I know there's been lots of discussion as to whether people believe that the world is going to come to an end...

But this is not about that. Just click on the link for the movie trailer and then come back here and tell me what you think.

The movie is due out in November. Same director as Independance Day.

My opinion - OMG, can't wait!

Here's the trailer link:

I'm actually calling for a semi-casual boycott of the movie. If you'd like to know why you can read up about it in one of my recent posts: hotforjesusformerfundie.blogspot.com/2009/06/local-girl-seriously-pissed-of... .

Lost my taste for doomsday, end-times entertainment, long long ago... but not everyone is as pissed off about their birthday being messed with as I am.

  You poor thing!
  
  Mount Saint Helens blew up on my 30th birthday. Not the end of the world, just the blowing up of the entire top of a mountain. (I even have a little baggie of it's ashes that my friend sent me).

Interesting trailers, and the special effects should be awesome! One thing I find interesting about this film is that Woody Harrelson's character has no name. I looked at the cast list on IMDB.com,

Makes me wonder if he's "unnamed" because he's the crazy homeless person whose name no one figures out... or is there some kind of supernatural bent?

  Usually an unnamed "crazy homeless person" would be listed as "crazy homeless person" on the credits. LOL!!!!!!!

  Yes exactly! Any character at least has a name or title... even if it's just "Police Officer #6" or "Guy on street." Even in "That Thing You Do" when no one says the name of that one band member, he is listed as "T.B. Player" -- and the joke was, it just meant "The Bass Player."
  
  In this case, there is just a BLANK for Woody Harrelson. No explanation. Hmmm....

Doomesday prophesies have been the way that various sick religions have gotten people not to care about the future and flush their savings down the crapper.

Now we just spend $45 dollars on movie tickets and junk food.

progress in baby steps

  Seriously, in my casual boycott of the movie described in the post above I call for people to either not go to the movie, or if they go to send their junk food money to a non-faith based charity of their choice. The more i think about it, the less casual the idea becomes, yet continues to have a very relaxed feeling about the boycott. One of those non-committal, non militant boycotts/suggestions.

  Free at Last - how about you throw a boycott party on your birthday? Lots of cake and ice cream, maybe a pinata...
