I personally believe it is all a giant cover up.

2012 is reminiscent of yesteryear ’80s shlock-tastic blockbusters — total popcorn entertainment with ridiculous dialogue and impossible situations and special effects that will boggle the brain for a good two-plus hours.

G’day!

Let’s call it what it is, disaster porn. A dirty little thing that many of us like to watch.

Like most Hollywood it has nothing to do with your life, what your life could ever be like, or how life ever actually happens. I have heard some REALLY bad things about this movie though and it seems many of your commenters agree.

Still, let’s keep it our dirty little secret and go give it a watch when we can.

Have a good apocalypse!

Saw it a couple of days ago and laughed my socks off almost from beginning to end. Cried as well. I have never seen such astonishingly amazingly ingenious special effects technology put to work in the service of a more facile, banal, excruciatingly stupid plot in my entire life. There’s something quite horrifying about the juxtaposition of such technical sophistication and such philosophical poverty in the same department. Sharon’s point about the dangers of this is well made. Actually, thinking about that angle, I suddenly feel quite ill… this movie should come with a credibility warning and a sickbag.

Sorry, I meant that last post to be addressed to Karen. But I do agree, watch They Live if you’ve never seen it. Well worth it.

MEA-

They Live is one of my favorite flicks of all time, despite its absurdly over-the-top campyness (intentionally done, I believe, and part of the genius).

It’s also shockingly relevant to what’s going on today…. maybe even more so.

Deb — thanks. I’ll give it another go as I’d like to see AGRO get its turn.

MEA–The Last Centurion is definitely the opposing view. He does make a couple points I thought interesting later on–the distribution of the food and the absolute ignorance of the corporate farmers in the wake of a climate disaster and rampant hunger. I read everything–keep your friends close and your enemies closer…
