If they make that, I hope they don't mess it up.

From what Ive read its suposed to be pretty much spot on.
They want to go more into the space battlesequences though,,but as long as they get the story right.
Did you know the original story was suposed to be made for teenagers?

^ That makes sense.. it sort of suits that frame of mind. Some readers might get hung up on the pacing of it, so.. I can see how some teens might have dumped it before finishing it. But, that's when I read it, I was around 15. Im worried enough abut the story.. But, I'd be equally worried (or more worried) about getting the emotion to come across. It's got a certain profound depth of feeling to it that has to be gotten down correctly.

It was a powerfull story.
 Enders Game was good too.
I got the whole series in leatherbound hardback from Longmedow Press ( same people that did The Frank Miller Collection back in 1990)

I never watch disaster films, willingly. What's the point?
OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! I NEED TO CONSIDER THE ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF STEALING THIS CAR! BUT SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF STEALING A CAR?! I'M NEVER GONNA SURVIVE BECAUSE THE WORLD IS IMPLODING! BUT THEN OMG BY THE END OF THE DISASTROUS (OMG PUNNY!) 104 MINUTES, WE'RE ALIVE. HOLLYWOOD IS BANKING ON A SEQUEL. SEQUELS FTW. THIS IS HOW I GET $34M PER SHITTY MOVIE.

They're always a disaster. Oh, punny again.  ;D
Which do you, guys, consider to be a good disaster movie? (I should move this question to another thread, shouldn't I?)

^ Shaun of the Dead :D ..seriously. Unexpected weird disasters like that are interesting.

Sad disasters that I don't want to think about...? I'd just rather watch on NatGeo.

And as far as 2012? ..i've read stories/books I thought would be more interesting then this release.

Well, 2012 starts out okay, and they try to have a sense of story and logic, but there is a definite line of demarcation where it's pretty clear the flimmakers just said "golly it" and the whole movie turns into a bigger mess than Roland Emmerich has ever produced before (and he's made some seriously shitty movies).

John Cusack's reticence about accepting the role starts showing through his acting ability. He literally has a "what-am-I-doing-in-this-movie?" expression for about the last half of the film - which is a whopping 2 hours and 40 minutes long. After they'd already destroyed the entirety of civilization, and when what's left of humanity gets to the 'special destination', I looked at my watch and there was still at least another 40 goddamn minutes of the movie left! But don't worry, they filled it with one of the cheesiest, most implausible moments of tension ever put to film.

We sneaked into The Fourth Kind afterward and it was a masterpiece by comparison...  :D

Actually, The Fourth Kind had some really creepy things in it...
