I want to see a movie where a volcano erupts under the Washington Monument but instead of destroying it, the Washington Monument flies in the air and impales THE WHITE HOUSE!

Even as a pretentious Herzog-loving film BFA major, I can't pretend that I don't like Roland Emmerich. I can't pretend I don't love Roland Emmerich.

Among other things, he certainly understands how to capture an audience's heart.

But honestly, we're running out of cities for this guy to destroy,

New York City is a bunch of cities?

I like disaster movies. I am unashamed of this and will be seeing this movie opening night, by myself if my girlfriend has no interest in it. Seeing stuff blow up is good clean fun and I will not hear otherwise.

Same here. While I tend to prefer my mindless entertainment between Memorial and Labor Day, I am flexible.

Sorry, that's not ridiculous enough. What if it goes flying through the air and lands in the courtyard of the Pentagon? Also, in an earlier establishing shot show a top-secret fusion generator below the location, that goes into a runaway chain reaction. Then we can show a pressure wave that rips through the entire city!

No no no.

A volcano blasts the Washington Monument, sending it flying into the courtyard of the Pentagon. This acts as a key to the lock of the earth, as the Pentagon was secretly built by a joint collaboration by the Creators and the US Government. The earth cracks in half and opens up to reveal a giant doomsday laser that fires pulses of anti-matter directly into our sun, causing it to Supernova, releasing one GIANT blast wave.

You should make movies.

This is a non-starter if we want to keep the movie at a PG rating.

And Roland Emmerich wept, for he had no more worlds to blow up.

You may think that. But just wait. 2 years from now, a new series will debut.

Stargate: Explosions, starring Roland Emmerich.

The world wasn't destroyed in 2012. Only the non-muslim parts.

Allah wiped out those infidels.

Me too, but let me ask you... or anyone else? Was 10,000 BC worth the time?

You know I found it to be a pretty fun movie, check your history major at the door and settle in for some good action. Of course this is coming from a guy who really enjoyed 300 as well so take my opinion as that.

Sold. I am hoping for something like Apocalypto, but with more unintentional laughs.

Right on, I found that movie to be very engaging as well. Btw I just watched a little gem called Mongol last night which fits into this movie category too, a foreign film loosely based around the early life of a certain 12th century Mongolian warlord, more in the Apocalypto camp then the 300/10K BC camp.
