2012: Carnival of Bunkum

Via h+ Magazine, by Mark Dery (author of Pyrotechnic Insanitarium)

Quote from the article:
I like a good apocalypse as much as the next American, which is why I’ll be braving the Stepfordian horrors of the local mall for the opening of 2012, the German director Roland Emmerich’s latest exercise in disaster porn. The trailer is awesome. It’s got John Cusack in a puddle-jumper plane dodging collapsing skyscrapers, John Cusack in a car playing dodge ball with a meteor shower, and John Cusack squealing around a corner on two wheels, yelling, to no one in particular, “When they tell you not to panic, that’s when you run!” Plus, it’s got every New Yorker’s idea of schadenfreude-gasm: California barrel-rolling into the Pacific.


Please follow the link to read the article in its entirety! Apologies to Mr. Dery for my majorly rude and illegal error in posting the article here.

I love the link love, and am flattered by your interest in my work but prying loose my article and slapping the whole thing on your site is unethical (translation: way lame) and illegal (copyright violation). Point to the H+ site, quote a fat graph, but please remove the rest of my article. Thanks. Markdery at verizon dot net
