Obama



Off the subject of Obama, who is trying his darnedest to stay relevant and working hard. We have to hope he can do the job.



Name all the movies in which planet earth, not just the population, is destroyed.


I have thought about it, checked, researched some, and found only 2.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe - aliens want to build a freeway of sorts through our galaxy and Earth is in the way. Chance of happening: 1 in infinity. Never gonna happen.

When Worlds Collide - 1951. "A rogue planet flew into our solar system" and slams into our Earth." Chance of happening: 1 in infinity - planets cannot be rogue, and a strange planet cannot enter our solar system. A meteor maybe, not a planet. Setting aside those differences and issue - is it possible a large meteor will come hurtling toward earth and crash into it? Possible. Could destroy the planet.


There have been many films about the end of mankind: I am Legend, 28 Days, 28 Weeks Later, Dawn/Day Night of the Day ... but Earth and its structures remain.

They are, according to IMDB, remaking When Worlds Collide.

I admit, over the years, I have hoped that the Earth would get whacked without a surprise save by Bruce Willis or some astronomer or sheer luck or nuclear missiles. It is tiring to watch, time and again, 'saved by this much'.

I went and saw a movie on the weekend. Knowing.

It changes the whole idea around. I went back to wanting someone to save us and Earth.
