Eventually Roland Emmerich will make a nine-hour film that just shows the White House being destroyed over and over again in various ways. It will sweep the Oscars.
I have no idea why Emmerich is obsessed with depicting various famous locales getting got via expensive CGI, but I am very glad he is. Seeing this opening day.
This trailer seems like de jevu all over again. I would skip it or bring earplugs. Or pay off my mortgage for the cost of four movie tickets and popcorn.
And a mild protest. They shouldn't make this stuff without Will Smith. But Randy Quaid playing a drunk space ship designer would suffice.
Cusack? What is Cusack going to do? Hit the meteorites back into space with his purse?
True, the CGI will be awesome, but CGI has been awesome for years now. And until extra ears sprout I don't think the 188 db, 45 channel sound will seem new either.
For a saving humanity flic rent "When Worlds Collide." When they made it fifty years ago I think all 200 people they saved were white Ivy Leaguers. Each a virgin.
1) THE GIRAFFE!
2) Was that JFK aircraft carrier like 100x the size of the White House just then?
3) The ratio of black:white presidents in disaster movies has got to be approaching 1.
4) John Cusack dresses his kids as Michael Jackson would.
Any movie that combines an alien invasion with global warming ("The Day After Independence Day, Which is Tomorrow"?) gets my popcorn money. What it means is that I can quit worrying about the size of my carbon footprint because it's the aliens that are going to kill all the unborn children.
1) I like how director is proudly presenting the movie at the beginning of the trailer
2) Don't you think that guy meant to say"continuation of our species" and not "continuity"?
Apparently they've installed an ice skating rink in Piazza San Pietro.
I usually don't plan that far ahead -- because of asteroids and shit.
But Roland, I watched this exclusive trailer only on youtube via theawl.
(Also, thanks for the great twink fest Sunday).
Earlier, I was all: Is Roland Emmerich Bruno? Discuss. Then I got distracted. (The cat barfed.)
Wait. We're destroying an entire planet to spare John Cusack?
That's the plan.
Starts out factually wrong and gets explosively awesome from there. That's perfect summer movie form.
Awe. Some.
This is totally Deep Impact 2: Even Deeper Impact, And You Actually Get To See What Happens When The Giant Wave Hits This Time, Plus Other Crazy Shit.
Also, Cusack makes a fantastic Téa Leoni.
$20 that "these ships" "the government is building" are given some acronym like "A.R.C." You know, for the Christian demographic.
Also: Roland Emmerich HATES the White House! (see also: Independence Day.)
If it means I get out of my student loan debt, I'm all for the Mayan apocalypse. With or without Lloyd Dobler.
A black president? Emmerich's finally gone too far. Who would peg a German for a continuing desire to destroy the world?
Also: When I think "summer blockbuster" I think Oliver Platt.
Oliver Platt is the poor man's Danny Huston. And that's almost as good as Danny Huston, the Lower Upper Middle Class man's Oliver Platt.
It's going to take a lot more than saving the human race to make up for "Pushing Tin", John Cusack.
But will someone sing "There's Got to be a Morning After" before the USS John Kennedy Tips over in a tsunami? And what about Fallon Carrington?

This film already exits and it is called "The Last 20 Years"
I'm more interested in seeing Congress engulfed in a pig feces tsunami. Sequel?
Maybe if Roland directs Saw VII?
I hope this movie is accepted for the best argument for legalizing pot that it is.
If only the state capitol building in Albany were iconic...
The John Cusack looks SO REALISTIC. It's incredible.
Right? They've really got the Cusack CGI down.
If only they could perfect Joan.
NO because you can't synthetically create perfection. Didn't you learn anything from the mortgage backed securities debacle?
I hope they need to repopulate with at least one slightly spacey aficionado of Scottish detective novels or I'm fucked.
I kept waiting for Starbuck to come flying in via Raptor to save New Caprica.
Hmm, a populist experimental film.

FUCK YES BLOW IT UP WOO
