Feb 16 2009How to Live Beyond 2012 (the Movie)
Thanks to Kim for passing along this email from Sony Pictures. They're getting all cute and J.J. Abramsey for that 2012 movie, and have set up a site that explains (with visuals!) how the triple-threat of solar flares, crystal displacement, and Planet X will destroy Earth. I knew we shouldn't have displaced those crystals in 2011:
IHC - Institute for Human ContinuityGreetings,
Thank you for registering for the lottery and for your interest in survival and the Institute for Human Continuity. As a holder of a lottery number, I wanted to inform you of the launch of the comprehensive website for the Institute for Human Continuity where you can find out more information regarding the IHC lottery and what to do concerning survival.
The information contained on the site represents the culmination of years of thinking by the world’s most prominent people and outlines the ambitious initiatives the institute is developing in its efforts to preserve mankind beyond 2012.
In the weeks ahead, we will continue to update the site with new findings and valuable information. So please be sure to visit the site regularly to stay informed.
We need your help to insure a future beyond 2012.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sorën Ulfert, PhD

A lottery for survival is a cute idea, but let's face it, if humanity is ever faced with extinction, it won't be a chance drawing that determines who carries on our species. It's all going to come down to who's invested in personal rocket crafts, which I assume will be only the Japanese. They'll probably be driving to work in personal rocket crafts by 2012, so try to get a Japanese businessman as a pen pal now if you don't want to be human fuel.

I hope that 2012 is just a series of the same story retold with varying degrees of things going wrong, like these flash based simulations! It would be like the movie CLUE or RUN LOLA RUN but with different combinations of Crystal Energy, Solar Radiation and PLANET X proximities! ALSO - please let the movie to have a slide bar of the earth's population constantly adjusting to humanity's "health" as population dies off throughout film! That would be just awesome.

Ah, sorry, Dr. PhD. I would've taken you seriously had you not mistaken "insure" for "ensure."

The idea for this movie came from a movie exec commissioning a writer to write about how the world ends in 2012 because that's when the Mayan calender ends. However, the writer stopped listening after "ends in 2012" and wrote some stupid disaster movie, rather than actually doing research and coming up with an interesting story. I feel like this movie should be called "The Day After New Years Eve 2011... Which is Tomorrow" and be promoted as a darker reboot of "The Day After Tomorrow" and they could make it like the Dark Knight

Thanks guy for posting it! Made me laugh how easy it was to click the link in my email, click the bottom of the site page, and find an instant link to Sony....I don't think JJ would have made it so transparent.....

"2012: Time for Change"
is a feature-length documentary, directed by Joao Amorim of Curious Pictures and featuring Daniel Pinchbeck, the bestselling author of "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl" (Penguin, 2006). In the style of "An Inconvenient Truth", "What the Bleep Do We Know", and "Waking Life", our film explores ideas about what the immediate future may hold, symbolized by the myths and prophecies of the Mayan culture of Mexico. Interviews with design scientists, anthropologists, physicists such as Dean Radin, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Nassim Haramein John Todd and Paul Stamets and celebrities such as Sting, Ellen Page and Gilberto Gil. 2012 combines film and animation in an innovative way, taking us on a journey through our own evolution.

Personally, I think the aliens that helps the Maya's build the pyramids (see Chariots of the Gods) will return and we'll discover that we don't OWN the planet...just RENT it. They'll be so angered by how much we've screwed it up, they'll issue an eviction notice and we'll have only 30 days to find a new one, possibly the "Planet X" that is talked about. Of course, this one will be really crummy kind of like Section 8 housing of planets and we'll have to deal with really noisy neighbors and our cars being stolen all the time.
