TWO Reasons I HATE it’s-the-end-of-the-world movies

by MARIA on July 17, 2010

Reason ONE:

REASON TWO:

Yup. I would rather stress about things like moody little people and projectile vomit.

And I would much rather watch Alec Baldwin & Meryl Streep make out thank you very much.

Because I’m a Momma, and I’ve got enough to worry about.

So bite me you stupid “world-is-ending-movies”, and pass the rom-com.

Love Yo Mama.

Those are not my favorite type of movies either. I mean, really, how many end of times movies can they make? It’s not like they have any sort of surprise ending. Hey, look, NYC blows up! Hey, look, the sky is raining fire! Hey, look, another human – we thought we were the only ones!

Enough already.

Hollywood should definitely make more “hot people making out” movies – because we can NEVER guess those endings. ;)

I’ve never been into that type of movie, although I’ve watched them in the past occasionally. But now, no thanks. Pure hatred for the entire genre.

Me too! I didn’t think that anyone else understood. You just made my day.

My husband knows this and after he saw 2012 he said very seriously, “you can NOT see that movie.” He has never cried before in 33 years and said there was one scene involving a family, inescapable tragedy, and some goodbyes that brought HIM to tears.

So I would probably have to go on prescription meds if I did see it.

Disaster flicks are my guilty pleasure. I even enjoyed “The Core”. (I know, you may ‘unfriend’ me now…)

Ugh. I know it sells tickets and all but… Hey wait, WHY does it sell tickets anyway? Is everyone really that into the subject of the end of the world? Yeah, our society has issues…

Those kids are SO. CUTE.

Those kind of movies are just plain INSULTING. It might have been okay back in the 50′s and 60′s when people were naive to these sort of things, but once you’ve found out that in actuality, the world won’t end until approximately 1,000,000,000 years from now, you just flat-out say to yourself, “No!”

And to add insult to injury, the stupid critics want another one called Melancholia to be Best Picture. I have 2 words to say to that. HELL. NO. Why not War Horse, or Moneyball, both of them that were nominated this year? They seem less depressing and mean-spirited. Why do people want angsty crap like that instead of something easier to watch?
