Coming soon to a theater near you: The fantastic cinematic event, entitled 2012, a film about the end of the world, due to the Earth's crust cracking. (Ouch! That's gotta smart.) Oh, I almost forgot: This cataclysm coincides with some prediction from an ancient Mayan calender.
Golly, inasmuch as this is a Hollywood production, you don't suppose the end of the world will have anything to do with Global Warming, do you? Perhaps not. Then again, somehow I just can't imagine the "dramatic twist" being anything else. Probably we'll also hear about what a superior culture the Mayans were to Western cultures, with all talk about Mayan human sacrifices to their gods being conspicuously omitted.
One has to wonder how many people today believe in Global Warming and Western bad guys as a result of stupid movies rather than honest-to-goodness facts. One also craves for the day when Hollywood (ideology not withstanding) will simply get creative again.
NOTE: I know this was my second "art" prediction in just one week. Sorry about that and thanks for indulging me. I'll try not to do any more for a while. Please understand; If these forecasts come true, I will take no pleasure in being right. It is actually depressing that such stories are so easy to predict, but by offering a projection ahead of time, I am hoping to expose the pattern and grid in my ongoing tradition of making the obvious obvious.
