Is this one number two or number three?

[Scuddie]

What is this?  Another ****ing made for TV movie?  When, for the love of God, will they stop making these things?  Retarded monkeys can make better scriptwriters, actors, and directors!

[Kosh]

I think this one was made for the cinemas, and there is also another one called just 2012 being made by roland emmerich. There was a really crappy made for tv christian 2012 doomsday movie. That makes three so far.


Now that 2012 is getting closer the internet is heating up with junk about it, whipping as many people up into a frenzy like Y2K. This is just hollywood trying to ride the wave and make a quick buck.

Always the problem with Prophecies is that if enough people think they are true, then they will make it self-fulfilling.

If you have a President who believes that this is the End-Times, then he/she is going to be that tiny bit less restrained on the Big Red Button, especially if they think it will earn them 'God Brownie Points'.

That's why, in my opinion, it's so Vital to keep religion away from Politics, and to keep Sarah Palin (who does believe we are in the End-Times) away from that damn button.

[Polpolion]

Question: Are the scenes and actors supposed to suck so much?

EDIT: I wonder if it would be possible to trick the people that think the world will end in 2012 into killing themselves on New Years Eve, 2011.

[ShadowGorrath]

If you search for that 'nibiru' crap, you'd find a hell lot of videos with it, all about the end of the world. And people actually believe that.

Somehow, this entire video seems like it's no movie, but just another fake video created by a few people who believe in such "OMG IT'S TEH END OF ZE WORLD!!!1!" crap.

Oh, hey, tricking people to commit suicide on 2011-12-31 would be a good idea. That way we get rid of those end of the world "prophecies", and probably even solve the economic crisis if we're lucky. Everyone wins!

Hokay, so...

That has got to be a parody. Nobody writes dialogue or acts like that.

Check out that that link, i'm not sure what the author want to say with it but...hey, it fits the thread

A Brief History of the Apocalypse

Lists just about every doomsday prophecy ever made, from 2800 BC to now. Strangely enough, we're still here. This one is perhaps the most accurate:

ca. 4,500,000,000 AD      The sun will swell into a red giant star, swallowing Mercury, Venus, Earth, and perhaps Mars.

Do you think Duke Nuke 'em Forever is released by then?
Would be a shame, we wait 4,500,000,000 years for it, they release it and before anyone can finish the first level, the sun blows up.

Sol would (most likely) slowly expand in that case, not rapidly.

I would hope that we (we being humans) would have some form of extra-terrestrial settlements in place, by that time.

actually, 2 billion years later earth tectonic plates will stop and eventually Earth will look like mars.

Would that be before, or after, the Second Coming of the Great Prophet Zarquon?

[Grimper]

I didn't really know what everyone was talking about, so I did some research.
I found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012#2012_metaphysical_speculations

Apparently its to do with some stuff from the Mayan calender and possibly the alignment of the earth, sun and the center of the milky way which is mentioned somewhere else in that article.

Heres some nice things that are supposedly going to happen:

• The Testament song "3 Days in Darkness", off of The Gathering album is a song about 2012, and speaks of the earth being swallowed in molten fire.
• Philip J. Fry's dog Seymour dies in this year.
• The 1997 book The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, an asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
• The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
• Riley Martin claims that Biaviian aliens will allow passage aboard their 'Great Mother Ship' when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012.
• Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.
• The Hed PE song "I.F.O." (to be found on their self-titled album), which is about UFO sightings and governmental conspiracies to cover them up, references the year 2012: "Prepare to meet your maker in the skies over the pyramids / Check Stonehenge / Go ask the Mayans / 2012 soon come / I will be waitin' sayin' I told you so / When the skies are ripped open / And the mothership lands on your cynical ass".

Yey fun fun.




EDIT: They want us to donate to a crackpot so he can continue his radio show about aliens from outer space.

http://www.payriley.com/

Heres a quote from the website:

"That fateful night; two aliens took little Riley on his first trip to their mothership near Saturn. Riley's second trip was when he was 18. It was on this trip that they placed a strange looking headset on him... then in a matter of seconds download into his brain... 144,000 different symbols...then while Riley slept they downloaded the history of humanity, alien insights, and a whole lot more. Riley made friends with this little alien he calls Tan. O-Qua Tangin Wann.

Now he is perhaps the last best hope for the human race. If the powers that be in this world would just pay some attention to the information he puts out every Tuesday night, we just may have a chance to avoid killing ourselves along with the whole planet. "

More quotes, from wikipedia this time:

"Third Episode May 8, 2006: Martin put forth the idea that alien pioneers came to the Earth in prehistoric times and wiped out the dinosaurs with nuclear weapons, making room for our mammalian ancestors. Martin also plugged his hand drawn symbols, which are available for purchase at his website[5] and can allegedly be used as "tickets" to ride in the mother ship when the Earth is destroyed in 2012."

"Tenth Episode October 31, 2006: In response to a question from regular Stern Show caller Hook Nose Mike, Martin defended his translation of the African sound byte that Sal the Stockbroker called in to prank him, explaining that the African language the sound bite is in ultimately derives from the Atlantean language, as Martin originally identified it."

"Other notable appearances on Sirius

Meet the Shrink

    * On April 3, 2006, Martin appeared on an episode of the Sirius radio show Meet the Shrink, which featured an unusual therapy session. Martin spoke of his paranormal experiences and ideas and did a great deal of flirting with the therapist, Leslie Armstrong, who openly supported his paranormal ideas and seemed to enjoy his flirting. Stern and cast criticized Armstrong for flirting and enabling his beliefs in aliens rather than helping him."
(the shrink needs a shrink)

"Martin claims that these aliens, flying aboard 'The Great Mother Ship' to which he is taken every time he is willingly "abducted," have given him this knowledge so that he can produce and sell hand-drawings of these symbols, which will allow passage aboard the Mother Ship when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012. Martin claims that each symbol is uniquely tuned to its buyer. Martin did however say on the 29 November 2006 Howard 101 program that “You don’t exactly have to have one of my symbols in order to go,” and stated further that some symbol owners would have their personal reasons for not going, and some Earth populace who had never heard of Riley might be offered the opportunity to participate in the potential airlift. Riley's official website has become the primary platform from which he sells his symbols, the audio book (in his own stentorian voice), a soulful CD of '90’s music, and other articles such as Cherokee Nation headbands and talking bobbleheads."

Whilst the laws of physics are pretty good at predicting the future in a 'If you push a rock off a cliff, it will head downwards' sort of way, quite frankly, anything beyond that is 'astrology', which is another way of spelling 'bollocks'.

Chicken entrails in the sky, amazing after all these years that we still fall for it.

[StarSlayer]

I've seen better acting in a used car dealership TV adds.  In fact I was waiting for some spastic fella in a cheap suit with a donkey to jump out in the middle of it and tell me to come down to the auto mile for apocalyptic deals on this barely used Nissan Stanza.

[Grimper]

Heh I trolled it as well. So far it's me, aard and flipside bagging it.

Yey

[Kosh]

I'm just surprised Scientology hasn't jumped onto this yet, everyone else with a religious agenda to push or a buck to make seems to be on the bandwagon.
