Hollywood HiJinks

Hey! Didja know that the Mayans were "mankind's earliest civilization?" Yep, it's true! Everything that existed before 3114 BC was just practice. There must have been nothing in Mesopotamia, China or Egypt back then, because...hey, Hollywood said so! Don't believe me? Check out the trailer of the new Hollywood disaster movie 2012:



Okay, sarcasm aside, I do have to admit the movie looks cool and I love a great disaster flick, but I'm just worried that this crapola is going to cause more damage and panic among those who can't think for themselves. Remember Y2K?

One thing I do wish they had done different. A lot of "end of the world" movies Hollywood has put out has usually featured a black president as if to show that hey, it may be fiction, but it could happen. (Ex: Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact.) Anyway, now that we do have a black president in office, why not cast a white actor for the role? Hey, it could happen.

Oops, there's that sarcasm again.

I'm all kinds of excited about this film. You can't beat a disaster movie.

I think "Deep Impact" might be one of fav disaster films not least because of Téa Leoni and Mr. Freeman (and Jeff), but because something disastrous actually happens and the whole affair is surprisingly mundane and there isn't a magic save button.

That said, "Armageddon" - hello! Awesome film!
