The End of the World... maybe..

      So I was flipping through the movie channels pissed off because I have an ancient TV and I couldn't get it to switch inputs so I could watch Season 5 of Criminal Minds, and I came across the movie 2012. Now I had seen it before but I also do like an end of days movie and this one had really good graphics. Now I know what some people will say.. oh it was dull.. or I didn't like it, but you are just lacking in vision unlike myself. A movie with John Cussack and Amanda Peet taking off in an airplane just as the earth implodes  beneath their feet what could be better? No really I'm asking? That's right you cant come up with anything... that I can hear that is.




 While watching this fantastic movie I started to think about the end of the world and how many varying ideas there are.. Now I base my opinions of such things on movies and I have decided I would rather be killed by say a big rock falling on my head, then have to run for my life while dodging fire balls or tsunamis or what ever else comes down the pike.. Now I say all this but I know that at the first sign of  natural disaster, alien invasion or Zombie outbreak.. I would be the first to grasp a shovel and fight. Of course according to the Mayan calendar we all only have a year until the end of the world.. Although other movies point us to a different end... The Core tells us the earth will stop spinning... Yeah right... The Day after tomorrow tells us that the icecaps are going to melt so fast that temperature is going to drop so fast causing flash freezing.. when? The Day after Tomorrow of course.



 Resident Evil tells us that a deadly virus will turn some into flesh eating Zombies who will eventually infect all those who have not watched any zombie movie and do not have the skills to defend themselves, or the slow and sickly. Of course I will make it to the end of that outbreak because according to a facebook quiz I took  told me I will survive... so thats that.



 Final Destination tells me that I am going to miss my date with death and run around for the next hour and a half until death does his job and I die in a messy yet ironic fashion. In Legion, God turns his back on his people and send his angels to kill all humans and kill and take over their bodies as they search for a random women who will give birth to a random son who will randomly save the world. Mark me down for not wanting that to happen....



oooh I had to end that one besue he is hot...  anyways I could go on and on about the various End of the World plots that tell us another possibility for our demise... or maybe not because in all of these movies there are survivors which technically wouldn't mean the end of the world.
