Mayan Apocalypse 2012: Things We Need To See Happen Before It All Ends

From what we can gather, the world will not end in December of 2012. Not even the Mayans, who are credited with creating the calendar that birthed this apocalyptic myth, actually believe we're heading rapidly toward the end of days.

Still, even the notion of total earthly destruction got us thinking: if we had just one year left, what would we want to have happen in the world of entertainment? We'd sure need some distractions, and there are plenty of things we've either been waiting to see go down for years now, or just find too amusing to not include on a list of things we desperately want to occur.

Here's a sampling of our dream list; add your own in the comments! And Happy New Year!

I read a good book about the Mayan Apocalypse called Andy Foster's Apocalyptic Journal. It can be bought on Lulu.com.

I just want to see The Hunger Games. Gary Oldman winning an Oscar would be pretty nice, too. He deserves it.

"Kim Kardashian Marries Kim Kardashian, Divorces three months later" A bunch of random nonsense.

Well, at least no trees were harmed in the writing of this "article".

Oh, my, was this torture. The kids who do the newspaper at the high school where I work are much more clever.

Seriously, if you need to fill space that badly, then go back to writing insightful, important articles.

Huckabee is still alive so that eliminates him as a possibility.

I have been hearing now on the radio for a week that Beyonce is in labor..yeah right..my guess is the surrogate is either reneging or this baby she is having is not due and Beyonce screwed up the date when she first started this sham of a pregnancy.

yes, I so agree, Gary Oldman should win an Oscar already!!

Also, push up the release of HUNGER GAMES.

Shorten the winter and summer hiatus for tv shows (well..us regular folks have to work through the year, don't we?)

Find out who January Jones' baby daddy is.

More original screenplays, less remakes.

I'm looking forward to the end of all the end of the world talk in 2013.

The crazies are not gonna stop, they're gonna say 2012 is an approximate date and they'll go on all the way into the 2020s.
