Run for your lives! 2012 is 158 minutes long!

Yes, according to both Arclight and IMDB, 2012 is 158 minutes long! Yes, it's longer than The Dark Knight, longer than Sex & The City: The Movie, longer than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's longer than every Harry Potter movie except Chamber of Secrets and is just as long as There Will Be Blood. The spouse is gonna owe me big time for this (I should make her see The Road with me just for revenge). As expected, the word is that the disaster footage comprises about twenty-minutes of the film (and yes, all of the big scenes are in the trailer). Maybe I can convince her to go with her sister while I babysit. After all, she loves disaster porn (guess who had to watch Mega-Fault a couple weeks back?), so she really should be writing the inevitable review. If Cade Courtley is reading this, perhaps he should consider a quick how-to episode about how to endure Roland Emmerich's 2012. After all, I want to be a survivor, not a statistic.
