I'm afraid the ranking craze is starting to get to Ruddo.

Hmm, this is an intriguing comment. Care to elaborate? Are you the only person alive who actually LIKES 10,000 BC?

I love 2012. It's Emmerich doing what he does best, which is exploring an Altman-esque tapestry of interwoven, character-based micro-narratives against a backdrop of awesome, mega-scale destruction with a subtle but distinct undercurrent of social/environmental commentary.

Nothin' wrong with different perspectives. That's how people give each other insight into things. :peace:

now that we're throwing around emmerich/altman comparisons, i'd love to see how emmerich would handle a nashville remake. i think we can all agree it would be called smashville.

Well, Broderick is in Godzilla. And yeah, Cusack is in 2012. I kinda like Cusack though. He seems like a bit of a psychopath.

Maybe Emmerich should remake Bergman's Shame.
