have too much money, which might not had been too hard for them to earn it, and so they can give it away so freely and unpreoccupided to shitty movies made by shitty directors. Becasue i'm quite certain that if money had come a bit harder for this fellows, i think they would think twice about spending it on really bad movies with no merits whatsoever. The "dumb is fun" attitude would die in a hurry.
-
How do you survive the end of the talkback when the world is cataclysmic?
An epic tale about a global disaster that brings a start to the world and tells of the cowardly struggle of the sensible people.
-
You were warned!
-
I do heed thy warning. i made my mind months ago, since that very stupid first teaser trailer, i'm not going to watch this piece of shit, or any other Roland Emmerich movie ever again. My last Emmerich movie was that stupid retard pre-historic movie of his, and that was pain enough to last a lifetime. Never more!
-
You sat thru 10000 BC? I feel so bad for you right now. I wish you a speedy recovery.
-
I DO agree with you on the money thing. I don't make much and thus am very picky about the movies I spend money on. However, the state Hollywood is in has made it very easy to make those choices.
-
quit the fucking business?
I would pay NOT to see this load of shit! -
All movies does look the same nowadays. It's just eye candy and no emphasis on good storytelling. What happened to good storytelling Hollywood? Too much CGI is boring, yeah it looks great but where's the substance - storytelling, making sense and characters. It almost feels like Gaming and Movies are merging. But have to say some games are involving and have good storytelling.
-
Prophesize is considered substandard by some accounts. But if Bob Dylan can use it with reference to those poets "who prophesize with their pens," then maybe it ain't as bad as some of us think it is.
It is comforting to know that whilst we discuss a movie about the end of the world, some of us prefer to debate word usage. -
they never finished their calender because they were dead
-
Shouldn't it be out by now?
-
That shit is fucking genius, and a million times better than any real Emmerich trailer!
I still loves me a bit of the ol' apocalyptic destruction though...I forsee a *cough* entirely legal *cough* download of this... -
"Prophesies" is a noun. "Prophesize" is a verb. So no, you can't use one instead of the other--unless you want to sound like your grammar is no better than that of the average AICN writer.
-
Are all conjugations of the verb prophesy.
Prophecy is a noun and its plural is prophecies.
There are prophets that prophesied certain prophecies of doom.
The verb prophesy rhymes with "sigh." And the noun prophecy rhymes with "sea."
But I have no issue with "Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen." So long as the poet is Bob Dylan.
-
I hate this form. I do. I noticed the subject line error as soon as I selected the "post" button.
My last example is correct: There are prophets that prophesied certain prophecies of doom.
Serves me right for trying to be a pedant. -
We've come from "2010: The Year We Make Contact" to "2012: The Year We DIE!" Can't wait...
-
I kind of like all the anti-erection imagary...tall erect buildings crashing to the ground. Kind of like the film maker telling us that since he can't get a stiffy he's going to destroy the world! ... Anyway that's how I'm interpretting this work of art.
-
My (gay) brother knew a rent-boy who took it up the arse (that's ass for you Yankee Doodles) from the great filmmaker himself. Then Emmerich snorted cocaine out of the dude's bunghole. Not really, I made that last part up. The sodomy part is true, though. Really.
-
Yes the ones from a parallel Earth, come to our Earth to cause utter destruction. Of course they will need to explode near a well know monument (see pyramids, eifel tower, statue of liberty not in the middle of the Sahara.
-
bravo to the effects artists
-
Thanks for the sympathy, man, i needed that. Yeah, i did watched 10,000BC. God, that movie was even worst then i assumed, and i assumed it was going to be pretty bad. Well, we can't faul Emmerich, the man can suprise us even when we think the worst. Truly, 10,000BC has to be one of the most misguided movies i ever seen IN MY WHOLE LIFE! Not even watching the lovely Camille Belle eased the pain!The good thing was that i saw 10,000BC at home on DVD. It means that i could stop watching every time i felt like vomiting, and after the movie ended i could lay down to rest my troubled head. Good lord, that shit was tortune!
-
Friend, games arenow showing better storylines then the fucking blockbuster movies. I just can't believe i live at a times where i wrote that sentense above and it's not taken as an exageration or parody.
-
That's what exposure to 10,000BC can cause you, brain-farts!
-
Must be about 10foot wide by 8foot high... ish!. Detail is amazing.
-
Hell, this is no prophecy! Emmerich making a shit movies is scientifically predictable with 100% accuracy.
-
"Godzilla"? Suckage
"ID4" Suckage
"The Day After Tomorrow"? Suckage
"10,000 BC"? Suckage.
Is there a pattern here? Actually, I enjoy going to his movies in the theater for ONE reason and ONE reason only: To see how many times I can shout "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" at the screen before the ushers have me tossed out. -
I hope you do that in the really crowded sessions, for maximum impact. Who know,s maybe others would be inspired by you and turn the viewing session into a session of mockery.
-
...cataclysm in 2012 and it destroys humanity, so we don't have to put up with anymore shitty films like this one and countless others.
I won't have to hurl bottles and bricks at the stupid Emo kids in my street, who dress up like that pathetic Joker idiot, from that lamentable Batman flick anymore either.
