The Day After The Day After Tomorrow

2012 teaser trailer, you guys:

Haha. They wouldn't. The End. That was such a short movie!

"How would the governments of our planet prepare 6 billion people for the end of the world?" HOPEFULLY NOT WITH ONE BELL HIDDEN IN SOME MOUNTAIN SOMEWHERE. I feel like Kevin Kline in Dave. What? Government is stupid? Why don't you just NOT do that. Ding dong, I'm a genius. I hope the President never comes out of his coma. Just in case, someone should probably travel to Tibet and teach the monks about holding televised press conferences. BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. Find out the truth, Tibet. Google search: effective methods of communication.

"They wouldn't." Because no one should have to live through Sarah Palin's 2012 presidential campaign.

Yeah, I think they meant, "Google paranoid shitstorm."

Am I the only one who appreciates this trailer for its pure artistic value? Avalanche transforming into a tidal wave accompanied with creepy synthesizer music has to be the most perfect thing I've seen today. Props to the video editors and sound designers.

I have to admit, I'm really fascinated by all the planet X bullshit, even though it's completely based on false information and misunderstandings of mayan culture, but hey... it still makes for really awesome science fiction. I hope they didn't screw this up.

Adam, it's a homage to/rip-off of this one for the Shining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6qDqdYY6-Y

my best friend is always talking about the whole 2012 thing and how all the people who are ready will ascend to the next spiritual level and the rest will...i don't know. rot on a fucked up earth? basically sounds like the hippie rapture to me, but whatever. i'm not clear what happens to those who aren't ready for the ascension, but she's clear we will be ascending (obvs.)
it's totally embarrassing, because she talks about it like FACT, like global warming and evolution, as opposed to a really funny, wing nut theory, which is totally cringe- inducing and also makes me love her even more.
she's so funny and cute!
but seriously, i feel like the tibetans should have gotten the bell ringing started a little sooner because that's not nearly enough time to get out of that place in time to avoid a tidal wave.
i don't know that monks are who i would want in charge of the emergency warning system anyway. they tend to be pretty methodical and slow for my tastes. i'm fine with a bit more hurrying when it comes to the end of the world.
