I say shame on Sony for creating a commercial for their 2012 move like this. Imagine some young kid coming across this. I do assume everyone knows that IHC thing is from Sony. It would probably freak some young kids out. Actually I saw some adults freaking on this until they were told about the Sony gig.

There was a lottery to be saved in the movie "Deep Impact" and a black president. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLgSKv2P-ow
Yeah, all these apocalypse movies are great fun to watch. "A Boy And His Dog" is a fun family movie. "On The Beach" is an oldie but goodie. "The Day The Earth Caught Fire" is enjoyable.
Looking forward to Legion. Ordering extra champaign to celebrate 2012.

That's just a run of the mill individual freedoms abuse saga. Not remotely on the scale of the much more enjoyable doomsday/apocalypse/end of the world movies.

Agreed. Shouldn't it be realized that if they were to spend all that time and effort making such an accurate calendar that they would at least take the last minute to write down the last final biggest moment??? Or on that last day of writing, did their hands just get a little tired to fill in a comment or two about that last day which would end the world? Personally, I don't give much credit to the Mayans as any form of advanced civilization. Anyone see the movie Apocalyptico? Ya sure, like I'll base such a belief on anything they wrote anyway.

Me too. The first big one for me was when I was a very little kid and the big neighbor boy and his family told me about the end of the world. I told them they were all crazy and sure enough the day came and passed. Again. Again. And again.
It says a lot about the people with such tendencies to think like that. Sure glad I'm not one of them.

Actually the official Mayan council of Elders has not said anything in over 500 years to the outside world. That is until a couple months ago. And they did not say the Earth was going to come to an end in 2012. However they did say that anytime between right now and about 2015 there could be some major changes taking place. The idea of these changes is based on knowledge passed down from each generation of Elders regarding changes that have regularly occurred in the past. There is a 13,000 year cycle and a 26,000 year cycle that often brings major changes. We are supposedly now at the very end of a 26,000 year cycle. I don't think anyone can say with certainty what if any changes may happen. Some say a pole shift will occur. Others think it will be merely a shift in consciousness. Some say we'll have 30 hours of darkness (woo hoo! - after this all flashaholics will be looked upon as gods :D ) and during the darkness people will experience a sort of insanity during which time it will be best to sit and meditate on your flashlight. :grin2: The scientists however say nothing is going to happen. That is at least nothing like a pole shift - well at least it's unlikely for about another 30 million years. So who knows :shrug:
I happen to know for a fact that the moon is going to crash into Australia.
Well. that means I'm pretty well set up to survive. I'm on the other side of the planet.:party:
Good for you. I'm sure there will be no domino effect fallout from such an event. Just make sure to wear your :tinfoil:
I don't know, I think that tinfoil helmet would hurt during a (just as probable follow up to the meteor) huge solar wind event, that acts as EMP. What's that called again?
But if you send me your head dimensions, I'm sure I could produce a stylish Fedora tin foil helmet.

Forgot to add that the law abiding citizens won't be able to get ammo without being treated like a criminal, if at all. Look up AB 962 (De Leon). It's a bill that may pass and will outlaw all internet and mail orders of ammunition in California. It requires all ammo purchases to be made face to face. It requires a fingerprint and to show your driver's liscense to buy bullets. It requires a liscense for handgun ammunition vendors. It requires the vendor to keep a record of how many bullets you purchased. It requires a background check be done on any employee who handles/sells the ammunition during any time in their employment, and they have to pass it to handle ammo. It states that after July 1, 2010, no person can sell or transfer more than 50 rounds of ammo a month unless they are registered as a handgun ammunition vendor. Violating any of these rules is a misdemeanor.
Okay, so the state of California wants to require all companies selling ammunition to purchase a new liscense while they are struggling during a reccesion. For all we know, the cost may be enough to keep them from staying in that business. On top of that, all of their employees will have to pass a background check at the owner's expense. The owner selling ammo will have to keep a record of your personal information from your driver's liscense, a fingerprint, and what type of ammo you purchased, as well as how many bullets you purchased. If I go to a shooting range with a friend and use more than 50 of his rounds, I'm guilty of a misdemeanor and probably won't be allowed to purchase the ammo in the future. The bill effectively outlaws buying rounds from out of state by mail or internet order. What about the store owner? Wouldn't that restrict them from restocking their supply of ammo to sell if they purchase it from a supplier out of state? California has a ban on lead ammo, so currently some stores get it to sell from out of state. If they can't get it, older weapons that only have lead shells made for them will no longer be able to be reloaded. This is a bad bill and is unconstitutional, violating the Commerce Clause. Only the federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce, not the state.
Our state is cutting off our water supply, killing our food crops (they need water), is letting criminals go free, and now wants to disarm the law abiding citizens. Does anyone else see a massacre coming to California next year or is it just me? Or at least a doomsday movie about what could happen? I'd prefer a movie rather than living through it.

That was a test run.
You won't hear much about things like this in the media but you will hear plenty about celeberties.

Increase in doomsday movies correlated to the New Millennium?
