Are they creating awesome super-duper Noah's Arks in the movie? If it ends up being obscener than The Day After Tomorrow, with shit that's better than dumb winter survival shtick, and with stuff like great white sharks eating everyone after the tsunamis have wiped everything out (aside from TDAT's dumb escaped zoo-wolves...), I might as well watch it to have some brain-dead fun.

It did seem that vast amounts of MASSIVE ships were being built, and i'm sure i saw animals being loaded into it ;P

I guess they called it "2012" because "Holy Shit!: The Movie" wouldn't fly.

I doubt anyone not being able to figure out that it's a parody (even not having watched Tropic Thunder which I have) would have sufficient brainpower to log in to the forum.

The fake "Institute for Human Continuity" site is up as part of viral marketing efforts. It's a pretty cool site (although I still think the "District 9 Alien Blog" is better), although the science is, of course, entirely ridiculous for the most part.

Let's face it, nearly all disaster movies (the "nearly" is there in case of ones I haven't seen or known about) find a way to be scientifically absurd in some way or another. It's always been about whether the spectacle of the disaster and how the stars react to it is fun, interesting, or sufficiently Rule of Cool enough to be enjoyable.
Who even cares if the science and history sucks? its a disaster movie laden with special effects. Go in, turn your brain off and enjoy watching the Earth explode. It doesn't need to have a realistic or believable plot, other than 'Shit getting blown up'.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary. “

The visual effects look amazing. But I didn't like this movie when it starred Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal.
What's this? It's made by the same exact director? They even used TDAT as a marketing point! You would think he'd get bored of doing the same thing all over again.
I'll wait until November to see if this movie gets any positive buzz contrary to my expectations. BTW that Impact preview was hilarious. I'm no scientist but I'm pretty fucking sure gravity doesn't work like that.

That wonders for Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds as well.
Oh wait...
I actually liked that film a lot - I thought Cruise, his son, and his daughter all did a good portrayal of different ways that people might react to something like that happening (regardless of how ridiculous the science was).

I thought WOTW was pretty well-made. But my God were Tom Cruise's kids annoying. Especially the son. What a whiny, ungrateful little douche.

I don't know of anyone who was actually happy when that kid implausibly turned up alive at the end.

I wasn't either, but I interpreted as his son reacting in a certain way to something that was completely beyond him - defiantly (albeit irrationally), just like the father's reaction was to run and hide, and the daughter's was to scream and cry.
