It's the end of the world, and we feel tipsy - this week on Alcohollywood, we watch the Roland Emmerich disaster flick 2012 and figure out just how worried we should be about the coming Mayan apocalypse (Hint: not at all). Follow John Cusack and a bloated ensemble cast of international actors, all slumming it for cash, as they alternately engage in philosophical hand-wringing about the end of the world and evade one CGI sequence after another. Despite some engaging disaster porn, it's still pretty overlong, and you can see entire characters and plot progressions lifted wholesale from Emmerich's previous disaster flicks (Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow). At the same time, we've got a custom cocktail and drinking rules to get you through to the other side!
