2012 is a 2012 American epic science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich and starring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. The film was produced by Centropolis Entertainment and distributed by Columbia Pictures. 2012 was released internationally on December 20, 2012. Critics gave the film mixed reviews, praising its special effects and dark tone relative to Emmerich's other work and criticizing its screenplay and length. It was a commercial success and one of 2012's highest-grossing films.
Plot
In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley visits astrophysicist Satnam Tsurutani in India and learns that neutrinos from a huge solar flare are heating Earth's core. Helmsley presents his information to White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser, who brings him to meet the president.
The following year, U.S. President Thomas Wilson and other world leaders begin a secret project to ensure the survival of humanity. China and the G8 nations begin building nine arks, each capable of carrying 100,000 people, in the Himalayas near Cho Ming, Tibet. Nima, a Buddhist monk, is evacuated and his brother Tenzin joins the ark project. Funding is raised by selling tickets at €1 billion per person. By 2011, articles of value are moved to the arks with the help of art expert and First Daughter Laura Wilson.
In 2012, struggling Los Angeles science-fiction writer Jackson Curtis is a chauffeur for Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov. Jackson's former wife (Kate) and their children (Noah and Lilly) live with Kate's boyfriend, plastic surgeon and pilot Gordon Silberman. Jackson takes Noah and Lilly camping in Yellowstone National Park. When they find an area fenced off by the Army, Jackson and his children climb over the fence. They are caught and brought to the geologist Adrian, who has read Jackson's books. After they are released they meet Charlie Frost, who hosts a radio show from the park.
That night, after the military evacuates Yellowstone, Jackson watches Charlie's video of Charles Hapgood's theory that polar shifts and the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar predict a 2012 phenomenon and the end of the world as we know it. According to Charlie, anyone who attempted to inform the public was killed. Soon after Jackson and his children return home, earthquakes begin in California; Jackson heeds Charlie's warning, and rents a private plane. He rescues his family as the Earth-crust displacement begins, causing a 10.9 magnitude earthquake, and Jackson and his family escape from Los Angeles by air as the city collapses and sinks into the Pacific Ocean.
They fly to Yellowstone to retrieve a map from Charlie with the arks' location. As they leave, the Yellowstone Caldera erupts; Charlie is killed when he stays behind to cover the eruption. The group lands in Las Vegas to find a larger plane and meet Yuri, his twin sons Alec and Oleg, his girlfriend Tamara and their pilot Sasha. Sasha and Gordon fly them out in an Antonov An-500 as the Yellowstone ash cloud envelops Las Vegas. Their plan was to land in Hawaii to refuel their plane, only to see the islands consumed by flows of lava as a result of the erupting volcanos.
Adrian, Carl, and Laura fly to the arks on Air Force One. Knowing that his daughter will survive, President Wilson remains in Washington, D.C. to address the nation for the last time while millions of people die in earthquakes and megatsunamis worldwide. With the presidential line of succession gone, Carl assumes the position of acting commander-in-chief.
When Jackson's group reaches China, their plane runs out of fuel. Sasha continues flying the plane as the others escape on a Bentley Continental Flying Spur stored in the cargo hold. Sasha is killed when the plane crashes, and the others are spotted by Chinese Air Force helicopters. Yuri and his sons (who have tickets) are brought to the arks and the Curtis family, Tamara and Gordon are left behind. The remaining group is picked up by Nima and brought to the arks with his grandparents. With Tenzin's help, they stow away on Ark 4, where the U.S. contingent is located. As a megatsunami breaches the Himalayas and approaches the site, an impact driver lodges in the ark-door gears. This keeps a boarding gate open, which prevents the ship's engines from starting. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Tamara, and Gordon are killed. Tenzin is injured, the ark begins filling with water and is set adrift. Jackson and Noah dislodge the tool and the crew regains control of the Ark before it strikes Mount Everest. Jackson is reunited with his family and reconciles with Kate.
Twenty-seven days later, the waters are receding. The arks approach the Cape of Good Hope, where the Drakensberg (now the tallest mountain range on Earth) is emerging. Adrian and Laura begin a relationship, and Jackson and Kate rekindle their romance.

McKeag became involved in 'C' Company of the lower Shankill - the most active unit of the UDA - around 1989, heading his own section of the company which was a hit squad (other sections concentrating on drug-dealing, money laundering and similar activities). According to Henry McDonald and Jim Cusack, the UDA gave an annual "Volunteer of the Year" award to the organisation's top hitman. The award, presented on the Shankill Road and usually consisting of a trophy in the form of a model gun and plaque made by loyalists prisoners, was dominated by McKeag from 1990 onwards and helped to ensure that he became known as "Top Gun" both to his UDA comrades and his republican opponents. In all, the RUC estimated that McKeag was responsible for at least 12 killings, although the figure was placed higher by a number of his former paramilitary associates.
One of McKeag's earliest attacks occurred on 11 March 1990 when he shot and killed Eamon Quinn outside his Kashmir Road home in the Clonard district of the Falls Road, beginning a long campaign of sectarian killings by the UDA. On 31 July he was behind a similar attack on the Springfield Road, where Catholic John Judge was killed after being shot five times by McKeag and his unit. This was followed on 16 October by the killing of Dermot McGuinness in Rosapena Street in north Belfast. Another victim was Seamus Sullivan, the son of former Belfast City Council member Jim Sullivan of the Workers' Party, killed on 4 September 1991 at the council depot on Springfield Avenue where he worked. Lawrence Murchan, a shopkeeper who was killed by McKeag and his unit on St James's Road on 28 September was the 2000th person to be killed during The Troubles. This was followed on 14 November by an attack on the Devenish Arms in Finaghy, resulting in the death of civil servant Aidan Wallace and wounding an 8 year old boy who lost an eye. Following his killing of Catholic shop worker Philomena Hanna at a chemists near the Springfield Road on 28 April 1992, eyewitnesses reported that as McKeag and his driver sped back to the Shankill via Lanark Way they shouted and sang his favourite song, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz. Other UDA members later confirmed that the Yellow Brick Road was McKeag's nickname for Lanark Way, a street linking the Shankill and Springfield roads and favoured by loyalist hitmen as an escape route from republican west Belfast. An attack on 14 November 1992, launched by McKeag, under the orders of Johnny Adair, on a branch of Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Oldpark Road left three Catholics dead and a number of others, including some Protestants who also frequented the betting shop, injured.

A scene from John Boorman's cinematic satire THE TIGER'S TALE, playing at the 52nd San Francisco International Film Festival, April 23-May 7, 2009.
SFIFF52- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 52- THE TIGER'S TAIL - Ireland
Director ('god'): JOHN BOORMAN
Cast: Brendan GLEESON, Kim CATTRALL, Ciaran HINDS, Sinead CUSACK, Sean MCGINLEY, Brian Gleeson (yes, Brendan's real son, who does a GREAT job) .
SHOWTIMES: 4/24 4:30, 4/26 12:00 Castro
The incredible director JOHN BOORMAN (there's those all caps again) who directed (name those films) Deliverance, Hope and Glory, Zardoz (Sean Connary-be still my beating heart) , Point Blank, The General..(oh come on, shall I go on?)
JOHN BOORMAN (ohh, all caps again, think ADDA likes this Director?) expertly channels the Alfred Hitchcock twists and turns great thriller about a sleazy , rich developer who has his face slapped by...well, lots of folks.. including his wife, his son, his secretary, his work, his dreams, his parents, his...oh, you get the idea.
"What ever happened to good old-fashioned, honest corruption?" says the sleezy real estate developer about the 'Celtic Tiger' (boom of Ireland's economy from 1996-2006) gets it's tail pulled by many, many interested folks (bankers, wankers, relatives, ex-relatives, business partners, mums & dads) .
A doppelganger is after the successful developer...but then is the developer really successful? Is everything falling apart? What about those bank accounts, Is there a doppelganger or is the developer going mad over the stress? Is it real or is it...imagined? And what about those reflections in the windows...are they real?
HEY, A good toss in the looney bin will chill him out...all the while, the 'doppelganger' goes after his wife, his accounts, his business, his boat, his cars, well, his life...or is it just imagined?
Expertly filmed and well presented thoughout with believable situations, THE TIGER'S TAIL, jolts and jarrs the viewer at every twist and turn.
HELLO. This is not for those who want a simple and easy linear ride. This film will have you guessing and wondering "WHAT THE HELL?" many times thoughout. (One can sort of hope and predict a happy ending...for that is what will sell the film to a major audience, BUT THE RIDE...OH MY...)
another HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SFIFF FILM - FOUR & 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS.... This will be released, but see it before everyone at the SFIFF52.
BEST LINES:
"Seeing your double means you're gonna die."
"Please don't ravish my hair. It took me 2 hours to get ready. "

"Every success needs a victim."
FOUR 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS....A FILM THAT WILL BE RELEASED & FOR A TRUE TWIST-N-TURN FAN...A MUST SEE!
Now I know how Howard Carter felt when he walked into King Tut's tomb and discovered one of the greatest archeological finds ever.
Here, in Galesburg,IL, this recently uncovered ghost signs for Henry George/Bull Durham cigars/tobacco shows magnificent detail, brilliant colors, and a peek into advertising not seen in probably 100 years. This sign was painted by a company based out of Chicago,IL (Thomas Cusack Signs) and their logo is partially visible in the lower left corner below the bearded gentleman.
Let's hope whoever owns the property will do what they can to preserve this classic sign.

When I photograph the older parts of Dublin I will often attract the attention of the self appointed local historian and today was not an exception. The gentleman in question told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000. On the beautiful afternoon of 15th April 1873, (Sir) Ralph Cusack, Chairman of the MGWR, opened the new dock and formally named it Spencer after the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Spencer, great-great grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.”
So there was some basis to the local historian’s claim however the bridge associated with the development was at the time described as “an ingenious hydraulic bridge” and it was the work of the railway’s engineer Mr Price. The bridge in my photographs does not really match the description above.
The available information available is confusing but the bridge in my photographs appears to be referred to as the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge but also as the Sheriff Street Spencer Drawbridge but it was built in 1941 as a replacement for an older swivel bridge dating from 1873.
Just before I published my photographs I came across this “However, on 17 October 1941 the IT reported on the opening of the new Sheriff Street drawbridge, which had cost £18,000; it was a structure unique of its kind in these islands.” canalsofdublin.com/royal-canal-interactive-walk/sheriff-s...

My apologies for the delay, but I have been very busy writing a new Constitution for the United Arab Emirates that I had been commissioned to do by George Carlin. Anyway, that’s another story for another day, let’s get down to business.
Ivan Cusack is the father of the actors John and Joan Cusack. He was never the best father, and he would be the first to admit as such, but he did try his best, given his rather unorthodox upbringing. He was raised on a farm by a deranged 80 year old gentleman who had escaped a mental institution and kidnapped Ivan from a local orphanage. He forced Ivan to eat spiders while doing jumping jacks every day for breakfast. He put him on a rocking horse and pushed him down a ski slope in Colorado. He forced Ivan to brush his teeth using molten metal. He made Ivan serve roast beef to a tornado. After Ivan turned 17, he decided to strangle his father with a piano wire, and that was that.
Today, Ivan lives in a house that was bought for him by his son John. Ivan however is never quite satisfied. He calls John every day and screams at him about the cold water in the bath tub. At least once a week he convinces John to come down to his house to “fix” his bath tub by turning on the hot water, a procedure that Ivan has yet to understand.
Right now Ivan is locked in a complicated legal proceeding with his daughter Joan, who he thinks should exit show business due to her failure to match up to the success of her brother. He insists that she become a professional synchronized swimming instructor so that she may one day perform with a team of unicorns in front of the President of Nicaragua.
If you were a teenage girl in the 80's, there are some things you'll never forget. Like big hair, New Kids on the Block, and John Cusack holding the boombox over his head in 'Say Anything.' But unlike a lot of teen heart-throbs, John didn't fade away. He became one of the most respected - and eclectic - actors of his generation. He's played everything from an American air marshal in 'Con Air' to an eccentric puppeteer inside John Malkovich's head in 'Being John Malkovich' and a hit man going to his high school reunion in 'Grosse Pointe Blank.' That movie was the first from John's own New Crime Productions. He also produced and co-wrote the screenplay for the cult classic, 'High Fidelity.' Ditto for his latest flick, 'War Inc.' It's about an American corporation run by the former U-S vice president, that occupies an imaginary country called Turaqistan.

So I got this $5 change from a store and it had this paw print on. I saw this and instantly thought of one of my favorite movies of all time: Serendipity!!
( If you haven't seen it, you must go watch it!! )
It reminded me of Serendipity because in the movie Sarah (Kate Beckinsale) takes a $5 bill and tells Jonathan (John Cusack) to write his name and phone number on it. He writes it, she then takes the bill and some mints with it. When Jonathan asks her why did she do that she says "When that $5 bill makes it's way back into my hands I'll be able to call you and when you hear my voice on the other end, then you'll believe in fait, won't you"
Gah love it!!
