I tend to agree with the manufactured fear aspect to the creation and release of films like Emmerich's 2012 next year. TPB tried in 2008 with the release of "2012 Doomsday"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132130/ Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. It didn't have the desired effect (Trailer:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=J6fV4ztrSbY ) The trailer is the best part of the film. Roland Emmerich started work on his ver$ion around the same time. It will open the floodgates on the web btw, expect a huge population boom in bogus 2012 related sites and disinfo. Todays Menu:
Fear, shaken not stirred.
.. I'll likely see it in theaters like everyone else though
