And Cell...STOP CALLING HIM A HACK!!! Dam it!
Emmerich isn't a "hack." He just isn't that great with storytelling, and a lot of filmmakers aren't(ahem Michael Bay ahem), but that doesn't mean they're hacks. Every director has a signature...his is destroying the world in his films. Emmerich's "Godzilla" was the first movie I ever saw in a theater...I was five. At the time, it was the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. I STILL like the movie(one of the few), and I say that as a Godzilla fan with almost all the original movies where he spent his days terrorizing Tokyo and battling other monsters.
I kind of got off topic: the POINT is that you're just a narrow-minded idiot, cell. Did you ever stop to ask yourself that maybe these movies and directors aren't bad, it's just that you're a bad critic and a complete sack of shit? If not, I suggest you take time away from fondling yourself enough to ask yourself that question.
not something I would see! Hated "Day After Tomrrow" ..laughable mess...& "Independence Day" (1996)was just shit!! Worst films of 1996. It should have recvd the Razzie for Worst Picture & Worst Director Roland Emmerich!
I GOOGLED "2012" AND WELL NOTHING ...WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP!!! THE ONLY THING IT LED ME TO WAS THE THE "2012" MOVIE WEBSITE....
BUT AFTER MUCH DIGGING:
2012 is claimed by some with New age beliefs to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or alternatively an apocalypse). There is disagreement among believers as to whether 2012 will see an end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level!
I think it's fine filmmakers want to cash in on the end of the world. It makes for a good movie...hopefully. As for the world actually ending on that date, if it does, it won't be because of some natural disaster magnified a 1,000 times, it'll be because of our own doing.
Emerich has the right concept and he's good at making natural disasters(especially tidal waves), but if Hollywood wants to get a message across instead of just making money off of it with a special effects blow out, they should depict war and famine, people fighting in the streets, all of that. This movie will get the date in our heads, but it'll only make us marvel at effects like every other movie, it won't make us think. That's what I want out of an end-of-the-world movie: a story that might actually get people think about thier crappy lives and how they ruin other people's crappy lives. "Hey, if we don't shape up, we might bring an end to us."
In short, depicting the world will end because of nature's doing won't have an effect on us; depicting the world will end because of our doing, just might...and documentaries from Michael Moore or "An Inconveniant Truth" don't count.
However, with Roland's track record, we should expect terrible acting, a cheese-dick story and some ridiculous sub-plot.
I really hope I'm wrong, but I guess we'll have to wait and see...
"Hey, let's stop the calendar right here, and people living in the future will think it's the end of the world...won't that be great! HAHAHA...
When our sun evolves into a red giant, THAT will be the end of the world. 600 million + years to go.
all I wanna say is that colombia pictures was crappy by doing this because the company must know how many people will they scare by this more than the people who actually know this shit like me or you.
so i really have to say one thing to colombia pictures for this.
GO FUCK YOURSELVES THIS WILL BE SHITTY AS HELL.
remember 1998?? when people of NYC busted Mama Godzilla's ass?? he's son was like "oh no they di'int??!!"... now he's back, bringing vengeance with him..
Also in reference to the Mayan calender ending, so what, it has done it before and will do it again.
NEVER EVER trust Wikipedia
moviebuff, i do believe that there is diffrence between the day after tomorrow and this the basic is still the same.
mary 323: siriously you believe this shit. all I know is that I am supposed to live my life and the day that I will die i'll either go to heaven or earth, and siriously you should loosen up a little, because they did this shit from before in fact everyone wants to beleive that the end of the world is somewhere close to see what would it actually look like. but the actual thing is: NOBODY KNOWS WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AND HOW IT WILL. it's all in GOD's hands.
HESSIAN: you should really look for the fact that this future could be close and could be far away and mabey could be in 2012. nodocy really knows when it comes to us.

but Why THE FUCK IS EVERY FUCKIN MOVIE ABOUT THE FUCKIN END OF THE FUCKIN WORLD. PEOPLE IHAVE ALREADY SAID MY WORD. I STILL WILL WATCH IT but FUCK IT. I mean people why is every movie in the world is supposed to be about the end of the world and i don't need to list more, if it is because of a disease, an alien attack or fuckin whatever. DON"T FUCK WITH MOTHER EARTH.
