    Damn it. When I read this title I seriously thought it was referring to a sequal to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Yeah, I know. But there were a few more books in the series after 2010, and I couldn't remember exactly what the years for those were. So in the movie section I see something called 2012 - that's where my mind went.

    Heh, I watched the trailer yesterday and it Piqued my interest; I thought it had a nice execution. There isn't enough information about this film (besides its breif description) out to even warrent a "This will be Shit" reaction from me. Plus, the very mention of John Cusack and major host of other actors I enjoy watching on screen is enough to make me wonder if it shall be worth watching.

    You'll be sitting in that lawnchair for nearly a year, as the prediction is based on the end date of the Mayan Calendar, which is December 21st, 2012.

    IIRCC, the Mayans did exactly predicted the end of the world. If I remember they predicted that this world would end and a new one would begin.

    Funny thing, Sir Issac Newton predicted that the world would end in 2063. So, who´s right?

    It´s sad that we, the human race, have become this obessed with the end of the world, that we lost our wish for a better tomorow. Where is a bold vision for a better future? I´m tired of this kind of pessimistc crap. Jesus.H.Christ, there´s gotta be at least ONE positive prophecy in the untold millenia of human history.
