apocalypsosOkay, at random, whichever comes to mind first:
-- It took me so long to figure out the twist that wasn't a twist at all I felt embarrassed. Let's put it this way -- the "It's A Disaster!" trailer has a mistake in it, but an easily understandable one. Trust me, you'll understand when you see the movie.
-- The kid playing John Cusack's daughter is so fucking cute. Apparently they're still producing stock out of the same Adorably Big-Eyed Moppet cabbage patch they grew Dakota Fanning in. And now they're putting hats on them!
-- I WANT FIC. I want so much fic I can hardly STAND it. Oh, my God, why didn't I have the foresight to nominate it for Yuletide?! I want to write fic about the actual characters, I want to do crossovers with other fandoms, I want to put my original characters in there ... I'm totally fixated right now.
-- Woody Harrelson is in the movie! He's one of the best things about the movie, and we're talking about a movie where they blow up, squish, or drown six billion people. I didn't know he was in the movie until he was IN THE FUCKING MOVIE.
-- Oh, my God, the Yellowstone caldera blowing up. OH MY GOD. I want to make some crass remark about ruining my panties, except the crass remark in my head goes even further than that and you really, REALLY don't want me to make it. IT WAS SO PRETTY. It's everything I wanted in the caldera represented in film and SO MUCH MORE.
-- You know how ridiculous it is in these movies when these people run away from shit they would never in a million years be able to run away from in real life? Well, here it's like they made a list of all the ridiculous things people have run away from in these stupid movies and crammed them into one. ALL I SEE ARE STARS. Er, I kinda wanted to pet the screen.
-- There was actually action that wasn't in the trailer! There were a couple of sequences that really did not get shown in the trailer, and a few we only got glimpses off have much longer material to work with.
-- Okay, so you know that clip that got released on the internet a while back of John Cusack and his family running away from a damn earthquake in a limo? I laughed my fucking ASS off. And I wasn't the only one. It was so ludicrous it was HILARIOUS. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in ages. I felt like I was going to sprain something.
-- I can see how they can totally do a TV show set a year after the movie. It lends itself to the setup more than I thought it would, and not because they somehow miraculously manage to save everybody and turn the waters back and earthquakes down to a respectable level by maaaaagiiiiiic. (Author's note: They don't. They don't completely commit to killing everybody off, but ho, boy, do they have fun trying, and succeeding for the most part.)
-- Okay, so they have the world leaders, right? And they have them cast to the way they are now, so you get a fake Angela Merkel (who actually looks fairly enough like her) and a not!Berlusconi who's definitely not him because he's about a third of the size of the guy and somehow makes it through the entire movie without sexually harrassing someone or acting like a douchebag.
-- Morgan Freeman can beat Danny Glover in the Serene Respectable Black President During A Time Of Fictional Film Crisis game with one hand tied behind his back. At least until Tiny Lister shows up.
Can I see it again now? Pleeeeeeaaaaaaase?

2. Yeah, after the Mount Everest thing popped up, I thought they could have sent people up there to hold out, but then I started justifying why they didn't with, "Okay, well, the apocalypse did come on quicker than expected, and who knows how long they would have been up there, and they were willing to throw away the Chinese workers until the Operative from Firefly stood his ground," aaand the submarine thing popped into my head later and ... I don't know. They had that first anchor on the arks because of how strong the initial wave would hit, so maybe the submarines already out to sea would have been thrown around the same as the cruise ships and aircraft carriers were.
3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
... uh, yes. :)

Your icon has sent me scurrying off to YouTube to re-watch the Paloma Faith episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Just so you know, when I saw her live at Bestival, she was carrying a bunch of balloons.
