2012: The movie - General - Facepunch Forum

I like films like this, who cares if the story is stupid, it looks cool. But ... only if the trailer was a bit more exciting :sigh:

[b]They wouldn't[/b] :tinfoil:

Oh boy the end of the mayan calendar. I swear some hollywood writers are :emo: I just don't see why they're getting so worked up over this. [QUOTE=Lankist]It's only been nine years since the Y2K panic. Do we really need another instance of this bullshit?[/QUOTE] Exactly.

It's only been nine years since the Y2K panic. Do we really need another instance of this bullshit?

I don't understand people who are pissed about making a movie revolving around something that will never happen. What do you think about Star Wars, about Day after Tommorrow, about Armageddon? Word you're looking for is fiction. They are simple cashmilking the 2012 hype.

[QUOTE=furious_d]saw this trailer when i saw The Spirit (terrible movie) and couldn't believe people were making a movie on this. Hollywood has seriously run out of ideas for a movie.[/QUOTE] You'd best be trolling boy.

Great, I'm sure 2012 needs more advisement, I can say for sure, I will not be seeing this movie and I can only hope it crashes and burns.

I thought this movie was going to be about the Olympics :(

Will you cunts stop with the Hollywood sucks bandwagon? Why don't you fucks go make a movie yourselves. snobs. [b][highlight](User was banned for this post (Reason: Flaming) [event] 153618 [/event])[/highlight][/b]

People making a special effects-laden feature film about a subject that will gain interest and result in them making some money and perhaps giving some consumer satisfaction? Wankers

You guys have no idea what this movie is about yet so don't start slagging it off.

[QUOTE=psychokilled] Anyone see Armageddon with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck? Cool idea horrible execution. [/QUOTE] EXACTLY what I thought. High Five!

[QUOTE=Solidax]Was there mass rioting and hysteria when the world was 'supposed' to end in 2000?[/QUOTE] there was mass hysteria, mainly because the flames of idiocy were fanned by every other company coming out with a "y2k compliant" product.

[QUOTE=09er]there was mass hysteria, mainly because the flames of idiocy were fanned by every other company coming out with a "y2k compliant" product.[/QUOTE] It was very quiet hysteria.

[QUOTE=Solidax]Was there mass rioting and hysteria when the world was 'supposed' to end in 2000?[/QUOTE] Yeah, like that "Millenium problem" which was supposed to cause computers worldwide to go batshit. The fuck was up with that, a computer just counts further like it's supposed to do damnit.

Well it's official, Hollywood knows how to make money off of anything.

Yay another movie like the Day After Tomorrow!

[QUOTE=chris0132]It was very quiet hysteria.[/QUOTE] yeah but it still shows that a good percentile of the population is gullible enough to swallow that shit, so I think something similar will hapopen in 2012

[QUOTE=chris0132]It was very quiet hysteria.[/QUOTE] i'd say mittelgross hysteria

It tells you to google 2012 ahaha

It's Nibiru.

[QUOTE=Luke-NAESA]It's Nibiru.[/QUOTE] What the fuck is a Nibiru? I've been hearing references to it, can't seem to find a straight answer.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus]What the fuck is a Nibiru? I've been hearing references to it, can't seem to find a straight answer.[/QUOTE] It sounds like some sort of Japanese car.

[QUOTE=Xmeagol]Will you cunts stop with the Hollywood sucks bandwagon? Why don't you fucks go make a movie yourselves. snobs.[/QUOTE] Good sir I am a dick not a cunt. I am outraged by this.

:20bux: says the entire movie is about global warming

[QUOTE=Arachnidus]What the fuck is a Nibiru? I've been hearing references to it, can't seem to find a straight answer.[/QUOTE] Some Rogue planet, also known as planet X. It doesn't exist. It was thought there was another planet that effected the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, but it couldn't be found. It just turned out later that our maths was wrong and the orbits weren't being affected. That was years ago, but conspiracy theorists think it's there and NASA is hiding it. Religious fanatics think demons live on it. They think it'll pass by earth in 2012 and demons will come down on flying saucers and kill us all. Seriously.

All the shit about 2012 and all the people who say anything of any sort happening is impossible.. I think you might be wrong. I'm not going to put to much stock into the whole world ending scenario, but there are a lot of corresponding theories and things stating the exact same time in 2012. The movie trailer there did have one thing right I think, if any of this shit were to happen, do you really think the governments going to tell you so early or just wait it out and profit off of it? Probably the latter. My main problem here is that people hear a conspiracy theory and immeadiatly write it off as an impossible and all this other shit saying how no way in hell could our government, or our planet really have anything of a traumatic wide scale event ever happen. I'm pretty sure, had we been around in the dinosaur age, we would have said the same thing all the way up to the time the meteor hit just to save face. As far as planet Niribu goes, it's supposed to have this near impossible orbit and at December 21 2012 it's going to impact with earth.. That's one theory I'm very fucking sure could never happen without us already knowing about. However, the logical theory I've heard proposed to deal with 2012 is the galatic equator. Simply, we are on the south side of the galactic equator and on 2012, after some great numbers of years(Probably well into the billions of years) ago change back to the north side of the galatic equator, this may sound like practically nothing occouring for us earthlings, but what would happen under this circumstance is that the poles on earth would suddenly switch, triggering massive amounts of global earthquaking and tectonic shifting as well as volcanic spewing of an epic amount. Whether or not this will happen, I can't say, but I don't think it's smart to write off every little bit of conspiracy theory/hair brained idea as complete idiocy.

[QUOTE=09er][b]THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE[/b][/QUOTE] Not quite.. I haven't ever heard they believe that. They do believe shit as equally bat shit insane though.

Something that big doesn't go undiscovered by the civilian populous. Also, a pole switch wouldn't result in global earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. And Nibiru would've been discovered a LONG time ago. We identified almost all of the planets in the solar system by 1930. One wouldn't slip by us that easily, especially in recent years.

I remember hearing something a few years back about the theory that "Planet X" flung an asteroid towards the Earth about 65 million years ago, and as it turns out, it killed the Dinosaurs, but this theory has since been debunked as absolute bull shit. Shaun of the Dead satire aside, I'm seriously laughing so bloody hard at how all the theorists behind the 2012 doomsday are all religious fanatics. Also, Spacecraft+Nuke=Scrap Metal.
