http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz86TsGx3fc) Actual HD trailer
And you will drink.
Drink everytime the camera does a slo-mo zoom-in close-up of someone's face as they whisper:
MY. GOD.Drink everytime a famous landmark is destroyed in lovingly rendered destructoporn CG.
Drink everytime someone's daughter or dog is in danger at the same time as a continent is disintegrating.
Drink everytime someone says through teary eyes
"I love you" while sacrificing themselves for the greater good.
Drink everytime religion get its comeuppance from a wrathful God.
Drink everytime a window shatters.
More.

Seems easier to avoid it altogether and save yourself from becoming a raging alcoholic.

Thank god we're already raging alcoholics.

This looks fucking awful.
I'm gonna have to see it. It can't be any worse than The Day After Tomorrow, which I could probably have ignored despite its failing physics and biology forever if it hadn't been held up by idiot treehugger friends of mine (who are no longer friends) as PROOF THAT GLOBAL WARMING WILL KILL US ALL. (For the record, if you told these people that the local Boy Scout troupe was on a snipe hunt they'd bemoan the killing of precious wildlife. So yeah, if I can't have non-stupid friends I'd rather they at least not be annoying.)

when I calculate the date I get 23rd of december 2012, so i get to last two days longer than anyone else.
Although if you did believe this calendar then the world itself was only created 25,000 years before that date.
which buggers up the muslim, christian, jewish date of creation at 4106bc.
Although according to the pyramid texts theres be an egyptian civilisation for the last 136,000 years, although for some of that time only thoses living in upper egypt would count towards that civilisation, thats if you understand what upper egypt actually ment in ancient egypt.
I can't see how giant ships would save people the mayans predictied that the world would burn and then end up getting covered in ice, giant floating snow ploughs would be better.

Roland Emmerich, eh? I shoulda known. Looks like the bastard lovechild of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow.
I'd take you up on the drinking game Scots, but I'd probably have one helluva morning after to regret, so I'll pass.

I do like destructoporn. It's my favourite type of cinema.
Fafhrd on 7/7/2009 at 06:08
My favourite thing about Emmerich is that after breaking up with Dean Devlin he only seems the be capable of making the same two films. Film 1: Nature is trying to kill us! (Day After Tomorrow, 2012) Film 2: Historically laughable ancient civilisation epic (only 10,000 BC so far, but it kind of has it's roots in Stargate).
I can only hope that his next project will be a totally amazing Atlantis movie. Roland Emmerich's ATLANTIS: THE SINKENING. (or maybe he can shoot all the Great Old Ones sequences for del Toro's At The Mountains of Madness, if he ever gets around to making it.)

Dude if anyone follows that we're not gonna be drunk, we're gonna be in an alcoholic coma. :devil:

I'd rather drink turpentine than watch a fucking new Ronald Emmerich film.
I genuinely like Universal Soldier and Godzilla + Independence Day + Stargate are some of my favourite guilty pleasure so-bad-that-they're-good films, but anything else no fucking thanks.
Judging from the trailer, 10,000 BC looks more painful than dental surgery.
