Have any of you seen 2012, the movie based on the notion that ancient Indian texts predicted the world will end in three years and that those ancient Indians were somehow right? I’ve actually had Christians ask me about that, if there might be anything to it. If any of you would like to report on the movie, I’d be glad for your comments.
In the meantime, another apocalyptic end-of-the-world tale is coming to the silver screen, The Road, based on Cormac McCarthy’s depressing novel about a father and son trying to survive after an unspecified catastrophe wipes out civilization. That’s fine. But what’s intriguing is that the makers of the movie are trying to market it specifically to Christians. They have signed up the same PR firm that has pushed “The Passion of the Christ,” the Narnia movies, and other religious-themed movies, inviting pastors to pre-release showings and setting up special deals for churches. (Pastors, watch for your invitations.)
