What Time of Day Will the World End?

[Scatter]

Too bad Karen isn't buying into this either, maybe I could have talked her into letting me buy a bunch of monster items.  Just so I could go out happy.  Then a great big "OOPS" on the morning of the 22nd.

Wives are SO selfish.

[Fester]

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the Mayan Apocalypse:




But then, maybe this is what the Mayans were on about . . .

Diane Sawyer said it was cancelled.
I think it because there was no funding for it.  The govenment has 5000 years until the world ends again.  They should be able to save up some money by then.

TCM is goin' out in style! Here's the Fri. end of the world schedule!

7:00 AM
The Lost Missile  (1958)
Dir: William Berke Cast:  Robert Loggia , Ellen Parker , Philip Pine. 71 min.
Super-hot alien missile circles Earth, setting fires and melting cities. Loggia races against time to destroy it before it reaches N.Y.C. Too cheap for its ideas, but Loggia is good. Ending is surprisingly downbeat. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8:30 
The Satan Bug   (1965)
Dir: John Sturges Cast:  George Maharis , Richard Basehart , Anne Francis. C- 115 min.
John Sturges directed this sizzling suspenser about a nerve-racking chase to recover flasks of a lethal virus which were stolen from a government lab by a deranged and dangerous scientist. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:30 AM
The Last Man On Earth (1964)
Dir: Sidney Salkow Cast:  Vincent Price , Franca Bettoja , Emma Danieli . 87 min.
A deadly virus turns most of the world's population into blood-drinking ghouls.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12:00 PM
The Bed Sitting Room (1969)
Dir: Richard Lester Cast:  Rita Tushingham , Ralph Richardson , Peter Cook . C- 91 min.
New Wave director Richard Lester joins former members of THE GOON SHOW to create a series of comic sketches about a post-nuclear London.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2:00 PM
Five (1951)
Dir: Arch Oboler Cast:  William Phipps , Susan Douglas , James Anderson . 91 min.
Intriguing, offbeat film by famed radio writer-director Oboler about the survivors of an atomic holocaust. Talky (and sometimes given to purple prose) but interesting. Filmed in and around Oboler's Frank Lloyd Wright house.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4:00 PM
Panic in Year Zero (1962)   
Dir: Ray Milland Cast:  Ray Milland , Jean Hagen , Frankie Avalon . 92 min.
A vacationing family tries to survive the aftermath of nuclear war.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6:00 PM
The World, The Flesh, And The Devil (1959)
Dir: Ranald MacDougall Cast:  Harry Belafonte , Inger Stevens , Mel Ferrer . 95 min.
Belafonte and Stevens are only survivors of worldwide nuclear accident; their uneasy relationship is jarred by arrival of Ferrer. Intriguing film starts well, bogs down halfway through, and presents ridiculous conclusion. Best scenes are at beginning, when Belafonte is alone in an impressively deserted Manhattan.

I'll make the popcorn.

If you take into account that the Mayans probably did not observe daylight savings time or leap years the Mayan apocalypse came and went without anyone noticing, my oreo says we will be okay.

yup the end has already happened years ago.

[Mike Scott]

yup the end has already happened years ago.

"World Ends! Film at eleven!"

[Wicked Lester]

The world is not going to end. This is a time of change/ramped up earth changes that have been happening for a few years already. The only thing many experts are concerned about are ramped up solar flare caused by EMP's that could take out huge grids. Anything with a microchip gets toasted.. No lights ,water, gas etc.
I do have a months worth of food,water etc stored up but didn't go with buying a few guns like I was going to. If it doesn't happen I just consider it proactive shopping.

"The Bed Sitting Room" is British farce taken to its most absurdist.  I mean, radiation poisining mutating people into furniture!

As you will see, the Brits certainly have confidence in their subways!

This one won't be for everyone, but I love it.  Marty Feldman always knocks me out - even though many of the movies he has appeared in simply are badly written.

But, I don't want to spend my last hours watching TV.  I want to go outside and watch it all fall apart/explode'implode/end with a bang/end with a whimper/fade to black.  I'd hate to miss that show!

Let's all gather together and go out singing and whistling "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life".

Singing is a good thing .. but we need to vote on the song.

You planning on having a big appetite after THE WORLD FREAKING ENDS!?!?!?

[Monsters For Sale]

Singing is a good thing .. but we need to vote on the song.

OK. Let's compile a list of end of the world song to be sung.  I nominate:


1.  Always Look On the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python

2.  We'll Meet Again - Vera Lynn (Dr. Strangelove)

3.  It's the End of the World as We Know It  - R.E.P.

3.  We'll All Go Together When We Go - Tom Lehrer

              Your nominations?


This is important work.  Like you, I want to take all preparations for The End.  I'd hate to spoil the whole thing by having everyone singing different songs.

When the world DOESN'T end on Dec. 21st, remember to look to the nighttime skies at midnight, Dec. 22nd, and say, "Thank you, Doctor! You saved us again!"

More likely, "WHAT?  Postponed AGAIN?"
