New 2012 trailer, you guys:

I do not trust you, Roland Emmerich! Admittedly, you didn't even direct Deep Impact, and yet when I watch this trailer I can't help but think of Deep Impact. Namely, the part in Deep Impact where the SPOILER ALERT asteroid makes a deep impact in the ocean and sends the ocean everywhere and it looks like we're all going to drown in the ocean, except for the people who run to the top of the hill the fastest? That hill is so high! It is safe! And the water is lava! And the pillows are quicksand! Lame. And besides, even if you didn't actually direct Deep Impact, you did direct The Day After Tomorrow, and if it's true that in Roland Emmerich's world, Jake Gyllenhaal can outrun ice and close the door in ice's face, then surely John Cusack can know how to fly a jet plane through the sun, or whatever.

In any case, Fandango.
