Funny review of 2012 : The new movie

I love the way he describes the cliches.
You know those scenes that play out in every action movie made since 1980? The ones where the bus jumps the broken bridge? Or a man falls over the edge and everyone thinks he's dead—but it's okay because a single hand suddenly appears, clinging to the cliff? Or how about the plane that's trying to escape from an explosion and gets enveloped in smoke – only to come bursting out with impossible speed? What about the eleventh-hour miscalculation that results in the timer speeding up towards impending disaster? Then there's the grandpa with regrets, the 'ultimate sacrifice' guy, the wormy scientist who makes good, the noble daughter who outlives the father, the divorcee who falls back in love, the evil rich dude, the ethnic stereotype village, the holy man on the mountain, the beauty queen with the handbag dog, the dude with two day's pilot training who must repeatedly fly everyone to safety at street level, through a collapsing city? What about the obligatory heroic kid, or the water escape scene, the tacked-on happy Hollywood ending where it's all sunshine and laughing and nobody really feels too remiss about the death of 5.9 billion people?

I just wish 2012 would get here for real so all the conspiracy nut jobs could shut the fuck up. I probably just know the wrong people.

I remember thinking the same thing around Y2K.

There'll just be another, next date anyway, so i guess we should get used to the nonsense.

I saw the trailer for this last week, looks like another special effects overload movie with lame characters but I will still probably end up watching it :lol:

After reading that, I want to see this. From that description, it sounds like the closest thing we'll ever get to River Tam Beats Up Everyone...
