#1 I wish that, by default, this made him a Moslem, then I could watch his atheistic a** squirm. I used to be an atheist and don't mind them a bit. It's the bigoted ones I don't like.

#2 The whispers are that this movie is so terrible that it's good in a comedic fashion. The pitiable cowardice of this clown is breathtaking. A bankrupt spirit eventually faces a bankrupt existence. (The Greeks called it hubris.)

#3 Emmerich has a unique talent to blow the world to pieces in his movies with absurd scenarios and stories.

The long counting of the Maya calender ends in 2012... and then begins anew, like it has done before.

#5 Free Radical, from what I've heard it's somewhere between Plan 9 from Outer Space and Manos the Hands of Fate ...

#6 "movies including The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day"

Those two titles shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Independence Day - great.

Tomorrow - dreck.

Ol' Roland's gone off the deep end; can't tell if it's because he became a Warmenist fanatic, or he had a ~~head injury~~ series of small strokes.

#7 The long counting of the Maya calender ends in 2012... and then begins anew, like it has done before.

Yes, but THIS TIME it's rolling over the same creation date as the end of the previous world!! AND it's happening on a winter solstice (which the Maya always considered to be BAD NEWS....) Fear! Fire! Foes! RUN AWAY!!
