2019

Watching 2012 left me a bit exhausted. What is it with Roland Emmerich and his unending desire to wreak hell and damnation on Earth? Bad childhood? Repressed feelings of fear and self-loathing? Whatever!

If that scenario was real, I told my kids, I would definitely not survive the reckoning. Of course, I would move heaven and earth to get them to one of those techno-arks but I'll probably just stay behind. I don't want to live in Waterworld (Not that I don't love the water; I love the water but I'd get sick living on it). Where I'd rather be is in 2019, when I'd be one of those cool Asian characters walking under the acid rain in Blade Runner.





I love, love, love this movie! And as much as I'd like to geek out on all its lovely details, I'll just leave you with this ...





Beat that Roland!
