bet you've seen the posters - Aerial views of major cities crushed by a variety of natural disasters, giant waves rushing over the highest peaks of the Himalayas, and the headline "We Were Warned" above an enormous number 2012 written in a silver font that is both metallic and stone-like at the same time. It all looks pretty exciting (who doesn't get a vicarious thrill out of having a Godzilla's eye-view of our civilization's demise?), but what exactly is going on here? Well, 2012 is a flashy, big-budget disaster movie due to be released on November 13, 2009; according to a wave of advance publicity materials the film's premise focuses on a small band of humans struggling to survive in the aftermath of an enormous global apocalypse. But why would god end the earth? all the kids all the stuf we still have to lern why?
