Ahhhh!!! Why didn't cable news tell me that our failed economy would cause a torrent of fireballs to rain down mercilessly and sink California into the ocean?! If I would have known this shit, I wouldn't have bought that place on the Upper East Side with forty-seven in my checking and twelve bucks in savings. WE DIDN'T LISTEN!
I just got done stocking my basement with canned food and bottled water for the inevitable swine flu apocalypse, and now I have this bullshit to prepare for?
Still got beans and rice left over from Y2K. DO NOT need more "Collapse" bullshit. Hey, the Broncos aren't going undefeated all season after all. JUST LIKE I SAID THEY WOULDN'T!!! I'm friggin' Nostradamus, too. But seriously, when has so-called "civilization" NOT been a disaster?

Jeff, 2012 is 2 hours 40 minutes from what I've been told. Correct me if you think the following speculative math is wrong. Someone could watch Collapse, call a friend raving right after, buy tickets for the next show while they wait for the friend to arrive, and then see Collapse a second time in the same number of minutes on Earth required to see 2012.

Well, then you really need to work up some interest in Collapse -- the thinking man's 2012.

I dunno how the fuck it happened, but Boondock Saints 2 made almost half a million, giving it the second highest PTA after Paranormal Activity.

It was a problem for these news organizations to create "reliable, informative material" when there weren't budget cuts.

Anyway, I liked the one with the bongo music more, but this is sort of amusing in its own way.

What are all of these end-of-the-world disaster movies saying about our collective unconsciousness?
