PUN intended

I know every great Hollywood actor occasionally does a movie to make some easy money... but 2012 looks bad.

How many times is that director going to blow up the White House? Isn't there anything else to blow up in this world?

I was kind of in the mood for 15 minutes of tech demo sandwiched between a lame story.

How about the world itself? There's always room in theaters for a good ol' disaster flick.

John Cusack needs to hook up with Nicolas Cage and make a movie about actors who can not act and play them self in every movie.

Forget 2012, I'm scared as hell about what Roland Emmerich is going to do with his Foundation movie...

I'm surprised that I'm going to be the first person to congratulate the TC on his fantastic, original and highly witty pun, which is so hilarious that he needs to point out to us in his OP that there was indeed a pun, just incase our comically inferior minds missed it.

I would agree with you, but Damon gave a pretty good performance in The Informant!.

Matt Damon? He played completely different characters in the Bourne movies, the Ocean's movies, and The Informant...:?

Fun fact of the day: Roland Emmerich blew up the White House ONLY ONCE. And in 2012 it doesn't get blown up. And no, the script doesn't end as you think it does. And no, the trailers didn't give the movie away.

Maybe because its all about disaster? Yeah maybe its .50% character developement, .50% story developement, and 99% CGI, but Im craving a good disaster movie right about now. I love movies and I am not the one to judge until I have seen the whole movie and completely have analyzed it. Heres the 5 minute preview if interested

As soon as I saw the trailer, I knew this was something direted by Roland Emmerich. This guy's movies are truckloads of fail. Emmerich tries to emmulate Michael Bay in many ways (all effects and questionable plot and writing), but he can't even get that right.

Meh. I like John Cusack actually. Runaway Jury, Room 1408, and that movie where the serial killer has everything play inside his head.

Amen brother. Movies would be better without them. I didn't loath their presence when I first saw those guys, but damn. We've seen everything they have to offer and it is the same dang thing over and over again.

Ben Affleck was really good in State of play, Hollywoodland, and Extract. Also Cusack may play the same character most of the time, but he was good in 1408. Even if he does play similar guys I still think he and Cage are good since they were both in some really good films.

His films may mostly suck these days, but what about Raising Arizona, Mathstick men, bringing out the dead, Leaving Las Vegas, and Adaptation? He may not play very different characters all the time, but I dont think he is a terrible actor. He just picks a lot of bad roles.

I think it looks entertaining. Besides the drama that I am sure will be in it with a bad family story but hey the destruction stuff looks cool.
