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.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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.

"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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I like the Guardian, although maybe that's because they wrote about The Wire a lot and only rarely dashed out the cursing?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In case you needed reminding, the greatest female action star of all time is Michelle Yeoh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone seen Transformers II yet? Are Mudflaps and Skids as racists as reports have said?

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The only Transformers that do stand apart from the rest of the cannon fodder—and not in a good way—are Mudflap and Skids, who have already correctly been ID’d as the film’s Little Black Sambots. Sporting crooked metal teeth and talking like refugees from a UPN sitcom, these Autobots are such brazen, breathtaking caricatures, you gotta wonder if Bay has lost his damn fool mind.
Heh.
I've heard these characters compared to Jar Jar Binks. But they sound worse.
