I went through a phase where I watched all the 2012\/Mayan Calendar\/Mega Disaster shows on the National Geographic and Discovery channels.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you watch enough science shows about mega-earthquakes and mega-tsunamis you can overcome the need to sleep all the way through the night forever!  You will have so much more time on your hands to worry about how well-stocked your bomb shelter is.  My bomb shelter is full of Effen Black Cherry Vodka, Cool Ranch Doritos, Super pretzels and Nacho cheese, and cyanide pills.  I figure any disaster that would make me wait in the bomb shelter long enough to get sick of this fine spread isn&#8217;t going to be something I want to survive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the point is I can&#8217;t wait to see 2012.  I&#8217;m assuming at some point Cusack will call upon his classic &#8220;Say Anything&#8221; acting style and Amanda Peet &#8211; a known badass &#8211; will karate chop someone.  I&#8217;ve watched all the trailers and teasers I can find and there&#8217;s clearly a place that will save the family from doom.  I just can&#8217;t figure out where their destination is if the ground is detaching from the earth&#8217;s core.  Are they flying to a special sky city?  I think I would have seen a show about that on NatGeo if it already existed.  I saw the one about the floating city.  And will John Cusack and Amanda Peet fall back in love??  I hope so, because a disaster movie without love is like cheese-fries without the cheese.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nBecause I&#8217;m phobic about strange crowds and annoying people, I may have to wait to see this movie when it comes to my local video store.  Or maybe I could take a sick day from work and see a matinee.  Really, I could take the day off to see the movie and cite religious reasons.  I don&#8217;t believe in the apocolypticism that was used for 2012, but I am really paranoid.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am really intregued by the previews for the movie 2012.
