You can see both (if you choose) at www.worstpreviews.com.
Well I googled 2012, and the most prominent thing I got was the wikipedia entry. It says:
Showing that having alternatives isn’t always a good thing in and of itself, because sometimes they suck.
:eek:
Gurren Lagann beat you to it.
Well, the trailer is a bit misleading in that respect; that particular Tibetan Buddhist lamasery is actually located along U.S. Route 101, a few miles north of the Route 26 interchange near Cannon Beach, OR.
Word on the street is that this movie is the unofficial prequel to Waterworld.
Oh dear, thanks for calling that website to my attention.
How about that, Underworld spawned a prequel! It’s amazing how far werewolf hair-rendering has advanced in 5 years. Frankly I saw no point to even attempting CGI werewolves if you couldn’t even give them a decent coat of hair. The Harry Potter movie from that year had the exact same problem. Bald werewolves are just sad.
I see that Bill Nighy is still on board with that series. The first Underworld was kind of a major turning point in his career, wasn’t it? I wonder if he realized when he was cashing that paycheck that he’d be essaying the role of a squid-human hybrid in a few years.
I always thought the black guy as president was to show that this was taking place in the future, where such things would be possible.
There was The Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505 and the world was suffering a severe drought from using Brawndo (with electrolytes) to irrigate their crops because they thought that’s what they crave.
We were having an in-class discussion in high school about the various weird flunky ideas the CIA has come up with (supposedly they tried to kill Castro with an exploding cigar. That would have been something.) Someone asked why the CIA never seemed to get anything right, and our teacher pointed out that if and when the CIA did pull off some secret plot, of course nobody would hear about it.
So yeah, what better way to convince someone you’re not successfully covering anything up than by throwing a bunch of red herring decoy plots out there to make you look like an idiot?
Just throwing that out there to mess with your heads 
There are certain things that it really doesn’t even make sense for the government to try to cover up, and the end of the world is one of them.
“If we let the public know about this, there’ll be worldwide panic; which means that traffic will be really, really bad on the day the world ends. Also, it could do irreparable harm to the international stock market. We could all lose our jobs.”
If you’re certain enough that the world is ending to organize a global conspiracy to cover it up, then you’re not going to spend your precious last days at the office guarding the conspiracy in the first place. Lots of government officials don’t have the moral fiber to avoid media scandals even during years when the world isn’t ending. Somebody’s bound to notice when the leaders of every nation on Earth simultaneously stop showing up for work, withdraw their life’s savings, and embark on a fact-finding tour of Amsterdam’s red-light districts.
Well, but to be fair … what else would they use?
Water?
Like in the toilet?
Seriously. I mean, Brawndo has electrolytes. It’s what plants need.
Actually, it was the President and Speaker, at a time when the Vice-Presidency was vacant.
I’m pretty sure Roland Emmerich is a left winger. Didn’t he also helm The Day After Tomorrow?
Sure but it was the Dick Chaney stand-in who somehow managed to be even more over-the-top evil than the real one in that, not Bush. 
I’d really be curious about his politics myself, since he also produced StarGate and it’s not-sequel, Independence Day, both movies prominently featuring the US military fighting overpowerful aliens (both also feature non-military nerds fighting overpowerful aliens and wooing beautiful women, so its not hard to see why these movies were successful sci-fi films:D)
Just a comment that “Day After Tomorrow” was adapted from Art Bell & Whitley Strieber’s “Coming Global Superstorm”. I think this one is based on Strieber’s
“2012: The War for Souls”.
“Flunky”? Funky. Toxic cigar, not exploding. Did your teacher talk about Chile or Iran?
Damnit, I just know my girlfriend will want to see this movie. She’s watches The Day After Tomorrow whenever it’s on cable, even though she acknowledges it’s laughably stupid.
The one thing Emmerich has done well is bring archetypal science fiction images to the screen – immense spaceships dropping down from above the clouds; Manhattan frozen in a new Ice Age. If they had good scripts, they’d be excellent movies.
Hah, no, but I’ve read about the strategic charlie foxtrot that was the various attempts to rescue the US Embassy hostages in Tehran. You ever hear about the plan to modify a C-130 with rocket packs to allow it to land and take off vertically in a soccer stadium? But I digress.
