Scores will walk out of the theaters during "Star Trek Into Darkness" when Chris Pine attempts to re-create Shatner's famous "KHA-A-AN" yell with the name "CUM-BER-BATCH!!!"
After "finishing" "The Hobbit", Peter Jackson will then take on the 12-volume History of Middle-earth, and in the process, expand it to encompass 30 movies, one to be released each year starting in 2013. Each 3-hour film will be simultaneously released in 3D, 2D, and Hobbit-vision.
As tempting as it would be to adopt this cat, the chance that it would stay home at night is roughly the same chance that Santa will bring me a gift this year.
They got it wrong, it wasn't the Mayan end of the world, it was the end of mayonnaise. And we're not going to Hell, it's Hellman's. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Although if you are in stuck New York, your best chance of survival (though not guaranteed) seems to be to climb up on the statue's torch. At the very least, you'll have a great view and can take some quality pics for Facebook while the world is annihilated around you.
One of my favorite books by Bill Bryson is 'In A Sunburned Country'. This little passage stuck out in my memory:
"Australia is the home of the largest living thing on earth, the Great Barrier Reef, and of the largest monolith, Ayers Rock (or Uluru to use its now-official, more respectful Aboriginal name). It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world's ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures - the funnel web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick and stonefish - are the most lethal of their type in the world. This is a country where even the fluffiest of caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting you but actually sometimes go for you. If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistable currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. It's a tough place."
"Burton had a few aces up his sleeve. Although his father was Irish, Burton's dark hair and complexion helped him pass as a Muslim." Perhaps this could have been worded better. One does not need dark hair and complexion to be a Muslim or for that matter pass as a Muslim.
