… but it sure is fun watching everything go ker-blooey in this new trailer for 2012, the end-of-the-world movie due this fall from Roland Emmerich. We’ve got a crack splitting up God and Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Danny Glover as the president and the aircraft carrier the USS John F. Kennedy smashing the White House.
To be honest, I’m guessing this movie won’t be very good — Emmerich’s track record isn’t exactly stellar — but as this trailer proves, there are a few minutes worth of juicy scenes in there somewhere.
I can’t embed the trailer here, but you can see it by clicking this link.

According to Cinematical.com, Frank Darabont has spilled the beans that he, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and the rest of the gang are indeed planning a fifth Indiana Jones movie…
“It’s really about the script,” said Marshall. “Once we see that, we’ll see. We’re not going to wait another 20 years. We’d all love to make another one. I’m anxious to hear the idea!” But he quickly added that he really didn’t know what Spielberg was cooking. “Until there’s a script, nothing’s definite. I haven’t heard the idea.” (He should ask LaBeouf. I bet he knows.) Marshall also confirmed that Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford were equally eager to return for a fifth outing. “Yeah. We had a great time making the last one and, as Harrison said, we need to make this one soon. We’re not getting any younger.”
Well, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL was a disappointment to virtually ever critic and moviegoer who saw it (this guy included), but it’s hard to argue with a 700-million-plus global box office.
Speaking of Darabont, you know what’s a good movie? THE MIST, which he directed. Much better than CRYSTAL SKULL, in fact.
