It definitly wont be a zombie apocalypse, as we have Theories of International Politics and Zombies (http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9388.html) now on sale, which will provide us with a working strategy to defeat the walking dead menace.

Must.... purchase....

As an intro text, it's not bad.  If I was running a class, I'd certainly put it on the reading list for my first year undergrads.  It also proves Realists just cannot cope with real life problems, such as the end of the Cold War, but cannot even cope with imaginary scenarios.  Some critical theorists think it was a bit harsh as well, but, well, they're critical theorists...

Also, I've decided the world ends because of subliminal messages in the final Twilight film convince legions of retarded fans that they are actually vampires or werewolves and they must "turn" as many people as possible to save the world.  Sadly, this leads only to a lot of creepy stalking and purple prose dialogue, followed by people having their throat ripped out.

The world ends with the final Twilight "vampire" strangling the final Twilight "werewolf" with his own entrails.

Disagree. It would obviously be the final Twilight "werewolf" gutting the final Twilight "vampire" with his own  fake magic shop fangs.

I'm voting for robots, but not robots killing all humans, rather humans developing sex robots and as a result no longer procreating.

I'm gonna go with aliens...  They're gonna come down, look around, and sanitize the planet for the safety and sanity of the rest of the universe.

I'm voting for a war. Voting for a nuclear war. At the GAY BAR GAY BAR GAY BAR.

My vote is for something too subtle to be noticed and labeled as causal.

We had Nessie Stew the other night. Other that a slight gamey taste it was pretty good.

"6th sense" is actually an old "are you afraid of the dark" episode called "The Tale of the Dream Girl" (explains why that movie dragged doesn't it)
"The Village" is the short story "Running out of Time."
"Signs" is an unpublished script called "Barrens: The Jersey Devil" mixed with some very poorly interpreted ideas from the 1980 film "Stalker"

As far as I know the rest was cummed out of his ass, except The Last Airbender

Ya I'm not a fan.

Scenario 1: A smug young sorceror trying to prove himself attempts to open a portal to hell. He fails, instead opening a portal to Australia, allowing it to spread to the rest of the world.
Scenario 2: The Democrats win another term in office and finally successfully enact the "Homosexual Agenda" and eradicate heterosexuality worldwide, causing the species to die out within a generation except a hardcore group of True Believers who hid in a compound away from all of the Anal? to wait for Jeebus.
Scenario 3: George R. R. Marin finishes book 6 of A Song of Ice and Fire on time, violating a core principle of the universe and thus undoing all of existence.
Scenario 4: Cats

You're ALL wrong.

The Yellowstone Supervolcano will go off, then we'll launch our nukes thinking Russia dropped the bomb, then we'll get the craziest weather imaginable, then the ice caps will melt, then it'll be waterworld and people will crash jet skis into us, then aliens will come and stick things so far up our asses we'll gag, then meteors the size of God will rain down until there's no atmosphere left, and nothing ever lives here again.

Please to kill me now, thank you.

Other: Giant robots in space impale themselves and orgasm. A giant naked girl rises off the surface of the planet and sprouts wings. A vagina with an eye in it appears on her forehead and is promptly stabbed by some sort of cross-shaped object. Everyone turns into Tang. This is all set to upbeat pop music about killing yourself and is probably symbolic or something.

OMFGoddess, I am so pissed at that fuckwit. Totally ruined Avatar as a big-screen property. He completely missed the entire point of the series. Let me sum up *SPOILERS*.






















In the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, the Avatar is a 10 year old kid constantly sold the narrative that he must "defeat the Fire-Lord in order to save the world". After finishing the series, I had to applaud Nickelodeon for attempting something this risky. It's a martial-arts and magic themed action show aimed at kids, with the heroes facing an apocalyptic end unless they take drastic action. But the Avatar is from the Air Nomads, who hold life sacred similar to Buddhism and Jainism, and he's tortured by the idea of having to kill some-one. Let that sink in a moment.

Three seasons of the anime, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON dies on screen. Or is mortally wounded on screen. I don't even think I saw some-one _bleed_ on screen. It did not take away from any of the tension or the martial arts action. Let that sink in a moment.


Now, at the end of the shitty movie, the farce of a director decides to have a bunch of water benders drown some-one on screen in a huge globe of water suspended in the air. My 11 yr old decided that was just a bit too gruesome and creepy, and thoroughly disliked the movie. The movie flopped because Shyamalan failed to grasp the basis of the entire series. Considering that, I'd put "The Last Airbender" firmly into the plagiarized camp as well.

I liked the Lady in the Water or whatever it was called.

It would have been a hard movie even with the best of directors.  You're right, it took up 3+ seasons, all with richly fleshed out characters, a compelling overarc plus numerous side plots, and bunches of other things.  So yes, it did suck, but it shouldn't have been made as a single movie, either.
