I'm still scraping that film out of my eyes.

As long as someone give us the next "Awww, HELLLL Nawwwww!" by YotzVonFrelnik	Nov 12th, 2008 10:45:04 PM
Chiwetel Ejiofor? Danny Glover, maybe? I'll accept one from Woody. It sure ain't gonna be Cusak.
YES!!!!!!!!! by Turd Furgeson	Nov 12th, 2008 10:50:42 PM
That is gonna be AWESOME! I love end of the world movies.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sloopjohnb by BrooseTheScharuk	Nov 12th, 2008 11:02:30 PM
I was just noticing that blatant "Shining trailer turned up to eleven" shit myself. What a cheap, "size does matter" kind of a stunt. Fucking philistines.
It's got John Cusack which is a good thing. by Amy Chasing	Nov 12th, 2008 11:06:13 PM
Maybe he needed the money?
Ah another "liberal environmental sermon movie' by jae683	Nov 12th, 2008 11:14:16 PM
Personally, I'd like to see the surviving members of Monte Python do this script. It'd kill at the box office.

you think we'll get to Washington, it won't be there?
If you could measure... by NormanJohnson	Nov 12th, 2008 11:26:13 PM
jackoff enjoyment in terms of stupid ass movies, 2012 would be me in front of pics of Jessica Alba and Marylin Monroe in a sloppy bj contest. That's called an excellent metaphor, btw.
Looks cool but... by Flying Spaghetti Monster	Nov 12th, 2008 11:29:01 PM
the whole..."look it up yourself, it's real!" is kind of lame. I mean we don't really want to fuel the fire of nonsense that is 2012, right? What's next, Buddha reincarnated?
Which end of the world movie is this? by Orionsangels	Nov 12th, 2008 11:36:34 PM
The old CGI ocean effect again. Except instead of a city, now it's mountains.

how on earth would waves hit OVER the Himalayas? by BadMrWonka	Nov 12th, 2008 11:39:58 PM
I know it's a silly Emmerich movie, but that doesn't even make sense at all. you can't take a pint glass fll of water, and pour it into a pitcher to make it overflow. there's not enough fucking water! maybe the mammoths did it. god, what a fucking moronic director. wouldn't you feel like an asshole if you made movies like this for a living?
At least by RandySavage	Nov 12th, 2008 11:39:58 PM

10 points for great movie quotes.
waves on the himalayas is an original concept. by RandySavage	Nov 12th, 2008 11:41:58 PM
I still won't rent 10,000 BC... or any other years - 1492, 1776, 1215, 1812 - Emmerich tries to tackle.
cheers, I even gave us 9 extra years... by Amy Chasing	Nov 12th, 2008 11:42:38 PM
Use them wisely.
Awwwwww Fuck Yeah! by Series7	Nov 12th, 2008 11:44:38 PM

BadMrWonka by Crisp_One	Nov 12th, 2008 11:47:58 PM
One of the big deals about 2012 is that all of these things in the sky are going to line up just right - the celestial equator, the equator of the Milky Way, etc. I'm betting that the plot will have combined gravitational forces creating a massive tide that pulls the oceans up over the Himalayas. Those same forces will then threaten to tear the Earth itself apart, but just at the right moment, the Large Hadron Collider will create the black hole everyone's been dreading, which will pull the earth back together, then mysteriously snuff out of existence. Then we'll be treated to heart warming scenes of people from various cultures decked out in their tribal best running outside, waving flags, which will cause us to all pause and reflect on "why can't we all just get along?"
At least The Avengers movie comes out before then by Hazman	Nov 12th, 2008 11:50:54 PM
Phew!
Hrrrmmm by macheesmo3	Nov 12th, 2008 11:52:01 PM
I wonder if it is gonna be a gravity thing or a big ass asteroid impact... it seems like the only two things that could push a wall of water that far inland and that high. ( not that Emmerich ever worried about silly things like physics before!)
What the fuck is "google search"??? by Series7	Nov 12th, 2008 11:53:07 PM
As apposed to what? Alta vista? Ask.com? Yahoo? Does anyone ever use those sites anymore? Well we all know Yahoo is big in japan.
Hasn't this story already been told? by Amy Chasing	Nov 12th, 2008 11:54:41 PM

Frame the Film as a Round-Table Stoner discussion by George Newman	Nov 12th, 2008 11:54:52 PM
This is really dumb. What makes this different from Day After Tomorrow? Volcanos, and that's it. very lame.
oh wait, HHGTTG is more credible. by Amy Chasing	Nov 12th, 2008 11:58:44 PM
My bad.
Ah, I'd never seen The Shining Trailer by TroutMaskReplicant	Nov 13th, 2008 12:00:45 AM
Just saw it now. I was thinking the music was a bit eerie and cerebral for a Roland Emmerich film. I guess it was.
I'd rather see 2112 on the big screen. by Royston Lodge	Nov 13th, 2008 12:01:12 AM
Rush's seminal sci-fi rock opera brought to life! WE ARE THE PRIESTS OF THE TEMPLE OF SYRINX!!! You know you want it...
I feel asleep during The Day After Tomorrow by Series7	Nov 13th, 2008 12:04:53 AM
I made it maybe 20 minutes and woke up for umm the credits. Though 10,000 BC was fucking awesome but it could have been SOOOO much better. They should have made the bad guy the alien from Stargate. And more Mamoth action.
Vowed to never watcch another Emmerich film... by Paul T. Ryan	Nov 13th, 2008 12:08:25 AM
...after the first 40 minutes of The Patriot. That vow has served me quite well.
I would so boogie board that fucker... by Josh Town	Nov 13th, 2008 12:09:52 AM
Because I dont think I'm divin' under it.
The Patriot was a career highlight for Emmerich. by Amy Chasing	Nov 13th, 2008 12:10:57 AM
His other was Stargate, and he needed help with that one.
That wasn't a tidal wave by Mr Slippy Fist	Nov 13th, 2008 12:18:58 AM
That was John Cusak flushing what little of a career he had left down the shitter.

IT UNCLOGS THE DRAIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE TIDAL WAVE AGAIN by RyanMurray	Nov 13th, 2008 12:41:56 AM
IT UNCLOGS THE DRAIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE TIDAL WAVE AGAIN
why bother having actors in this movie? by soup74	Nov 13th, 2008 12:52:35 AM
just show an hour and a half of the world being destroyed in various ways, that would be more fun.. sure it will be soulless, but then all of his movie are, and at least he wont have to pretend that the 'human' plot/story makes any sense, and we wont have to sit though the 'plot' we can just sit back and watch shit blows up real good. im really only half joking. as ridiculous as seeing a tidal wave crest over a mountain range is, that was pretty cool visual. the only reason we're all hating on this already is that we know once we see the 'plot' were going to be pissed off.
also.. by soup74	Nov 13th, 2008 01:00:06 AM
one sentence could have avoided the inane 'apple virus' problem in ID4. they said earlier in the film that they were using our own satellites against us to organize their countdown. not to get all 'thank you for smoking'-producer about it but just throw in a, "we can use our own satellites programming to give them a virus!"... done. still silly, but not as.
deanbarry by Aphex Twin	Nov 13th, 2008 01:02:13 AM
It would be outdated sure, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy 1984 or 2001: A Space Odyssey. Besides 2012 only marks the end of the current Mayan calender, they didn't live long enough to make the 2013 edition. Damn Spaniards.
Too many stupid people think it's real by V'Shael	Nov 13th, 2008 01:05:47 AM
That's the real problem with the world today. Every day I hear from yet another asshole, wondering out loud if the world is going to end in 2012, because of something they read on the internet. Why are people so god damn stupid, and why is it illegal to KILL THEM?
Aphex Twin by deanbarry	Nov 13th, 2008 01:38:56 AM
You are right! i mean, he got it so right with 10,000BC afterall. I shouldn't judge. :P
V'Shael by Aphex Twin	Nov 13th, 2008 01:46:39 AM
There have always been people who thought the end of the world was coming, some during their own lifetimes. And you're right, all they've met was stunning reality with gasp continued existence. As I said in my last post 2012 only marks the end of the mayan calender, which in turn marks the end of the current solar/astronomical cycle. The Mayans were excellent astronomers (as were the ancient Egyptians). But to point to Dec 21, 2012 as the exact moment of Earth's demise is a bit ludicrous. But if it's true, then Obama better not be planning for a successful second term.
I can't wait for this by Xiphos_2	Nov 13th, 2008 01:48:45 AM
This shit pile is going to be pure fucking entertainment from end to end.
GOOGLE SEARCH: 2012 by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Nov 13th, 2008 02:03:58 AM
Ha! That made me chuckle. They can't even be bothered to put an official website address on the teaser. "Aaah, just fucken google search it morons."
I love me some end o the world shit by bongo123	Nov 13th, 2008 02:05:03 AM
and roland makes great popcorn movies with some pretty spectactular set pieces and even though 10,000BC was shoite, it was still watchable for the mammoth & pyramid building scenes
and that massive wave over the mountains... sold! by bongo123	Nov 13th, 2008 02:07:22 AM

FFS - it's only A MOVIE by Maniaq	Nov 13th, 2008 03:03:28 AM

wtf?? by Maniaq	Nov 13th, 2008 03:09:24 AM
I swear I didn't hit post! anyway, I don't think anyone's trying to deliver their dissertation to the Nobel Foundation here - it's a friggin popcorn movie ok? some mildly amusing entertainments humbly submitted for your viewing pleasure... watch it. don't watch it. whatever. I'm not expecting anyone's life to be dramatically changed after watching this - it's just, like someone above suggested, A CHANCE TO WATCH SHIT BLOW UP! that right there is the reason I will be filling a seat in a movie theatre with my bum when this is released sheesh!
Oh Goody by Fortunesfool	Nov 13th, 2008 03:10:14 AM
Another badly written and directed movie with some cool fx shots.
"Where's yer Buddha now-w-w-w-w?" by BurnHollywood	Nov 13th, 2008 03:14:08 AM
Meanwhile, in Anchorage, Sarah Palin's standing on her desk, eyes closed, doing that "Jesus Antenna" thing with her arms and waiting for the Lawd to rapture her outta this mess... But she's just as screwed as the Dalai Lama...all along it was some badass Mayan Corn God you should have been worshipping. Buy yourself a bushel and get right with Him, before it's too late. Green Giant doesn't count.
soup74 by ThomasServo	Nov 13th, 2008 03:17:08 AM
You're absolutely right. The only reason I see a movie like this is for the visuals- why not just remove the retarded plot? I'd gladly pay 10 bucks to see nicely rendered calamities for 2 hours. As long as Bill Pullman isn't the president.
the movie isn't out for 4 years? by newc0253	Nov 13th, 2008 03:22:16 AM
oh, wait. having been to the himalayas, that looked improbably stupid.

What a fruitless exercise that is.
should have been a BLOOD RED SEA by Missing Dink	Nov 13th, 2008 05:14:28 AM
Talk about a missed opportunity. That would have justified lifting the audio from the Shining trailer (blood pouring down the hall). It also would have been SCARY AS HELL.
that was some good CGI by DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET	Nov 13th, 2008 05:17:34 AM
Someone should edit this video with American Psycho. Put Christian Bale screwing those two hookers on top of the mountain and then cut to him pointing at the ocean as it comes for them. Who want's to die ringing a bell?? And wouldn't that ocean be deafeningly loud enough to forgo said bell warning. I know what happened. That Monk punked Moses and ran off with his cane. This is Moses way of saying fuck fucking you.
God bless Roland Emmerich by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 13th, 2008 05:31:52 AM
At least he knows he's making rubbish, unlike Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner, Michael Bay, Stephen Sommers and McG.
Tsunami of Cum > Red Blood Sea by DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET	Nov 13th, 2008 05:33:28 AM

10,000 BC was still a smelly wet fart, though.

disaster movies, god love em good or bad they are still fun.... by j2talk	Nov 13th, 2008 06:15:51 AM
so I might have to check this out....plus Roland's got reality helping out his marketing now...we got a black president and we all know what that means- jut ask The Daily Show........
So they've already put this into Disaster Movie 2 then? by Monkey Butler	Nov 13th, 2008 06:33:48 AM
Let me guess, Katy Perry takes a massive dump, and the pressure needed to flush the toilet causes a massive tsunami, causing the Watchmen to be washed from the top of the Himalayas while shouting out "save us". Rorschach survives and whispers "no". Cut back to Katy Perry who looks into the camera and says "my bad". The audience goes wild, because "Hey! I've seen the trailers for those movies, and that chick totally kissed a girl and liked it!" I think writing that just killed me a little inside.
Monkey Butler by spud mcspud	Nov 13th, 2008 06:51:43 AM
But at least you're now eligible for a four-movie deal at Fox Movies. Hey, they'd kill for that shit!
NIBIRU IS COMING ALL HEED THE NEPHILHILM? by CharyouTree	Nov 13th, 2008 07:12:33 AM
thats right the ancient satan is coming back around riding his giant planet NIBIRU and hes making a stop at Earth again, this time were all getting bummed by alien lizard gods, fuck it, at least ill have seen AVATAR by 2012, I hope. AVATAR SPONKING ON YOUR EYEBALLS 2009
The world will end when the sun dies out.... by emeraldboy	Nov 13th, 2008 07:27:40 AM
However what is worrying is that astronomers have found that the layer around the sun is shrinking and that means that the Suns UV rays will increase thus bombarding the earth with stronger UV Rays ie Bigger amounts of Radiation. Astronomers say it is happening a lot quicker than they thought.
Most importantly and entirely on topic by doubleARon	Nov 13th, 2008 07:41:43 AM
Enterprise looks fine. ;) Sounds like these guys finally just threw the characters out the window instead of writing badly drawn ones. When the summary includes people only via the word, "people" how much human interest could there be? I kind of enjoyed The Day After Tomorrow, though. But, see, those characters worked on a sort of cornball level that wasn't crazy unrelatability (yes, made that word up just now) like Godzilla or ID4. In the end TDAT was enjoyable because a dad risked everything to save his son who was doing his part to survive. See? That's a shoddy summary, but ten times more gripping than 2112 right? Maybe there's a secret story in here that I could care about, and I hope for EVERY movie to be good, but... I remember some sort of synopsis from way back and... it's not a good memory.
At least the guy is consistant. by Pdorwick	Nov 13th, 2008 07:49:53 AM
...and was 10,000 BC really that bad?
Emerald boy... source for that nonsense please? by V'Shael	Nov 13th, 2008 07:59:36 AM
If you can't cite a decent source, then you're just one more crazy end-of-the-world person on the internet.
Google search... by seanny_d	Nov 13th, 2008 08:11:42 AM
The reason they want you to google search it isn't to convince you that it's real, but to get you to click on their "sponsored link" which goes to a fake lottery that will save members of humanity, Deep Impact style. It's just another little marketing thing. You'll see it if you type in 2012 in google under the "Sponsored Links" page.
Can't wait. by Kurutteru Yatsu	Nov 13th, 2008 08:26:50 AM
It's a Sci-Fi Channel movie with a budget. Always happy to cough up the money to watch everything get blown to hell.
You guys HAVE to admit... by AdrianVeidt	Nov 13th, 2008 08:47:43 AM
The guy knows how to make his audience feel tiny as hell. He knows scale. He did it with the British armies in The Patriot, he did with the spaceships in ID4, he did it with the weather in Day After Tomorrow... You can't tell me you guys didn't get a few chills from seeing waves coming over what I presume may be Everest. That being said, I will see this in the theater only, because that's what kind of movie it is.
Count me officially excited !!! by Darth_Valinorean	Nov 13th, 2008 08:54:46 AM
Haa haa... this is great. Ridiculous over the top special effects with a variation on the same old story.. how can we not take it "not seriously" and not watch it... and how do not like a sentence with so many nots in it? Knotty, eh??
I can see the Disaster Movie II spoof scene already... by Royston Lodge	Nov 13th, 2008 09:14:52 AM
A big wide shot of the Earth, seen from space. All of a sudden, out of the side of the frame, a giant space-tsunami (with surfers on it) swallows up the entire planet. How's THAT for global warming!
It'll still suck. They always do by StovetopStuffin'	Nov 13th, 2008 09:29:40 AM
And you know I'm right. We always get wowed by the teasers and trailers for this guy's flicks, and then we see a movie that blows.
Pdorwick by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Nov 13th, 2008 09:44:19 AM
10,000 B.C. was complete garbage. The only Emmerich film that was boring. Everyone who saw it and eventually gets Alzheimer's will be grateful. This looks gloriously retarded though. Can't wait.
Roland Emerich by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 13th, 2008 09:45:10 AM
is the modern day Irwin Allen. But in his defence at least he brings a touch of spectacle to his pictures.

The Shining Music by j_difool	Nov 13th, 2008 09:52:09 AM
OK, I am officially DISGUSTED with the trailer industry, trailer editors, trailer producers and DICKWAD studio marketing execs ! "We'll try slipping this Shining music past those motherfuckers... it's so old, no one will know." How the fuck do you use Stanley Kubrick music in a fucking Roland Emmerich film? Who's fucking sick joke idea is that? Let me let you guys in on a little secret... most of the readership of this site has a more comprehensive knowledge of film than the people making this crapola. There are trailer editors who have not even fucking SEEN the Shining !! I shit you not. Storm the gates! Kill every last one of them!
10,000 BC is still the worst movie I have seen this year by mefrog	Nov 13th, 2008 09:56:21 AM
And I can't even tell you what the fuck it was about. That was the most forgettable piece of shit I had to sit through. I will be skipping this, along with every other Emmerich movie henceforth.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! by FleshMachine	Nov 13th, 2008 10:01:50 AM
ridiculous? yes. AWESOME? FUCK YEAH!!!
Emmerich is the Hank Paulson of Cinema by Aquatarkusman	Nov 13th, 2008 10:06:47 AM

Lamest teaser of all time? by HoboCode	Nov 13th, 2008 10:13:26 AM
Yep.
Didn't see 10,000 B.C. - Can someone tell me by V'Shael	Nov 13th, 2008 10:17:08 AM
was there a "cross-over" with Stargate? I heard a rumour that there was going to be a sort of cross-over, in that 10,000 B.C. would feature a cameo by Ra or something. Did it happen?
Thanks that was a great movie/trailer by Knobules	Nov 13th, 2008 10:34:56 AM
As all Emmmerich. The trailer rocks and that is pretty much all of it. There will also be this thing called "talking" from dull characters to fill the time between effects shots.
Water? Really, water? Again? by Dr. Egon Spengler	Nov 13th, 2008 10:40:59 AM
Not impressed.

You saw Indy going over the mountains in the army vehicle yet again. Marion is still smiling too.
Huzzah! by Archive	Nov 13th, 2008 10:55:59 AM
With 10,000 BC Harry made the salient point that buying a ticket is worth it, just to cast a vote for original content. At the least, Devlin and Emmerich keep using non-adaptation, non-remake scripts. For that reason alone, I'll be there. Looks like this time I'll enjoy it, too!
Emmerich making another movie...... by Jak0lantern01	Nov 13th, 2008 11:05:05 AM
is yet another sign of the coming apocolypse. Who keeps letting this guy make nothing but disaster movies. He makes the best disaster movies because they're pure disasters themselves. ID4 was a bit of cheesey fun, but I'll never forgive the Godzilla debacle. Oh, wait, he turned that into a disaster movie, too, only with a giant irradiated iguana. STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Who gets the girl?... by Randfilms	Nov 13th, 2008 11:05:13 AM

Oh...there's actual people in the movie? by Darth Macchio	Nov 13th, 2008 11:13:51 AM
I figured since these guys use the most mundane cardboard cutouts of character types that they'd just do away with the script and actors completely and just make fictional documentaries of nature's destruction. Hey, you could get one of the actors to narrate!

"The Patriot" = Still Great by darthvedder81	Nov 13th, 2008 11:26:15 AM
It's Roland's best film. Of course it has more do with Mel Gibson, Tom Wilkonson, Robert "Private Ryan" Rodat, Caleb Deschanel and John Williams but still—it's Roland's best film.
"It can't be as bad as 10,000 BC" by Mosquito March	Nov 13th, 2008 11:40:11 AM
That's what people said about THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW when the 10,000 B.C. trailer was released.

...I'm not unconvinced that the Himalayan tsunami is a result of Danny Glover's increasingly more-pronounced Sylvester the Cat speech impediment. I heard they had to sponge Mark Wahlberg and Kate Mara off between takes in SHOOTER.

This at does at least look like nice eye candy and I do love a disaster movie. It's probably not going to have the greatest script but at least it's got some good actors in the roles. For me though it's going to be the CGI that will be the star of the movie. I thought the trailer was quite eerie and I love the imagery. I'll see this at the IMAX or if not on Blu-Ray. Sometimes a movie can be nothing but big dumb spectacle. I'd argue that Die Hard is kinda in that catagory. I guess I'm probably gonna get flamed now for voicing a different opinion. Oh well.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW AFTER NEXT by turketron	Nov 13th, 2008 12:21:07 PM
This movie needs Nicholas Cage!!!! His toupee can soak up the water and save us all. That toupee will be made from the pelts of the invincible CG wolves from The Day After Tomorrow. That or maybe the Bayformers will show up and help us out by using Optimus Prime's painted on flames to evaporate the water.

Well the Shining music impresses me... by D.Vader	Nov 13th, 2008 12:34:28 PM
In that they were able to mix the music with what we saw onscreen and almost convince you it was diagetic (the monk ringing the bell).

I like his movies by Wee Willie	Nov 13th, 2008 01:16:27 PM
The only one that I totally hated was 10,000 BC, which I think he directed via cell phone from the Virgin Islands while getting a blowjob.
turketron, I think you're onto something by just pillow talk	Nov 13th, 2008 01:30:31 PM
Clearly Roland needs some big help to take the next step to cheese. You need a decent 'name' actor that will just ham the screen the fuck up. Nic Cage is a good start. Hell, re-team him with Sam Elliot from the masterpiece Ghostrider.
Al Gore's Wettest Dream by Fandude	Nov 13th, 2008 01:31:22 PM
LMGTS - Let me get this straight. John Cusak, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson - Sounds like a liberal's wet dream. The Mayan calendar...huh? Aren't they the people who disappeared..vanished and they are telling us when the world will end. Riiiiiiiight.

He just tell a decent story by 420 Boylston St	Nov 13th, 2008 01:48:46 PM
SERIOUSLY. This guy has made nothing but shit through out his career. Uwe Boll should be scratching his head how this fool keeps getting money to make as many shitty movie as him and Paul WS Anderson. Geez!

So..... by Hugh G Rekshun	Nov 13th, 2008 02:07:30 PM
You guys really never get tired of the same ole complaints? Really? You can cut and paste 95% of the posts in this thread into almost any TB. Yikes!
420 Boylston St- you dont see his movies for the story by j2talk	Nov 13th, 2008 02:18:32 PM
you dont good to Emmerick's movies for the story- its the SFX.....course I did enjoy The Day After Tomorrow ,Godzilla and Independence Day- of course i read the novelizations first, that way i could fill in the missing story elements of the film... Stargate and Moon 44 werent bad either
When I Google Search: 2012, I get a picture of Sarah Palin by Mr. Profit	Nov 13th, 2008 02:23:08 PM
So I don't know if I should be scared or not.
420 Boylston St by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Nov 13th, 2008 02:35:02 PM
You're taking this too seriously. He makes popcorn movies. And he's actually made a few good ones. The Patriot is infinitely better than The English Patient and Crash and both of those turds won Best Picture Oscars. So Emmerich can hold his head high.

Someone has made that Waterworld prequel we've all been waiting for.
Maybe if they marketed it as a comedy? by The StarWolf	Nov 13th, 2008 03:13:53 PM
Because they have GOT to be kidding.
I hope to Christ that Hadron collider idea... by Ravetin	Nov 13th, 2008 04:12:17 PM
...is what really happens. If you're making a movie this over the top stupid, you have to go with something like that. Complete with "pulling the earth" together metaphors from the main characters. As a side note, 10,000 BC was the only movie i've ever fallen asleep in.
this teaser is pretty cool by brandon11	Nov 13th, 2008 04:26:34 PM
however i dont feel the movie will follow suit...haha whos seen The Core?

hey pillow talk - I had another look and you're right! by Maniaq	Nov 13th, 2008 04:50:30 PM
if you look closely enough you can see bobbing up and down, surfing over the top of that wave a tiny little FRIDGE!
so the movie is about an axis shift? by HybridEB	Nov 13th, 2008 05:02:21 PM
a pole reversal end-of-days! about time they tackled this issue, i cant wait to hear their "scientific" explanations ...
after another viewing, it is indeed a fridge by just pillow talk	Nov 13th, 2008 05:06:22 PM
I'm thinking a fridge should be digitally inserted into movies now. Just imagine if Ripley and Newt were sleeping in a fridge in Alien 3, they would still be alive.
brandon11 by just pillow talk	Nov 13th, 2008 05:08:43 PM
While I don't think the trailer is cool, was The Core sufficiently stupid and worth a rental?
And to those who hated The Patriot... by Ravetin	Nov 13th, 2008 05:17:56 PM
...consider: it's the only movie in the world where Mel Gibson almost constantly fucks up redcoats with a tomahawk and KILLS A HORSE WITH AN AMERICAN FLAG. What the fuck do you want from a movie if not that? Seriously, it's like that Simpsons version of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington come to life.
just pillow talk by tolomey	Nov 13th, 2008 05:44:19 PM
Just my 2 cents but I think The Core is most definately a guilty pleasure as it really is an entertaining B-movie with it's tounge planted firmly in cheek.
2012: Fucking your eyeballs in.... 2009. by My Mom Is A Whore	Nov 13th, 2008 06:02:22 PM
Hmmm. I sense a missed opportunity for some good advertising because of typical Hollywood impatience.
I'd rather see a "Domain" movie by drewlicious	Nov 13th, 2008 06:38:53 PM
Granted the book was dumb as a post but I was thoroughly entertained. Nice standoff at the end, too.
LOOKS AWESOME - LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A DREAM by BringingSexyBack	Nov 13th, 2008 08:16:06 PM
and 10,000 BC was not that bad. Watch it like you would watch Beastmaster and you'd enjoy it. Not to mention it has Camilla Belle - she can do no wrong!!!!
Gloriously Stuipd, or Just Stuipd? by Larry of Arabia	Nov 13th, 2008 08:16:32 PM
I can't quite decide yet, but that shot has me leaning towards gloriously stupid. I so long for the return of his gloriously stupid movies.
Roland Is by Phategod2	Nov 13th, 2008 08:31:01 PM
Film Abortion, how does this guy get work? what does he have to do? Direct a couple Batman movies to be trounced out of Hollywood.
Ravetin by Crisp_One	Nov 13th, 2008 11:41:38 PM
Wanna see about directing a movie together? We could come up with a summer blockbuster and make millions. After all, if people will pay to see 2012...
