That's what this shit is. It's there to get all the rich and important people off the planet when we nuke each other and our many new nuclear power stations get blown up by pyschotic terrorists.

If we weren't already (apparently) disarming the world nukes, i would be terrified by that statement oddjob.

OddjobAbe 11-09-2009 02:45 PM

It's a terrifying thought, and I truly fear that it may one day become reality. I fucking hope not.

Sekto Springs 11-09-2009 02:50 PM

Somehow I doubt we're in the process of 'disarming the world's nukes'.
We don't know where half of them are to begin with.

So once the proles have finally annihilated themselves and all the elitists are up in space, what then? Orgies until they run out of oxygen?

Sekto Springs 11-09-2009 08:06 PM

Sounds good to me.

Pilot 11-09-2009 08:50 PM

Pot.

No wait, they're rich. Cocaine.

fuck man....in Finland one of the presidents said they are build a underground area to save the important people of the country...like doctors and scientists.

I don't know man..maybe its a lie maybe not

Strike Witch 11-10-2009 02:05 AM

No way man....I heard in russia they're building oil wells and shit... well, there were these smart scientist guys once who went to the siberian snow fields??? they were doing all these scientific things and shit and like dug a hole into hell and heard people screaming and shit... crazy shit man

I don't know man..maybe its a lie maybe not

Abe Elum Slig 11-10-2009 03:19 AM

i don't...sometimes i think, this its just a question about propaganda, or another thing to alert the people, like tho movie An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, now we have the movie 2012, and the documentarys aboute the prophecy of Mayas, and China. But in the pass, most people said in 2000 becouse of the new milenium, the end of the world, and now they said 2012. i dont know

Oddey 11-10-2009 05:19 AM

If I had 4.4 million dollars... I might go. I wanna play tag, do a cartwheel, and flip around in space.

Mac Sirloin 11-10-2009 10:07 AM

If I had 4.4 Million dollars I'd just live in a fucking Winnebago for the rest of my life.

Also, important people of the country? Yeah. Doctors for sure, but tradespeople are who we're going to need when the end comes.

shaman 11-10-2009 10:08 AM

Very little of the above conversation has taken into consideration that we might survive...

There's a bit of a difference between An Inconvenient Truth, (which is a documentary that shows actual trends in our current global climate, and produces empirical data for the reasons the trends are happening), and documentaries that are made with the sole purpose of capitalizing on people's curiosity for doomsday prophecies. These documentaries about the Mayan calender are simply people putting forth conjecture on how such a thing could possibly come true.

OddjobAbe 11-10-2009 11:03 AM

An Inconvenient Truth must have been the goriest film I ever saw.

Mac Sirloin 11-10-2009 12:04 PM

I really want to see 2012, but just because it looks like such a big mess of shit falling apart.
But the last movie he made is just fucking retarded.

Wings of Fire 11-10-2009 12:07 PM

He really doesn't have a good track record with movies at all.

Stargate: Bad
Independance Day: So bad it's good
Godzilla: So bad it's terrible
Day After Tomorrow: Urgh...

OANST 11-10-2009 12:09 PM

It's a definite miss for me.

Mac Sirloin 11-10-2009 12:33 PM

I like The Day after Tomorrow. At least I think I do.

I haven't seen it in like three years.

Sekto Springs 11-10-2009 02:03 PM

Wow, judging by his gambit of films, this guy must really want the world to end.

The Day After Tomorrow
was one of those films that tried and failed to scientifically explain the events happening. 2012, at least I hope, won't bullshit us and focus more on the 'what' as opposed to the 'why'.

Actually, I don't care. I'm not seeing it. Ever since the death of Don LaFontaine, movie trailers like this are just totally unimpressive. What I would give to hear him deliver a cheesy line like "The Mayans tried to warn us..."

Mac Sirloin 11-10-2009 05:31 PM

Apparently they already have a planned sequel to 2012 that's basically a huge rip off of District 9.

Sekto Springs 11-10-2009 05:36 PM

So 2012 is caused by aliens?

Mac Sirloin 11-10-2009 05:38 PM

No they...come down to Africa to help us or some shit.

Sekto Springs 11-10-2009 05:47 PM

I don't think anything with John Cusack has a sequel.

lol "1409. If you thought 1408 was scary..."

Anonyman! 11-14-2009 02:47 PM

i didnt read most of the thread but mayans didnt say the world ends in 2012. thats when they reset their calender. its like daylight savings time
