Jaguar Smoke Jaguars Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 424 Joined: May 6, 2009 Either the movie ends with everyone dying or the movie ends with a few survivors of all nations gathered together in a new world looking at the rising sun together as a message of hope and unity of humanity in the aftermath of something that affects us all. Also, the only reason the Mayans stopped at that date is because they had no reason to go beyond that - their calender system ends there because they were already using very high number symbols. It'd be like saying the world ends in 9999 simply because we don't usually bother with 5 digit years. Or, if you want to be even more accurate, 2012 was only important to those pre-Columbian Mayan civilizations because it marked the end of a 5000+ year cosmic cycle. But beyond that, it had no significance to them, most likely. Just when one cycle ends and another begins. ......................... vet Posted Jun 19, 2009, 2:50 am Last edited Jun 19, 2009, 2:52 am by Jaguar

*Chase Bansi* Team Bansi Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 693 Joined: Aug 13, 2007 I admit it, I am a doomsdayist. I grew up near the Hopi Indian reservation and they have a similar 'end of times' scenario, that coincides with the same time frame. Add in the prophecies of Nostradamus and a few other cultural myths and there is some validity to the 2012 date. Or it's all complete coincidence. In any case I am torn between my basic survivalist instinct with our overly romanticized view of a post apocalyptic world and an almost suicidal desire to be at ground zero of whatever the disaster is. Don't forget the Yellowstone caldera is at the end of it's 62,000 year cycle. ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Jun 19, 2009, 2:19 pm

That's precisely my point; it's perhaps The most internationally recognizable landmark, hence it's usage as that device. It's become a joke in our family; to quote my wife while watching The Happening: "Yup, there's the Eiffel Tower.  They're f***ed now."  *earlier I meant 28 Weeks Later.  Me brain got confused with the 48 Hours movies.  ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jun 20, 2009, 9:40 am

You could prank people by putting the DVD of it in a bag, setting it on fire, and throwing on someone's porch. Then when they come out they'll step in it trying to put out the fire! Anyway 2012 looks like mindless drivel but the special effects look awesome. I think the tidal wave/aircraft carrier sequence alone would be worth seeing. Though I wish sometimes Hollywood would concentrate on the story for a change... PS - Alot of the Hopi Indian "prophecies" were written circa 1959 after most of it went down. Sadly probably fake, much like the emotionally powerful letter from Chief Seattle to George Washington. ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted Jun 21, 2009, 4:19 am
