2012
Forget about climate change. Forget about preventing a second term for Obama. The world is coming to an end the month after the election. "It could really happen." And that is a quote.
[What a waste of the category "art." I promise to do better in future.]

Too bad the Mayans did not see the closer cataclysm of the Spanish. I'd have to call them 0 for 1 -- too harsh?
Yet I embrace the premise wholeheartedly -- no need for Cap'n Trade now...

Posted by: T. Greer at July 3, 2009 4:59 PMOK, I take back my dismissive closing above. I'd give this movie a chance, though not at 10 bucks a head. (PPV maybe.) If one just disregards the Mayan prediction premise, which is so often where the great errors lie - in the premise, then it might be an entertaining film about disaster on a global scale. It is a recurring Heinlein theme after all.
I'll ignore the director's (Roland Emmerich) support of Hillary '08 and his efforts to "focus the public's attention on the issue of global warming" since 2004. He is dismissive of film critics which is all right by me.
