In case you haven’t been to the movies lately, the world is coming to an end. But does it end with a bang — or a monologue?
To find out, check out this nifty mash-up of the trailers for 2012, the apocalypse-now thriller set to open on Nov. 13, and Collapse, the sensational new documentary (here’s my original review) in which author/alarmist/visionary/conspiracy theorist Michael Ruppert spends 82 mesmerizing minutes talking about what he thinks is going to happen to the United States. (Warning: It’s not a pretty picture.)
These movies would seriously make a great double bill. The time could hardly be more right for them, since both films exploit vogue-ish variations on the imagination of disaster to tap into our most primal fears. So which end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it spectacle do you plan to see — 2012 or Collapse? The popcorn Armaggeddon or the eggheaded doomsday? Or both?

That is brainless.
Sad part is, he was kind of right in his lectures. Considering current deficit, the mortgage crisis, etc and the fall of the U.S. Dollar… You sometimes have to wonder if they were onto something. Interesting review nonetheless (BTW 2012 is alarmist garbage.)
Collpase not 2012 (too holywood)
