Congratulations, you just saved yourself a sawbuck!

Now, for you nitpickers out there, watch the above 2012 trailer again and try to make geographic sense of the sequence of events.

Oh, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news for believers in the Mayan apocalypse, but the ever-so-useful “No-Frills” calendar from MyBoatClub stretches all the way into 2020.

Congratulations again, you just gained eight more years of life!

    If the Volunteer Yacht Club says we’ve got ’til 2020, we’re golden.

    The film’s tag line is “We Were Warned” and in teeny tiny little print underneath it reads “that this is a Roland Emmerich movie and it is going to suuuuuuuuck.”

    Personally I think he’s so fully decimating Los Angeles this time around because a lot of people thought he let our town off the destructo hook with but a few mega tornados in “Day After Tomorrow.”

    Emmer-ICK.

    Coincidentally, PBS’s Fronline is premiering a program tomorrow night entitled “The Warning,” about our current Depression 2.0. Who knew what when, and what did they do about it? Perhaps the theme of being “warned” about some impending disaster is something we’ll be seeing more of on screens big and small.

    Wow. That clip looks really familiar.

    Why is a plane flying through downtown and where is there an airport near downtown? And lastly why does it take it so long to take off. Effects look real cheesey.

    Anybody else notice the blatant “Heal the Bay” messaging? Nice try, Emmerich, but I’m not getting trapped in your liberal tractor beam!

    I heart suspension of disbelief.
