I'm sitting at the movie theater leaning over flirting with my husband just as the previews start. Suddenly I'm assaulted with the "2012" trailer. Has anyone see this thing? Well, here it is for your viewing pleasure...
It left with with goosebumps & a sense that the end of the world was tomorrow. Computer graphics & the poor little Tibetan man left ringing the futile warning bell will do that to ya.
Anyway, I then saw this BRILLIANT lil' publicity stunt: What Would You Take With You in 2012? They basically are asking the public to vote for the one book, movie, etc. to save at the end of the world. The voting for art & film categories are done. The results...
Come on guys, we all know I love Twilight & enjoyed (and cringed in) the movie too- but really? This is the ONE FILM we're passing on when the whole world is destroyed?
Okay guys, it gets better though. The voting for books & music are still left. Check of the results so far for books...
You guys, seriously? THE BIBLE is on the list. Now, it doesn't matter if your are religious or not but it's been around for a while, you know? I might pick that over the leader...which is Twilight... again. Oh brother.
And Twlight and The Host are both of the list to begin with? Geez Louise, get me a freakin' break people. I know it shouldn't, but that seriously irritates me.
Peoples' choices of things to take truly frightened me. I assure you that Twilight is not on my list.
For iPhone freaks, they have a free application to download and play a fun game. You get to use the GPS in the phone to locate your surviving friends and share secrets and stuff. Still haven't decided if I'm that much of a movie/phone geek. Okay, I'll probably try it.
Liv and Katie, I hear ya. It appalls me that the Bible is #7 or 8. I can't say I read it everyday (almost), but for historical and practical reasons alone, let alone spiritual, I'd choose the Bible first without question. The idea that so many people would want to spend eternity with the Twilight and Harry Potter series, rather than the collected works of Shakespeare, War and Peace, Grapes of Wrath, and hundreds others floors me.
The results for these voting contests just give you an indication of who votes for stuff like this. The fact that both Twilight and The Host are up there shows you that all the Stephanie Meyers fans have been passing around links to the site--and apparently not many other, more serious minded people have been voting.

Not a sci-fi fan, but love me some John Cusack so I guess I will have to see the movie. --
Wow!

By the way, Liv, your dad and I took my parents to Powell's Books last week. The #1 bestselling fiction book was "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."
Looks like I need to get a flight review. Seems like pilots get to survive the end of the world, according to the trailer. Lucky me and my family :)
