Movie of the morning: Starting the work week by ending the world with Roland Emmerich's 2012
I'm hoping that all 158 minutes of Roland Emmerich's disaster flick squared, 2012, are convincing. I've already stopped making mortgage payments, canceled three birthday and four Christmas parties, and this week I'm giving the lawn guy his three years notice.
Just kidding, Tony Twigg. And, yes, that's my lawn guy's real name.
If you haven't heard, or don't live near any Mayans, 2012 is supposedly when the world ends. I'm betting the world turns out like a Kevin Costner movie, lasting far longer than it has a right to.
2012 opens nationwide Friday, if nothing drastic happens before then.
