If everyone's special, then NO ONE is special.
Fuck that, I want my superpowers!!
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So instead, all non-special people will be squished. Leaving only the special people.
Um....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Why is it that I suspect the filmmakers never quite got that the magnetic poles reversing doesn't actually flip the planet like a flapjack in a skillet so Antarctica ends up facing the North Star?
Really, a complete temporary collapse of the magnetosphere could be pretty catastrophic what with all the cosmic rays and solar wind particles making it down to the surface. But I suppose "And over the next twenty years half the population died of cancer!" doesn't have quite the immediate thrill of "OMGWTF! Wave taller than Everest!"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The DVD I have out from Red Box has an early 2012 trailer that actually looks kinda cool... monks in Tibet sounding the bell of their mountaintop monastery as the giant tidal wave swells up over the Himalayas.
Oh, it's that movie! I saw that trailer in the cinema earlier this year. That Tibetan tidal wave was awesome! If totally unbelievable.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So (500) Days of Summer is hilarious and sweet and sad and lovely, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are great, and I recommend everyone sees it whenever the hell it actually comes out.

Within its first few seconds, the trailer for 2012 identifies the Mayans as mankind's oldest civilization.
IJS, if you're finding fault with the movie's physics, I don't think you're in their target audience anyway.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
The Daily Mail has a feature today claiming that Megan Fox is a thimble brain. Hard to know, coming from a gossip rag. I've never seen her interviewed.
If this is The Daily Mail from my country, I would automatically assume the opposite of anything they print. It is a vicious, hate-filled, scurrilous excuse for a newspaper. I grew up with it in my house, and the reason that, as a child, I ruled out being a journalist as a career option was because I thought that meant writing the sort of xenophobic, homophobic, everydamnthingphobic shit contained within the Daily Mail.

When I saw this I hoped that it was The Last Airbender: The Break-Up and Kitara was really really pissed at Aang.

Heh. We were just watching the end of S3 the other day and as Kitara and Zuko went looking for her mom's killer and she had her water arms on, we both had to acknowledge she was totally Beast Mode.
Though Toph taking out the airship crew in her metal-door suit was about the beastiest thing ever.

Compassionately intolerant
You are completely right Fay. The Daily Mail is indeed dreck. Still, not too long ago, I read a book excerpt about a Brit soldier rescuing Iraqi dogs. And some great gluten-free baking tips. I tend to scroll over the hate and try to glean the interesting bits.
I also read the Guardian and the Scotsman. I can't help myself.
