I know the movie "2012" will both be cool to watch and suck awesomely in its portrayal of reality. I know I’ll want to see it, just as I know I’ll want to destroy it without mercy in a review.
In the meantime, it may be hard to top this terrific edit of the movie’s trailer.
All I could think of while watching it was, "Mitchell!"

The video’s creator gave “2012″ exactly the treatment it deserves.
Disaster porn,
August 1st, 2009 at 7:54 am
Sweet. Cant wait for the movie. It’s like a car crash. You just cant look away.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:58 am
Best trailer ever.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:02 am
It appears “2012″ lacks the subtlety and sensitive character development of “Mitchell!”, the “Citizen Kane” of cop movies.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:06 am
This move needs to be seen in a drive in. Because I’m the type who loves to cheer mass destruction.
By Halford’s Shiny Head, this looks awesomely bad.

Just be careful, Roger Ebert ended up being lampooned as a character in Godzilla because he dared to criticize one of Roland Emmerich’s earlier movies. Beware the wrath of the pissed-off producer!

I am waiting for Leander to come and point out that we are very uncivilized and insensitive towards disaster victims.

I wonder if they asked the earth for forgiveness before laying waste to her cities? Did her horoscope say she was going to have a really bad day, or maybe it just might turn out a little inconclusive?
You know what would be fun? If the special effects guys just did their stuff, and the movie was called “Let’s watch everything get hosed!” and all the dumb characters and dialog and stuff were just left on the cutting room floor. Although, come to think of it…I guess you could say that about any Roland Emmerich movie.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:03 am
I was at the panel at the Comicon. Based on the footage I saw, anyone who could take anything serious from that movie is beyond all hope.
That being said…it looked real purdy!!!

As over-the-top as the trailer is, I have to say, there’s something strangely compelling about watching familiar landmarks get blown up. The neologism, “Disaster Porn” sums it up perfectly.
And, can you imagine being a digital effects designer or technical director on this film? It must have been a blast.

August 1st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
More seriously now…
…I’ve wondered if massive and tall buildings can pitch and roll like that. My understanding from the events of 9/11 that tall buildings don’t topple over like trees, but rather they implode into massive dust explosions as the supports and structures holding it up deteriorate in rapid succession. Though I could be wrong.
Great sound track by the way! Too bad it’s dubbed over. /sigh
August 1st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Wow. I’ve really missed watching disaster porn…oh, wait… how can I forget the 8 years of the Bush administration?
Nonetheless, I wonder if I can get permission to show that trailer when I give lectures about 2012 this fall? Could be funny.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Get over yourself,its a movie.
Btw
It`s spelled Bentley
Cool fx tho.

Hey BA,
Any chance you want to throw down on “Knowing”, sure it has the anti-skeptical plot, but at the END there’s a CME.

Loved that trailer, will be looking for the soundtrack on cassette at my local record dealer.
August 1st, 2009 at 6:02 pm

Speaking of Roland Emmerich and disaster movies, he’s set to do Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation.”
Yes, that “Foundation” and that Isaac Asimov.

I can’t believe that I just spent the last 90 minutes watching Mitchell. I really need to get a life.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Classic! That was funny!
Aha fresh (well reheated a minute or so in the microwave @least) Disaster Porn from the same guy that brought us ‘Independence Day’ & ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ more of the same massive destruction complete with the usual face-palming stack of science howlers, ridiculous plots and shallow characters you love to see perish!
Roll up, grab some popcorn & watch those suckers die ands landmarks shatter as Emmerich’s plastic facsimile of our world ends so terribly absurdly and unbelievably that you’ll wet yourself laughing! The Apocalpyse has never been so much fun!
@ Bahdum (aka Richard) 36 & 37 : Oh God no. Say it ain’t so! I love Isaac Asimov’s books and esp. the ‘Foundation’ series & I dread what that clown will make from it. That would just have to be a travesty – a scientific genius like Asimov who wrote intelligent, though provoking idea based novels having them turned into a movie by a producer who is famous for one note, dumb if fun & entertaining in a shallow “turn-brain-off-before -you-watch” fashion disaster porn FXT flicks. *shudder*
August 1st, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I think I’d rather invest my money in a good grapefruit spoon and dig my eyes out, than watch another “Apocalypse” rag….
I wonder just how many “2012 end o’ the world oh my” crapfests they can produce before midnight Dec 31st, 2012?
August 1st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I am going to assume this movie does not have a happy ending.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:25 pm
@ The Science Pundit,
I can’t believe that you think that watching Mitchell was a waste of time. I’ve been having some serious jones for old MST3K episodes, but have been a little ashamed to just go and watch them. This post of Phil’s gave me a valid excuse.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:37 pm
@ 33. Ben:
Um…thanks for posting that. I guess a partial retraction is in order. I still have to lear a lot about disaster porn physics. Scary clip though.
@ 36/37. Bahdum (aka Richard):
Oh dear.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Sorry to be a party-pooper, but since 2001 September the eleventh, I don’t find this sort of mindless visual FXT Disaster porn so “funny” anymore.
I really can’t watch this sort of “yay! How cool! That famous building / landmark is so totalled & all those people so dead! Hoorah, what’s the next thing to be violently destroyed!” without feeling a strong sense of unease and distaste.
Apparently, when movie-goers the world over saw images of the White House being blasted apart by aliens in ‘Independence Day 4′ they erupted in cheers. Now that was before 9-11 of course. (& BTW. I think the World Trade Centre was also destroyed in ID4 to a similar reaction.) And the world was “saved” in the end & there was a Hollywood B-grade “happy ending” – but the world’s major cities were still all wrecked and hundreds of millions if not billions of innocent people killed and the world as we know it utterly changed for the worse. Folks came out thinking “gee that was fun and entertaining” and in a brainless sort of way it was but … sheesh .. If you stopped to think about the implications for a second…
Yeah, its spectacular visually, yeah, its just a dumb movie but still … I am the only person to think Emmerich’s Disaster Porn genre is actually quite sick and disrespectful of Human life as well as / despite being so absolutely silly, shallow and implausible?
Maybe I need to lighten up or something but I, personally, do find this sort of thing and the idea that we are clearly meant to be sitting back and saying “Wow! Awesome destruction, Great FXT!!!” in such a mindless, juvenile fashion rather nasty and disturbing.
On what I guess you’d call the positive side, I think this movie while popularising the whole 2012 myth will also help discredit it because Emmerich’s Disaster porn drivel is just so silly and ridiculous.
Without meaning to hijack the thread in any way, I think ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ (TDAT) probably did a lot more harm than good to the idea of global warming and the cause of trying to take action against it. TDAT was billed, if I remember right, as a sort of semi-plausible, only slightly exaggerated, worst case scenario for the Anthropogenic Greenhouse Effect. (AGHE)
But, of course, what viewers got was pure Z-grade silliness and scientific nonsense worse even than the recent ‘Meteor’ movie. It made global warming look like a Godzilla monster movie, a B-grade Sci-Fi (NOT SF in this case but definitely “Sci-Fi”) piece of silliness that is never going to happen in the Real World as opposed to Emmerich’s Disaster Porn fantasising. Now given that the AGHE is, I am convinced, a very real and serious scientific threat that we do need to take seriously (unlike, say the aliens of ID4) I think that is a very bad thing.
I don’t know for a fact that anyone came out of the movie theatres after TDAT thinking “global warming what a joke” & I can’t say for sure that it influenced peoples thinking afterwards making them take global warming less seriously but, at some level, I fear it might have.
Anyway, my guess is that Emmerich’s 2012 movie which I safely predict will be a mindless bit of silly hokum with lots of destroyed landmarks and cities, a death toll in the zillions and a plot that’s missing in action will make folks worries over the 2012 nonsense seem plain silly – even to them. As the worry over Mayan prophecies about 2012 really *is* ridiculously dumb that is no bad thing!
OTOH, I agree with Flying sardines that Emmerich making a movie from Asimov’s ‘Foundation’series or producing a movie on any worthwhile or serious premise is an appalling idea. From what I’ve seen and heard of him the guy seems simply incapable of making anything other than B-grade (or lower) tripe on a A-grade budget and making Disaster Porn that leaves you less worried about the supposed menace than before you watched it – but still a bit unclean & uneasy over the idea that such nightmare scenarios are meant to be fun spectaculars.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Re : the difference between SF & Sci-Fi @ least as I see it (not that I came up with this distinction or anything , its pretty generally understood this way but for clarity’s sake) :
SF is the abbriev. for ‘Science Fiction’ – the good, serious or clever “science fiction” which is scientifically at least semi-reasonable; albeit sometimes granting the odd bit of techno-magic eg. FTL, time travel etc .. Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ series, Arthur C. Clarke’s ‘Space Odyssey’ series & Stephen Baxter’s ‘Manifold’ series are good examples of SF.
OTOH , “Sci-Fi” is the abbriev. for the bad science fantasy tripe – B-grade or below, usually just in movie or TV form, sometimes funny, sometimes so bad-its-funny schlock. ‘ID4′ is Sci-Fi as is ‘Meteor’, ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’ , etc ..
Hope I’m not belabouring the obvious too much here , my apologies if so.

I dunno .. does “it ends & we’re happy” count?
@ 45 Spectroscope:
Umm .. dude, I think that was, maybe, part of the point of the satirical clip the BA posted sending up the whole Disaster Porn thing?
Correct me if I’m wrong y’all, but I don’t think too many posters here will be cheering on the apocaplyse (fictional or real) and punching the air in joy and peeing ‘emselves with laughter as the catastrophes hit.
Also I don’t really think that response is intended by Emmerich however Z-grade the bloke is. Of course I could be wrong & that does depend on exactly how irritating and unsympathetic the movies characters are …
(Still disappointed Anakin Skywalker’s first act on becoming Vader wasn’t the leathal torture and dismemberment of the most annoying character in movie history – Jar Jar Binks.

Weirdly enough, on Sept. 11th 2001 when I turned on my TV expecting a Star Trek : Voyager episode & saw the World Trade Centre burning instead, my first thought was that the WTC attack was just some horrible “Disaster” movie like ‘Inferno’ or ‘Backdraft’. It took a while to sink in that it was real & then I was just stunned. I stayed up watching the rest of the night in a mixture of shocked disbelief and horror and concern for a few friends in New York.
(They were okay fortunately.)
Anyway, it does seem likely – crikey, its already the case – that when a real disaster occurs many peoples first thought is “… it was like something out of a movie.”
Just like the line there that : “This is the movie all disasters to come will be compared with .. ”
Not really sure what that says about us or whether we should be worried but .. anyway.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:42 am
Just watching the Christ the Redeemer and Saint Peter´s Cathedral getting snuffed like that gets a thumbs up from me. How about making a whole movie just about that?
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 am
Cool to watch??? Don’t you realize it’s the same movie Emmerich’s done at least twice already? Day after tomorrow wasn’t cool, so why would 2012?
Also wouldn’t thrashing it in a review be bit too easy? Try to find some good physics in it – now there’s a fun AND COOL challenge!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:40 am
My wife can’t watch movies like this anymore. After having our son, all she can think about is all the children & them never having a chance to grow up (even if its just a movie).
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:12 am
911 was practically like a hollywood/james bond movie plot. You have an evil mastermind, Bin Laden, who through his hate and obsession makes a coordinated, grandiose and highly visible attack against landmarks and innocent civilians. Even trying to attack the white house/congress. Unfortunately it did not have the hollywood ending since there was no Bond like character to stop it.

“If you were thrilled by “The Towering Inferno”… if you were terrified by “Earthquake”… then you will be SCARED SH!TLESS at the Samuel L. Bronkowitz production of “That’s Armageddon!”
By the by, if you want to see intelligent Science Fiction that cost less than the catering budget for “Transformers Two, Electric Boogaloo”, but still looks great, run don’t walk to see “Moon”. It stars Sam Rockwell as a lone technician on a Helium-3 refinery on the far side of the moon. He’s getting near the end of a 3-year hitch, and he finds out maybe he’s not alone after all — not including the station’s computer Gerty (voice by Kevin Spacey).
SEE THIS! The only demerit I give the film is the use of sound in a vacuum. Still, it’s an intelligent, moving film.

August 2nd, 2009 at 2:17 pm
If anything disaster-porn-fan-related came out of 9/11 it was the pubic understanding of skyscrapers collapsing. I’m sure many of us had wondered what it would be like if a skyscraper tipped over – say one of the towers into the other – but now we know that a skyscraper won’t stay intact to fully tip over like a pencil falling over. Once its center of gravity gets far enough out it completely falls apart. And the dust – good heavens I never thought of the huge clouds of dust that accompany the collapse – controlled implosions strip the buildings so there isn’t nearly as much.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 pm
@55/Kevin F.: Granted, it’s no skyscraper, but some buildings have surprising rigidity:

I just realized, this movie will feature “earth changes” as its main disaster.
Anybody remember that clunker of an idea. It was supposed to happen in 2000, but it didn’t happen.
I think earth change zealots will latch on to 2012, if they haven’t already.
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Ha that’s awesome! Me and my friends laughed uncontrollably at the preview for this when saw Transformers 2. Everyone else was probably angry at us but we couldn’t help it.
This reminded me of Mitchell too. I watched that MST3K last night as a matter of fact.

2012 a disaster? I suppose so… (depending on which political party you belong to…)
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
My problem is that I’m a sucker for eye-candy and special effects. And after seeing a trailer for “2012,” I feel like a mouse that has smelled the most wonderful, delicious cheese in the world, and it’s just waiting for me in that spring-loaded thingamajig in the corner. Yeah, I’ll probably go see “2012″ only for the special effects, but I’ll probably HATE myself afterwards.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I too thought that was an incredibly cool edit of the trailer, and I too will gladly go spend my hard earned dollars to see “2012,” assuming fully that I’ll only be disappointed in the end.
And I, too, was very happy to see a MST3K reference. Damn that show was great.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
For my taste the FX folks do not understand a very basic issue : big things seem to move slower (as the ice blocks in the glaciers that everybody thing are slow motion but are not) so they always speed to much and make the effect unbelievable (for me).

…saw the Emmerich 2012 trailer..I think we are up to something crucial here.In fact, It’s all cryptic info for most of the people.Hidden meanings everywhere.Emmerich points where no film director has ever pointed before: The day after movie…10,000 BC movie…And now this!!Its a trilogy,in fact.In “The day after movie”, he deals with the sudden climate change which can be caused by stopping the Gulf stream /in “10,000BC” , he is no more no less informing us of the Bauval / Gilbert / Hoagland thesis, that, Atlantis refugees who escaped the motherland flood were actually building the Pyramids ,forcing primitive tribes as slaves , who used mammoths to carry huge granite rocks to the Nile river , where the Sphinx and the Pyramids proudly still stand there, trying to pass their message of an older, greater past,to the younger generations,and even a possible warning for the next flood.This is depicted in Mayan calendars of course.And we^ve known of it for ages..And this is the message of the third movie – to complete the trilogy.In watching the 1st movie trailer, we , can clearly hear a bee hive sound in the beginning..So,for anyone who knows about it, that brings us to alleged Einstein statement about bees vanishing ..and the 4 years left for mankind after this event happens!Now this fact is all over the web for a couple of years and that’s even more strange..Even if its just an urban myth,the fact is, that, globally , the Bee hives are bein’ reduced by 70% according to our latest statistics.Maybe an effort to promote the idea of massive human devastation??Maybe.So that sound is really a clue , and it links to Einstein himself and Prof. Hapgood’s Earth crust displacement theory – that RhysBM so thoroughly analyses . A theory that Einstein himself totally approved and even strongly promoted in any level he could.Might that action by Prof. Einstein has lead to something bigger, involving e.g. government global conspiracy in hiding the TOTAL truth from the public about the forthcoming Great Flood??an Alternative 3 solution maybe?Mars and moon secret colonization efforts behind it??To me It s a possibility.And,given the facts ,its the ONLY possibility..and so, that last clue , finally unlocks the cryptic circle of Mr.Emmerich’s work: The man is into a mission ..and his message is simple.Pass the truth in such a way everyone should be informed and subconsciously ACCEPT it likewise…and doing nothing at all to avoid it..Reveal the facts smoothly,so that , anyone may see how futile any action to avoid the upcoming catastrophe really is..the movie deals with a very strong scenario.Earth crust displacement has occurred many times on our planet – and on Mars.Last time it happened nearly 10,000 yrs ago it caused devastating atmospheric conditions, leading to sudden climate shift,thus , resulting to the instant frost even of huge mammoths during feeding time..and the Noah flood for 40 days and nights.With huge tidal waves being caused by the inertia phenomenon .And the fact that, the Earth Poles are closer to the planetary center by 12 Kilometers in comparison to the Equator.A flattened Earth.So even a slight core displacement of one to 5 or 6 degrees from the current position can cause such catastrophic change of relative altitudes ,that regions can be permanently covered by water – as others will emerge from ocean deeps..this has happened b4 and it will happen again and again & again..throuout mankind History.sweeping out anything to remind us of it..And as for the cause, Einstein-Hapgood hypothesized that, an imbalance of Polar land ice accumulation could bring the earth to a flipping state or a temporarily loss of balance , pretty much like a whirligig yo-yo. And that may bring in mind the ice melting , that’s taking place in Arctic circle these days.In Antarctica, the icy land mass is ten times more.So if the Arctic land ice cover melts first, that may as well trigger a slight disorder in crust balance..combining it with the fact that we are in a turning point in Equinox precession , that happens nearly every 26,000 yrs, well, this may result to a doomsday scenario, where we’ll be expecting a global flood of unprecedented magnitude ..nothing can survive from such global events. Even mountain tops sky high as the Rockies are expected to be swept away by the inertial factor if the displacement is more than 10 degrees.. God have mercy on our souls for most of us , for only some cosmonauts may survive – altogether with some high land shepherds- if any.

“Sorry to be a party-pooper, but since 2001 September the eleventh, I don’t find this sort of mindless visual FXT Disaster porn so “funny” anymore.”
I agree totally. There seems to be a total disregard for human life in many films nowadays. Special effects are more realistic and in some cases gory.
I do wonder what subtle effect this might be having on people.
I wont be seeing the film but then I hardly watch any films any-more. Too much death and destruction already in real life. I Don’t want to watch it as entertainment.
November 21st, 2009 at 9:46 pm
freaking funny- good summery of the film
