    by kosherwookie

    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.

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.

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?

    Steve Alten's novel "Domain"...

    by hb_dad

    ... 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.

    Mayans were great astronomers

    by aphex twin

    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!

    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.

My last Emmerich movie was that stupid retard pre-historic movie of his, and that was pain enough to last a lifetime. Never more!

    by sisterspooky

    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.

    Better to use prophesies

    by growltiger

    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.

    "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.

    rfid: prophesies, prophesying, prophesized

    by growltiger

    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.

    by pig_ignorant

    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.

    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!
