We're a fan of today's offer for two reasons. Reason one: you get a super fun and functional timepiece with two interchangeable bands. Reason two: for each watch that's purchased, this amazing company will provide clean water for an individual in a developing country for an entire year.
After a relief trip to Haiti, husband and wife team Jeff and Jackie Bird realized people in developing countries, including Haitians, collect their drinking water from local rivers and streams that are polluted with trash, waste and chemicals. These unfortunate conditions facilitate the rapid spreading of preventable diseases and sickness throughout the world.
Epic International is their way to make a change. They designed super neat watches that are perfect for moms and dads on the go - or even hip kids! For every watch purchased, Epic will provide clean water for an entire year through the distribution of water filters to developing nations.
The Epic Catalyst Timepiece comes in tons of vibrant colors, and you can even switch out the bands to match any outfit! Snag one for you, one for dad, a few for the kids, and feel great about knowing your money is going to a truly inspirational cause.
In 2010, after traveling to Haiti to help with the relief efforts, Epic International founders Jeff and Jackie Bird returned home with the desire empower others to help those in need. Soon after, Epic International was born with philanthropy at it's core. For every Epic watch purchased, Epic provides one year of clean drinking water to an individual in a developing country.

This guitar not only rocks, it can sing!
The unique MP-90 single coil 'soap-bars' give it a brilliant and a bit a smokey voice in so many shades and colors.
It comes with a first-class finish. Honestly, I would have estimated its prize to some 1,500 bucks. It weighs about as much as a strat, which is perfect, and it's perfectly ballanced for playing comfort. Everything is just where you would want it to be (and yes, the volume control is a bit too close to the strings, as has been said here before).
Actually, I had been looking for something more jazzy than my beloved SRV-style Strat, as I had come back to jazz-blues fusion recently, and I had given a few ES-335 style axes a try for this reason. While I was disappointed of those, I stumbled across this Jaguar on my way out of the shop. I took it up and fell in love with it - not at first glance - but at the first tone I played. The sound is great, it's absolutely marvellous in fact, out of the box.
All I had to do, was change the strings for .12 D'Addario Jazz flatwounds and tune it down half a note, and it's the perfect guitar I had been looking for first place!
This guitar is definitely more than a beginner's choice! With your eyes closed, you could even think you're listening to a PRS Hollow II, which costs about 15 times as much.
Today, the Jag is among my favorite three guitars (the other two being a vintage handcrafted accoustic Western style 75 Fender, actually the first guitar I ever owned, and the SRV-Strat, of course).
Get it while you can!

I love this guitar. It came in a cheap box from Thomann.de and was roughly set up. The initial impression was already good; I felt the vibration of the strings throughout the entire guitar and the sustain was great and I hadn't even plugged it in yet.
Once I changed the strings and set the intonation I started playing for real. Awesome tones; from creamy blues-tones to gritty hard-rocking filth.
+The neck is solid as a rock and the scale makes it super-easy to play. The rosewood fingerboard compliments the mahogany body very well, both in terms of design as well as sound. A good neck is essential to a great playing and sounding guitar.
+The pickups sound awesome, they're not noiseless but then again I'm not frightfully bothered. I can get beefy, clucky and warm sounds off the neck-pickup and biting distortion off the bridge-pickup. The guitar seems to favor a slightly treble-y sound which I like.
+The price is just awesome, you get one hell of a lot of guitar for your money.
-The only gripe I have with this instrument is the close placement of the volume and tone controls. Due to this, I sometimes hit the volume knob by mistake when I play.
This guitar is quickly becoming my main instrument as it seems to suit any purpose. Simply awesome guitar.
alrik.lanzow owns this item
Strats, teles, Pauls, ES-355s and more~ the iconic gits of the last century and I'm an old man who played them all. At the end of the day they all have pickup selectors and tone controls and that's it. Try setting an amp completely flat, use the headphone out, leave the guitar knobs all the way up and plug each of those guitars in and play them for a while, switching between the pickups. That's the actual sounds of those guitars!
"The Fiddling":
After that begins the knob twiddling, gain and amp twiddling, pickup mods, string changes, etc. to suit a particular style or achieve a signature sound.
Now with all the "simulations" built into amps, apps and daws most of the fiddling can be done virtually, which is wonderful.
This guitar came setup perfectly in a cheap cardboard box from MF. The design and hardware are simple and solid and these noiseless P-90's seem suited to the 24 inch scale and have a bit of reverb-like shimmer. The 24 scale allows me to play intricate patterns and riffs that I haven't been able to do for years on standard necks. The super slinky string gauge allows me to bend freely.
Yes the finish is ugly. Yes the strat jack looks silly (but it does grasp the cord's plug with a satsfying click). Yes, I've never liked the CBS era headstocks. Oh well....
This is a GREAT sounding guitar and (when played through simulators) iconic tones from the last century jump out all over the place!
Let the fiddling begin.

I bought this guitar for myself and I cant believe the quality of it also it sounds amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone
kenny12345 owns this item
Man oh man, I love Fender, and I have loved my stratocaster for 6 years now, always loved the Design of the Jaguar, and now with the Modern Player, it is affordable, very playable, and the fact that the wood is MAHOGANY is enough to kick your shoes off. The tone is magnificent with the P-90's on there, bright and FULL sound. Versatile guitar, perfect if you play anything from Rock&Roll, to Hard Rock, Surf Rock, Reggae, virtually any style. Again, the Tone, Finish, Neck, and frets are all comfortable and amazing. Highly recommend this guitar for anyone looking for an outstanding piece.
RickyDee owns this item
Event though the sales guy complained of its weight as he brought it over, it suits me fine. The mahogany body looks tasty under the 2 tone chocolate burst finish. The balance is perfect when using a strap.
The neck is comfortable and smooth to play.
The pickups go from sizzling, high end honkyness to rolling off the tone knob to get a velvet laden boomy stereolike depth. Great sound in this price point, so I am undecided on aftermarket upgrades being necessary. I will have to adjust the action/bridge to suit me when I put on larger gauge strings, although the stock ones are comfortable and responsive.
I do not especially care for the jazz bass knobs, but as a bass player first - I did not care for them on the bass either. I can replace them simply enough. I love the top mounted Strat style output jack! The tuning keys are firm and solid.
I got this on a Columbus Day sale price, plus an instant in store rebate of $30, so I was out the door for under 300.00 - cha ching! Icing on the cake!
Check it out!
Kbkc09 owns this item
Relative to its price, this guitar is by far the best in terms of quality and playability out of any I've ever owned - though its quality would be competitive at any price.
I love the stripped-down aesthetic and the fact that all this simplicity is available in the Jaguar/Jazzmaster body shape...probably the coolest shape Fender make.
Short scale length and amazing action mean the easiest guitar I have ever owned to play.
The tone from the P90s is massive and has many layers...unique.
I love the tone, playability, as well as the price for this guitar. It was exactly the sound I was looking for. The finish and feel are excellent.
fhcaptain owns this item
I've been a hollowbody guitar player for years. Recently I decided that I need something solid that can handle all the fuzz I've been using live. I originally wanted something that tonally could be dark enough that the jump wouldn't be so drastically different for my sound. After testing quite a few guitars, this Jaguar seemed to be the best. The heavy body is very dark and thick in sound. The neck is amazingly thin and smooth. The pickups are a bit cleaner that the p-90s that I've been using. But nice enough where I'm not going to replace them for a while. Overall the quality is pretty incredible considering the price point. They few people who have picked it up totally fell in love with it. Two of them being owners of American Fender! I would totally recommend this to anyone who loves Fender but wants a super beefy fat sound! Its all wood.

After the excitement of Sunday's Oscars we're back to our regular Instagram Pics of the Day kicking off with Cara Delevingne. The model has been hanging out with designer Marc Jacobs who appears, like everyone else in the fashion industry, to have joined the Cara fan club as Delevingne fever reaches dizzying new heights at Paris Fashion Week. For Cara, the feeling is clearly mutual as she captioned the image "I love Marc Jacobs".
Meanwhile the model's bessie Rita Ora has left for Australia. The singer boarded a plane for Sydney straight after performing on the catwalk at the Etam show in Paris where she sported two tight French plaits high on either side of her head. She continued rocking the look all the way to the airport along with Prada shoes and Batman trousers.
Alexa Chung has gone all matchy matchy with her friend Tennessee Thomas. The pair are seen posing with matching 60s-inspired up 'dos, jumpers and jeans in the Fuse News presenter's Instagram pic with the caption "Just a couple of lads having a laddy time". Hard to imagine Alexa being a lad, but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
And finally, fresh from the Vanity Fair Oscars bash beautiful Miranda Kerr is back to work at the Victoria's Secret Fabulous launch. The star was joined by fellow Angel Behati Prinsloo at the brand's New York store where they showcased VS's brand spanking new line of bras, bikinis, and a new fragrance.

Unbelievable. A great big suprise.
Somebody you have not seen in many years who is supposed to be living on the other side of the globe shows up at your door and you say: "Dayum! Where the hell have you been?"
بواسطة Jennifer Rose اغسطس 16, 2005
You would use this interjection when you see a fine piece of ass. As this girl walks past you, you must lean back and exclaim this this phrase with impeccable timing. This is especially useful after watching a fine lady such as Danielle Conklin pass by.
DAYUM DConk! Since when were u so hot?!

a word that black kids (and white kids who copy everything black people say) use to sound like a over annunciated word of "damn." Usually used when somethings extremely exciting or calls for an out burst of "DAYUMMM" instead of just damn.

Nov 22, 2010The film was nothing more than another Hollywood publicity stunt driven by special effects. And the effects weren't spectacular anyway. The effects looked cheap, rushed, and was the only thing that was keeping this movie alive. The major downfall of this movie is that it was made to begin with. Not even great actors like Danny Glover could save this movie. Spending the entire time in a russian plane trying to escape disaster? Get real.… Expand
Aug 30, 2011Way too long and actually uninteresting. Predictable and terribly scripted, too with way too little self-aware comedy. No emotion and only one bright spot being Woody Harrelson
Jan 18, 2012Here we have an example of how to make a disaster movie. The formula is simple: add a boring plot that is completely science-fiction; slap on dull, uninteresting characters; and finally, make the story so ridiculously predictable that you can tell what is going to happen at the end during the first 40 minutes. While the special effects are incredible (easily some of the best I've seen in a movie), it suffers from bad characters, a dull story, and it's overly long length.… Expand
Nov 7, 2011This movie is brain damage on a projector screen. The special effects were clumsily misused so that rather than making something intense and interesting - it's boring and predictable. Cut the special effects from this movie and you are left with very little. But blaming the film makers is simple minded, it's the retarded adult movie goers who are to blame by watching and then letting these film makers get away with this rubbish. We actual could have a better film industry with better movies if people had bigger minds and weren't so easily entertained by this laughable joke. LAME.… Expand
Jul 16, 2012This movie is exactly what's wrong with most CGI-driven blockbusters. There is no character development, the acting and dialogue stink, there isn't a single original idea in the whole movie and it relied too much on bad science moments. Unimpressed to put it lightly.
Nov 18, 2011Although 2012 is very visually impressive, the film is very scientific incorrect and is very far fetched. The film many consists on SFX and BS moments instead of a good story.
Nov 23, 2011A movie where you find yourself laughing where you shouldn't have been laughing. It's in the film that you find yourself laughing at parts that are unintentionally hilarious, due to sloppy writing and the usual special effects driven trash. There's almost nothing in this movie to review, it was just a 2 hour coma, occasionally interrupted by a couple of special effects sequences, all of which are ridiculous in nature, and all of which look less and less impressive each time we are shown them. The characters are painfully bland and uninteresting, no depth to them whatsoever. Emerich's previous film in the disaster category; The Day After Tomorrow, should have been a clear indicator that the guy can't write inspired disaster films very well.There is far, far too much emphasis on special effects in this film. One thing that also intensely grated me was when I watched a trailer for this film, with the bold assertion on a title card "It could really happen". Sorry, Emerich, but when science and the Mayans themselves attach no special significance to 2012, don't try and think you can market your film as being scientifically supported and expect me to swallow the kind of **** you're selling. You did the same with The Day After Tomorrow, I didn't fall for it then, don't expect me to this time. Try making good films, Emerich, you might learn something.… Expand
Dec 12, 2011(January 14, 2010)
Are you ready for the year 2012? So many venues claim that come 2012 the world as we know it is going to come to an end, so why not make a generic, soul less, explosion happy film about it?
When I first heard that a movie was being made based off the happenings of 2012, I had hope that it would be more than a cliche end of the world movie, and actually go in depth on the behind the scenes topics of the year. Sadly clichÃ… Expand
Feb 7, 2012The worst film i watched! I am not believe in stories about the end of the world and I think that director of this film is an idiot! Don't spend your time and your many on such stuped film!
Jun 27, 2012Well, people justify a positive review by comparing this film with common movies made in Hollywood, and recently baked ones. Exactly, presently made in Hollywood. Except the universe is not Hollywood neither cinema was born today. If you still believe cinema was created a few years ago and you think the film industry gravitates Hollywood, well, you're wrong and you probably ate too much popcorn. You'll love this one if that's the case. Not in case, you'll only taste a synthetic audience statistics bombastic and orgasmic glutton of a C series packed with good actors. That's all, you'll be hungry few minutes after you've seen this rubbish, and when you get home you'll be pissed for wasting your money, believing in fairy promotional cultural religious tales. But as you said, it's Hollywood!… Expand
Dec 22, 2012So, John Cusack, Oliver Platt and Zlatko Buric are total dabblers in acting and Roland Emmerich is completely untalented in terms of writing. But 2012 is no 0-points-movie. There are some nice actors in this box-office-success and when the German director is making whole LA drown, it is impressive. But this movie is just unfavorable. This so damn overlong film is fully packed with buildings crumbling, waves overflooding great areas, earthquakes destroying whole cities and CGI everywhere. Too much of that, Mr. Emmerich! I have to grant him that he managed to put emotion in it with the family stuff surrounding John Cusack's role. This guy totally sucks at acting and his movie kids relegated him when they were playing together, but this one particular scene at the end of the movie touched me. But for all that it's not really hard to make such a scene emotional when you've got a nice soundtrack and a near-death-experience with a family as the story. So, is 2012 worth watching? Not really, because the FX aren't that good to make you enjoy the movie (I just overthought the movie and I get that you can never really enjoy a movie with such a plot!) and the dialogues are plain stupid. However, it's not that bad because of some nice actors and good editing, score and cinematography stuff.… Expand
Mar 8, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2012 is a deeply flawed and long-winded movie. It has some amazing special effects but they are used in such abundance that each time you see something majestic, you just know it's a computer generated image and not a set piece that was masterfully crafted by a craftsman that we'll still be watching pictures of 20 years later on (Robocop's ED-209, for example). If the horrible miscarriage of psuedo-science that the director has opted to portray wasn't enough to make you unable to be willing to suspend disbelief, knowing that almost every scene took place on a gigantic green tarp sure will. Especially two-and-a-half hours of CGI-viewing. Why on earth did this movie have to be so long? When we got to the 4th or 5th escape-from-disaster scene I just wished they would slam into something so we could move on to more interesting characters. Instead, they always got out on top. The acting wasn't bad, I think they did a good job with what they were given but most characters were just annoyingly optimistic or evil. Even though people claim that this is just a science-fiction flick solely intended to amuse us there is definitely a message to it as is evident from the conversations people have (Not fair that the workers aren't getting tickets, rich shouldn't be able to buy their way into salvation, et cetera) and the end scene of a gigantic connected landmass with Africa being the new center of the world. (Probably put a smile on Jimmy Cliff's face) Unfortunately, the message here is that individualism is great and that we're all terribly worthy of being saved and that human civilization up till this point has been awesome (The speech about how it's human to not leave anyone behind on the arc despite the absolute millions of murdered humans and destroyed habitats/species by civization before the movie was even conceived of.) and should continue to be awesome the way it was. (the "democratic" vote-scene to open the doors for the rich folks that wanted to get in) And, of course, the heroic, people's black American president refusing to take shelter and dying with his fellow countrymen. Unrealistic but cleverly compensated for by having the italian prime minister choosing the same course of action. Wouldn't want to make the Europeans feel like a bunch of cowards now would we? Once again, despite being "critical" of post-modern society, it's one of those "the more things change, the more they stay the same"-movies. This movie is a piece of Hollywood propaganda for the conformist, civilized masses that love the status-quo. Regardless, what really put me off was its length. Propaganda, poor acting and CGI-overload is fine but please, keep it within acceptable limits; some of us have brains that can be fried.… Expand
Jun 4, 2011After all these disaster films that Emmerich has thrown at us, he closes with an unsurprisingly stupid encore that is 2012 and yes this is the last disaster film he's going to throw at us, thank god. Like all the previous disaster films he made, lets list the obvious stupid: Lots of plot holes, inconsideration with factual science, tacky acting and the ability to make you look stupid. Since this film tackles the issue or at least try to of the survival of the human race, it is done so hypocritically and insensitively that you completely have no sympathy whatsoever. The main character is pretty much indestructible while the supporting characters are either death chowder or annoying plot devices and has completely no shame in thinking that the audiences are dumbasses. Upside; Effects look quite good. 'Nuff said.… Expand
Sep 28, 2010Just when I thought that Transformers 2 was the epitome of ridiculous movies, Columbia Pictures once again distributes a ludicrous film with 2012. Films are at times meant to create an alternate world for the audience to experience, but in this case, it does not apply to situations that are purely coincidental to the point of inanity. Roland Emmerich's 2012, is a speculation of what will occur on the infamous date of December 12, 2012. The film focuses on Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a failed writer who has recently gone through a divorce and is attempting to reestablish his family relationships. Meanwhile, the government is trying to cover up the pending apocalyptic event in order to save a select few individuals by building indestructible ships. When the earth-ending event occurs, Jackson Curtis tries to save his family in unbelievable and idiotic ways to reach China, the location of the modern day "Noah's Arc".
Up to this point, I have not qualified my complaints to this movie. In short and concise words, the whole movie is preposterous. For example, when Cusack is driving through the streets of Los Angeles, the whole city behind him is collapsing as he drives through it. Is it a coincidence that the earth shattering is occurring in the direction he is driving his limousine? Additionally, Cusack reaches a plane to escape to find out no one has the experience of piloting. His ex-wife's husband states that he has had two lessons and then he coincidentally drives the plane to almost near perfection. These are just some examples of 2012's ludicrous and laughable moments. They obviously speak for themselves and is the major flaw in the movie.
While these laughable moments of the film are its most significant blemishes, the dread does not stop there. As the same company that distributed Transformers 2, it seems that the company possesses a certain low standards of acting. With Megan Fox-tier acting - if you deem that acting - executed by the majority of the cast, it is a wonder why Woody Harrelson would succumb to be in a cast of this many D-listers. John Cusack does the same exact character he seems to always do, and that obviously is not of quality. Even though the cast is not top notch, the dialogue is even shoddier than the acting itself. With endless cliches ("we're tearing apart" *ground splits*), and strange European accents, nothing about the characters in the movie was redeeming.
2012 is another example of a modern day film with a hefty budget and lack of quality. To compliment the movie to some extent, the CGI was spectacular and is the superior aspect of the film. If extensive & mind-numbing entertainment is your type of movie, then by all means watch this film. But 2012's poor acting, plot, and dialogue were just too much for this movie-goer to the point of extreme revulsion.… Expand
Nov 2, 2010After watching this movie I wanted to world to end. I was so mad about wasting my money on this instead of waiting for it to come to cable (probably in the year 2012 haha). Only a good movie if you want to see special effects and things crumbling down.
Oct 2, 2010I must confess to being a little confused by this doomsday themed movie. Whilst obviously a cleverly constructed and well shot sequel, it appears to have picked up almost none of the story threads, none of the characters, and certainly none of the actors, from the movie that started the franchise. It's a fast-paced narrative, set 11 years after the end of the first movie, and introduced to a small group of new characters, led by the always reliable John Cusack, who confront a number of omens foretelling imminent cataclysmic events. As expected, they are soon struggling with a rapidly escalating series of natural disasters, always escaping with seconds to spare. In common with the first movie, there is a major plot-line involving contact with an alien race, but it is a completely new race of beings, at a very different stage of technological development, and with their own set of reasons for journeying to earth and assisting the human race. There is no doubting the craft and skill that has gone into the convincing creation of this chaotic world, and yet, I kept feeling shortchanged by the apparent abandonment of the storyline from the original movie. The glossing over of this discontinuity detracted from the spectacle, and I found myself wishing for more emotional substance to the story. Perhaps just a few scenes with the original movie's main characters David Bowman and Frank Poole would have provided this, not to mention some more time with the apes. On the plus side, it's filled with stunning scenes of destruction and mayhem, and who isn't excited by that kind of stuff? People scream and flee for their lives. Buildings crumple and crunch and snap. It's all very satisfying in the usual disaster movie way. There are frequent shots of cities and towns suddenly transforming into vistas of mass death and suffering, and who doesn't like to gorge on that kind of imagery? Clearly, it's a crowd-pleaser. Grab some popcorn, and go see it.… Expand
Oct 13, 20102012 is a pity. It could honestly be such a great movie, and at times it shows that potential. But marring with the amazing sight of a private plane barely soaring over a crumbling Las Vegas is the horribly shallow characters and the paper-thin plot line. The movie talks about a family and how they are able to magically survive disasters that kill billions of other people. Of course, the stepfather just received a pilot's license yet can navigate through narrow gaps between falling pieces of earth during a massive earthquake, why shouldn't he be able to? Even worse than the main characters were the secondary characters; you don't learn really anything about the Russian guy except that he has two kids and a wife. The worst part is near the end, when they throw away the stepfather and forget about him as if he never existed. If you want some amazing setpieces, this movie is for you. If you don't, then just forget about it.… Expand
Jan 16, 2011woow i can not believe how stupid and dumb this movie is, and i can not believe that many people liked it and if anyone gives a score above 4 must be a retard for real. 1 point for special effects, nothing else. this movie is like the disaster that happened in the actual scenes.
Dec 18, 2010It was basically the "Dude Wheres My Car" of disaster movies, plus it was too long, they could have chopped off 50 minutes and it still would have made sense.
Apr 3, 2011**** ****!1 ****!!!!!!!!!!!11 This movie well not scare the hell of me. Y'know this movie contains absurdities and cheesiness, multi-layerred cheesines.
Jul 27, 20112012 barely even catch the main theme, thinking that the world is going to be affected by natural disasters grabs my attention , but for a performance that mix's funny moments, exaggerated moments that feels unbelievable ( okay no movie is true of course ) . 2012 needed more realism and taking care of seriousness. Wait for 2013 people
Aug 14, 2012I particularly did not see any fun in this film is a kind of story that has been widely Wears and if you are not in order to see a movie "Everything is running out to save yourself if you can" again, then do not watch this movie.
Apr 14, 2013What an utter CGI crap. No story, lame characters with no depth, unbelievable action sequences. As bad as any other cheap "B" class catastrophe movie, just with a big budget. Avoid it
Feb 16, 2014Boring. This movie was boring. Even with all the effects, and all the visuals it just seemed to drag on forever. After an hour in I thought it felt like the end of the movie, but no. An hour and a half to go! Ugghh!
While it isn't any worse than many other disaster movie that came out before it, that is it's main problem. This has been done too many times before and 2012 isn't doing anything too unique. the effect are decent enough, but the lazy script and less than stellar performances from the cast make you wonder "Why should I care what happens to anyone in this movie?"
To sum this movie up: Action packed sleeping pill.… Expand
Mar 19, 2013Well I can say that this wasn't the best movie, but it was entertaining. The plot is basic world ending trying to get family to safety. The thing that drives the film are the effetcs which were good and believable. Other then that its boring. For the main part the acting was good especially the scene's between father-son and dad-son. Other then those two things the film would be nothing without the flashy special effects.I do feel comfortable saying that it is the best disaster film ever, but others might not. I do however think The Day After Tomorrow was better and written more clever. Watch if your bored or just want to see the world end in a clever way. [I appologize if any thing is messed up the space botton on the computeris messed up]… Expand
May 3, 2013Boy is Roland Emmerich a pro when it comes to disaster movies, and this one is no exception. This is probably one of his worse disaster movies, then again, they don't call it "disaster" for nothing. The storyline may be exciting, but when you put the rest of the elements in this storyline, you lose that perfect disaster movie you've been looking for. The story is a mess. It goes just all over the place. There are really some characters that you don't need to have in this movie (pretty much the Russian characters). As far as characters go, they're the worst part of the movie. They really make this movie sag and lose its feel. Honestly, I think this movie could have used a much better cast. Overall, this is the perfect example of a disaster movie.… Expand
Jun 11, 2014This movie is dumb and funny... that is just funny
You know that when you see an action scene and the characters are able to survive by sheer luck, you know something is wrong but then when you find yourself saying "this is hilarious" something is been done right... 2012 seem to be aware that the audience will keep their attention and not be bored has long has they keep much action has possible, witch always comes in the form of a chase scene it works for the attention span but the movie it self is brainless: the story is non-existent, acting is pretty bad, the action (despite being the highlight) were badly shoot, way too shaky and some effects were unconvincing...
The movie fulfills it's propose of being pop-corn fun, it will keep you entertained, but when it comes to the concept of being meaningful and have depth, specially when talking about the end of the world, is just meh... the film is just barely average.… Expand
Jul 19, 2013Bueno es tal vez algo pero algo tan impredecible queda como una teoría inconclusa en donde muchas personas se salvaron para reprovarla tal vez falta algo mas de credibilidad en la pelicula
Jun 13, 2013(sigh) oh look 2012, its about the world ending. This is like the 200th movie about the end of the world. So I saw the movie and it was really disappointing. Who wants to go to the movies to see a disturbing un joyful movie? I waited for the movie to come out on redbox because the movie looked like sh*t! This movie on the other hand was a waste of millions of dollars for universal and the producers, etc. I wasn't surprised of what i saw. Yes i have to admit it kept you wondering what's going to happen next. But overall not so great film 3.9 out of the 10. A pointless movie...… Expand
Jul 5, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh, dearie, dearie me....I knew there was going to be questionable science, but I thought I would put that aside for a nice couple of hours of fun; I was wrong.
The special effects in this movie are amazing. And that's about it. There are very few action scenes and the ones that do exist do little to grab your attention.
The rest of the film consists of dull dialogue and, even worst, characters that you simple do not care for. Any one of them could have died (and lots of them did) and you still wouldn't care less.
For example, a young, Indian scientist, the person who actually first accumulated the "scientific" data and drew people's attention to what was about to happen, was promised safety for him and his family. Stranded, his first thought is to call his friend and give him vital information, telling him that the tsunami he, his wife and son are staring down is actually coming from the east (something that hadn't been predicted), and after calmly saying that his ride never arrived, he says goodbye. Yeah, right.
This is probably the most emotional scene of the whole film. All the characters are so stereotyped, it gets difficult not to predict their next move.
And the product placement in the film unbelievable! This film was obviously brought to you by Kellogs, Bentley, Vaio laptops, Cesar's Palace (my God, even the dog was named Cesar!) and many, many more....
I was yawning from start to finish, and it's a way toooooo long way to the finish (2hr and 40min)....… Expand
Jun 13, 2014Full of clichés, bad acting and headache inducing cgi.
One would think that a film driven solely by special effects would at least manage to get them right.
Avoid it at all costs.
Jan 22, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie "2012" is one of the cruelest I´ve ever seen. It´s unrealistic, the effects and the actors are bad, it´s sad and the plot is extremely poor.… Expand
Nov 3, 2013A film arise and prosper only expressing a story, an idea or even just a vision... Surely a proper budget, good actors and director, a fair crew, all of this are also important factors and should not be underestimated. This film have only a big budget, some decent actors and a fair director. Also, it fails as a pure disaster movie, taking himself too seriously and resulting obvious and banal.… Expand
Eye-popping special effects ensure that this movie will be a smash hit, and while it's entertaining for most of its excessive running time, the cheesy script fails to live up to the grandeur of the physical production.
The visual effects are pretty sensational, delivering the cutting-edge CGI goods auds want and expect. It will be hard to watch "Earthquake'' ever again after this one.
The two-hour-and-40-minute 2012 is overstuffed with special-effects, but the Curtis clan's mad dash out of town is the closest the movie gets to actually being fun.

The discs are packaged in a pile all on top of each other with no holders or separators. I've never seen DVDs packaged like this, Major design flaw. Other then that, this show is flawless and i'm thrilled to have the entire series at such a great price.
Great price,great quality,,met all of my expectations,and now I can sit back and enjoy one of the best sitcoms ever on television .
This was as a gift and it was exactly what I wanted and delivery was very timely.
I was a little nervous purchasing the King of Queens, after reading the reviews.Some were stating that the quality of the DVD was poor. That it was shakey, so much so that they checked the DVD player. The quality of the picture is excellent. I did have to spend an extra couple of dollars on jewel cases to store each disc. They did come packaged on a spindle. I did know this before i made my purchase. But even with purchasing the cases, It still comes at a great price! You cant find any other complete 9 season series for even half the cost! I am very very Happy!
A very good deal for every episode of the series. Some of the episodes are in HD and others are not, but for the price of the set, I can easily overlook this!
Love this show!! Item as described and received it quickly!! Thanks overstock.com!!!

Robert's DVD is the best way to learn how to work with Faux Bone™ if you have not been able to take a workshop with him. With sharp attention to detail, Robert covers the basics you need to get started!
About Faux BoneFaux Bone™ is a new, user friendly, inexpensive and extremely versatile material. Faux Bone™ can be cut, and carved, sawn and sanded. It can be filed, hammered, polished, drilled, stamped, riveted, inlayed, dyed, and painted. It can look like ivory, have the patina of aged ceramic, be polished to a pure white, or, of course, look like bone. You can heat and bend it with nothing more than a small embossing heat-gun. It is so strong you can rivet on it, die form right into it, or hammer metal around it. Faux Bone is perfect for artwork as varied as jewelry and book making, sculpture, or printmaking. It can be easily embossed to make texture plates for PMC and basket makers can use it to simulate Scrimshaw on the tops of Nantucket Baskets. Rounds of Faux Bone™ can be heated and dapped (formed into a bowl shape) and filled with other materials or combined to make hollow beads. Its strength makes it ideal for use in tool making such as bone folders for bookmaking or as handles for files and stamps. It can be carved and used for printmaking and then the Faux Bone™ "plate" can be patinated as a finished piece itself. And all of this is just the beginning!

So Wait...... Tears of the Vanquished, or Lunar Dust?
So Wait...... Tears of the Vanquished, or Lunar Dust?
Tahriel. The best opption for you would be Talisman of Resurgence (which you have equiped) and Solace of the Fallen (N/H) or if you cant get your hands on one of those then Purrified lunar dust (60 Frost emblems) I dont think you should have mana problems if you DP twice in a fight, using Divine Illumination (2p T10 bonus needed) for the first and Avenging Wrath + Talisman of Resurgence for the second one.
I have noticed that your spell power is really low, because your gear is missing a lot of enchantments. (sry blame the armory site if this is not true here) You want to make sure that your average Holy Lights heal for at least 50% of the DpCT (damage per cast time) of the boss. That means if the boss auto hits for 10k every second and your Holy Light is 1.5 second cast you need to be putting out 15k avg Holy Lights.

I have used TheraPro Arnica oil since I started my practice in 2008 and have always received amazing results. In my practice, this oil is a MUST
I use this as a carrier oil and add others to it. Very good for sore muscles and backaches.
This product has become a vital part of my practice. It offers quick and safe pain relief for my clients, while also helping me with self care for my hands. On a personal note, there would be uncomfortable work days if I did not have this product.
This is a great product for people with bruises or injuries.
This product has a very strong scent. Also the main ingredient is peanut oil. It also has almond oil. This makes the product difficult for allergies and people who prefer non-scented. I can really only use non-scented products. Also I expected arnica oil to be in the first 3 ingredients. The smell is nice but very strong.

Suicide website creator arrested for murder
Police in Japan arrested a man who ran an internet suicide help site for allegedly being a little too helpful. Kazunari Saito, a 33-year-old electrician, was taken into custody yesterday for allegedly giving Sayaka Nishizawa, 21, sleeping pills and afterwards suffocating her — all at the victim's previous request to die. Saito …
Uhm guys.
Well I just CAME from 4Chan, and they linked here, so you uhm... can probably expect a lot of mudkips flying around any time soon.
To comment on the article: why sleeping pills?
Why not jump off a building?
And poison has long been avoided by women as a suicide means, because it screws up the face.
Who did what to whom?
I know Japanese names all look the same but there seems to be several switcheroos in the article regarding suicidee and genders. No?
suicide capital
Was in Japan for a bit. I can understand why they commit suicide. Unrelenting pressure to conform. Huge pressure to fit in, be just like everyone else, to not stand out or be "different" in any way. But an equal and completely opposite pressure to be innovative and imaginative in order to find new ways to consume and create new things that can be consumed, while still meeting the strictures of a work life that completely denies innovation or creativity! It's a society with lots of good things, but also huge numbers of pitfalls.
Females actually choose poison far more often than males do, at least in the United States.
On another topic entirely, I was also looking forward to a torrent of desu and exploding van posts. What happened?
Yeah but....
Where's the Paris Hilton angle?
...coat already on and taxi has arrived...
"Revenge, drugs, assisted suicide, et cetera. I will do anything. For more details and rates, go to the web site or email me," according to officials.
I suppose this guy has a few loose screws, maybe he was also one of the Britney album pirates?
Paris angle anyone?
Suicides an alternative...
...but you'll be sorry...
RE: suicide capital
I've been looking for a suitable answer to the question "why do Japanese people kill themselves so frequently?"
I thank you for that
At the same time... Where is the paris hilton angle? Can we please see the contorted dried up face of paris after she's found dead of some kind of poison overdose?
Please remember
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temperary problem.
Paris Hilton angle?
perhaps it was being suggested that Paris Hilton should be visiting aforementioned website?
Like the above poster, i'm at a total loss as to why anyone would risk sleeping pills (you might be discovered and have your stomach pumped, might throw them up involuntarily, etc) or for that matter poison, slit wrists, hanging, and a million other contrived forms of suicide when jumping off a really tall building is a) almost certain to kill you b) really good fun and c) lets you go out with a bang.. or at least, a splat.
@Quinten Lansu
Rules 1 & 2
Anyway - Japan does have a slightly different view on suicide than us. But more to the point have you watched their Dramas? And I mean live action not anime. I mean god damn the fact that they arn't all throwing themselves like lemmings from the ceilings of high rises is amazing.
Even rather funny entertaining series like sexy voice and robo have a really rather miserable ending.
Nice Boat.
Screwing up the face ?
If you're worried that poison will screw it up, I seriously doubt that jumping off a tall building is going to have a better effect.
I'll be honest.
Im a part of the 4chan anons and stumbled upon it on accident several years ago. However, I've been addicted to that site ever since. But Im extremely surprised that it has such a large online footprint and amused at how many websites can mention it in passing and (almost) everyone involved knows about it. I guess gone are the olden days where it was just an obscure site where smart people acted like retards and retards acted like smart people.
"like pissing in an ocean of piss indeed"
Oh, and dear 'anonymous coward' above me, rules 1 & 2 only apply to the place which shall not be mentioned within 4chan, but just mentioning 4chan is by no means breaking said rule.
Oh and yeah, isnt euthanasia illegal in the western countries too?
I found the IT angle! Do I get a prize?
Remember, killing yourself is stealing from the state, and very illegal!
Also, I'm noticing a disturbing trend: this week it's getting very difficult to dig out the IT angle from the suicide, autoerotic asphyxiation, gun nut type articles. These are "the defendant ran a web site", "no excuse needed", and "he used email to express his opinion", respectively...not always immediately obvious. El Reg should IMO be better about ensuring that its stupider readers can locate said angle.)
never hurts to remind people of rules 1&2 just incase they forget that they're not to mention that place.
And I was talking more of the normal suicide folks then the crazy website guy who goes out to help people top themselves, and their dramas erally are miserable lol.
Anyway I know I'm really bored when I fall back on that place that shall not be named, the other boards and rest of the interweb generally keep me satisfied.
And the Memes spread like wild fire just becouse their memes, just look at poor old serious cat.
Last sentence not funny
I really dislike the flippant attitude displayed in the last sentence of this article. Suicide is not painless and is not a "national pastime." That there are so many suicides every year in Japan is an issue which should be investigated and resolved rather than making jokes about.
In The Words of Dorothy Parker...

I bought mine to put inside garage door. Hard wired motion detector light kept going on the fritz. Not really bright enough, but does show where the light switch is for the garage lights.
Perfect Mighty Light
By De
from Oregon
We installed these on the outside wall of our RV. As we walk around it, each light comes on in a timely manner. Love these lights. Bought extra just in case they stop making them. We've had some for a long time. Work great. Recommended to more then a couple of people.

Totaly Awesome!
By Ellen
from Kezar Falls Maine
I use this light in our three season room to let our pets in and out at night! It is easier than trying to find the light switch. I have it set to go on the moment we open the door. This is such a great product I purchased 8 more for Christmas gifts! Would have purchased more, but I bought out the entire inventory of the store!

Use it for stairways, at night, when lights go out. Thousands of uses.

Brooke Hogan recently revealed on Twitter that she experienced an earthquake for the first time in her life. The former TNA knockout is now living in Los Angeles, where she is still attempting to launch her music career.
Shelton Benjamin is on the sidelines after having elbow surgery, but that doesn't mean that he's avoiding the wrestling ring. The former WWE star recently was a guest trainer at a seminar held by Booker T in Houston.
Shelton Benjamin revealed that he had successful surgery on his elbow this past Tuesday. The former WWE star is now back at home and recovering. The elbow has been bothering him for quite some time now, and he needed the surgery to avoid long term risk to his health.
"As of tonight Im taking time off from wrestling to take care of a long neglected medical issue. So I assure you all I will not be at the Royal Rumble. Basically I have a pinched Ulner nerve in my elbow that causes lose of sensation, motor function, muscle atrophy & eventually use of my hand. So before things get bad i gotta take quick pause. But after 12 years and no major injuries pro wrestling this I consider very minor"
Through Twitter, Shelton Benjamin revealed that the biggest regret he has about his time in WWE was the fact that he never got to participate in any of the Tribute to the Troops show that the company does on a yearly basis.
Shelton Benjamin went on a little shopping spree, as the former WWE star purchased the brand new PS4, several games and extra controllers.
Edge won Royal Rumble 2010 by last eliminating John Cena. The other contestants in the match include Batista, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, JTG, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, MVP, R Truth, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Triple H, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.

Taste - An American Bistro at The Hilton Phoenix Chandler reviews from OpenTable diners
- Easter BrunchHappyFoodieDined on 4/20/2014Unfortunately, we did not go to the Bistro yet, but spent Easter Brunch at the Hilton. It was nicely decorated, there was a great variety of food, and champagne/mimosas for the adults! The brunch was reasonably priced and the food was good. I liked the omelet bar and the prime rib and ham were very moist and tender. Great variety of fresh fruits, and other breakfast and lunch items were available. The desserts were tasty too! We liked it so much we are going back for Mother's Day. Hope to try the Bistro for our anniversary. I didn't even know the Hilton was in that location until recently! (near Chandler mall)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I went to Taste on Valentine'sOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2013I went to Taste on Valentine's Day 2013 with my fiancee. We were expecting a special occasion restaurant because of its listing on this site. The dress code was listed as smart casual, but the actual vibe of the place was like a Denny's. The steak I ordered was excellent, while the It is a diner attached to the Hilton in Chandler, visited by families. Our experience while not terrible, was not the evening out we hoped for.Special Features:
- A+ Service - Will Be BackKentonHJohnsonDined on 9/24/2012Superior, friendly service. Even picked us up near our timeshare when the bus didn't show, and went the extra mile to use our OT certificate. A+Special Features:
- JEANNE'S BIRTHDAY LUNCHbirthdaytimeVIPDined on 6/18/2012THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK ME IN WITH OPEN TABLE, SO I'M SO HAPPY TO KNOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED THE FOLLOWING DAY.Special Features:
- Great Food & Service; Poor SettingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/9/2012Great food (a real chef runs the kitchen) and great service -- but the setting (at the end of the lobby with no partition between the loud lobby and bar) resembles the breakfast room as which is also serves rather than a fine dining venue. The furniture is lovely -- but something needs to be done about the setting to attract the clientele that would enjoy the excellent food and service.
- I was the first to order theOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/14/2012I was the first to order the pork chop that was new on the menu. The chop was good but not exceptional. The house salad was however, outstanding. I would return just for that salad.
- I took my wife out for ValentinesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2012I took my wife out for Valentines Day dinner at Taste and we enjoyed the food, service and atmospheric ambiance of the decor and lighting. As delicious as the food is, the portions could have been a bit more. When food is as great tasting and appealing to the eye as it is at this bistro you tend to want more. I will certainly spread the word around to my friends and colleages. We even reunited with old friends that evening. A former coworker of mine was seated at the table right next to us. Funny that we were seated next to each other and were both second guessing each other until I finally asked him if he was that person. We loved your food and service. See you again real soon.Special Features:
