I saw 2012 last night with a couple of friends. I'm personally not a believer in the 2012 idea, so I thought this movie was going to be horrible. It looked good on the commercials, but I didn't think it was going to be more than an action movie (action is great..drama/storyline/messages are the greatest, once again in my opinion :P).

Now..when I saw it, I cried almost 4 times! 1 time i was shaking my head trying to not cry. It was soo amazing. It had it's happy parts, sad parts, parts that made you furious, and parts that made you laugh soo hard. Infact, i give it 4.8/5 stars. The only thing i did not like were the "coincidence" last minute escapes. There were too many of them, although a couple were misleading :P. This movie teaches you about human compassion, and what it is like to truly care for other people. It was amazing, the 2012 idea was just the backdrop/trigger that caused all that emotion to happen. Man..it was definately one of the sadest movies I have ever seen..some of those tearful goodbyes between family members almost had me =(.

Like I always say, if a movie can make you cry , it has to be good!

Hi Chelsy,

Although I do not buy into the 12,21,2012 doomsday prophesy, I find it interesting the compelling urgency of people to be real with one another. I look forward to the day when we can truely be ourselves, without fear.... hopefully.... 12,22,2012

Sounds like an awesome movie!!! I should go and see it :)

Love

Brenda

:P I hope he will enjoy it if he goes Crow. Whether your a believer in the prophecy or not, it was an amazing movie. It is for sure one of my top 5 fav movies! Passchundale, The Dark Knight, Gran Torino, 2012 are all amazing movies..so was rise of the lycans (so sad!)

Ohh rosey, infact at first I thought that the only good thing about the movie would be the special effects. Well, not only were the effects better than what i assumed them to be, but the movie had a great story/message to go with it! :). But yeah..that was 4 sure one expensive movie to produce =s

Thanks for speaking about it. I've been curious about this movie, and I want to see it, but just never quite committed. I'll make sure to check it out. I mean it digitally looked stunning, but wasn't quite so sure what the storyline could offer if there was going to be a lot of death and destruction.

Oh CJwar, you will love it :). I felt the same way before and after omg :) my mind completely changed! Like I said, there were a few too many cheesy-last-minute-indiana jones-like-escapes (once again, one of my words :P), but besides that it was perfect.

12-21-2012 is the end of a Myan cycle. Yes bad things did tend to happen on the ends of cycles; as to why the calendar never continued, maybe the Myans were wiped out before they could continue it. Recent archeological work has show that the Myans lost influence partly through their own fault, it was ecological colapse that started the decline. Their own religeous beliefs hastened it with the increase in sacrifices to bring back the pleasure of the gods.

Ren, I will see you online 12-22-2012 and we can celebrate the new cycle

Maybe on the 20th we should ask some of our Aussie and Kiwi members if the world has ended :P

I'd like to see it, too....

Looks really cool from the trailer...

But I don't put too much stock in the Mayans....

Heck 2012 wasn't the end for them.....

So, what do they know? They're already gone!

Huggs..

Donna Jean......LOL!

The Myans of the Classical period (the time of the great cities) might be gone but as a race they still exist. They are one of the many indigenous tribes of Mexico and the surrounding area.

You know, you were right. I was amazed about how good this movie was. Do I think this could possibly happen? I dunno...if it does...then bye bye school loans. But if not..then oh well. I think it's happy and sad all at once nearing the end. But good movie. Thanks for sharing this Chelsy, cause I was certainly planning to overlook it. You know..let it wait in my netflix que until 2012 actually rolled around...and then surprise...it's the same day of the movie's end date. Anyway...

lol

Thanks.

I just saw this movie today. Pretty awesome. Special effects were pretty top-notch. I also didnt like all the last minute escapes, way to predictable, but overall the movie was good, and it carried a moral.

i dont personally buy into the 2012 theory, so when 12.22.12 rolls around expect me to say "the world ended yesterday." laugh.gif

I watched it....lots of fun and edge of your seat action....

But, I'll not worry too much, because if you have a 3 year car payment, the banks won't let the world end until it's all paid off!....LOL

I thought it was Ok, nothing memorable though. Just like a greatest hits package of the disaster genre.

Dec 21 is my parents anniversary. Infact, Dec 23 2012, the alternate date believed by some experts, is my 24th. Would be one hell of an end of the world party lol.

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      Voting for Trump

      By EasyE · Posted

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
