| | Only thing less likely than Moon suddenly getting on collision course is that we will be able to prevent the collision. Wait. I see he lowered the bar even more with only THREE people somehow fixing it without help of rest of NASA ... how do they even get to space without help? -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 23:14, 29 December 2021 (UTC) | | Only thing less likely than Moon suddenly getting on collision course is that we will be able to prevent the collision.

| | :"[O]ne astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman" is grammatically confusing. That could be either three people (assuming it's an omitted Oxford comma) or one person (an astronaut named Brian Harper who spreads conspiracy theories under the pseudonym "K.C. Houseman"). It needs at least one more comma if "Brian Harper" is supposed to be an appositive [[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.77|162.158.78.77]] 06:06, 30 December 2021 (UTC) | | :"[O]ne astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C.

| − | To be fair, Shakespeare not writing Shakespeare is NOT the idea of Emmerich, and the idea was so seriously discussed that it has a Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_authorship_question [[Special:Contributions/141.101.77.64|141.101.77.64]] 09:34, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

| − | :Plenty of Emmerich's listed disaster films use stupid ideas other people thought of—he's hardly the first person to have said 2012 would be the End Of the World. But fair enough; I just thought it was an amusing aside. [[User:GreatWyrmGold|GreatWyrmGold]] ([[User talk:GreatWyrmGold|talk]]) 20:41, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

| − | I think Ronald is an amateur :-D. The Danish director Lars von Trier managed, in ''{{w|Melancholia (2011 film)|Melancholia}}'' to let the Earth hit into a planet large enough that Earth could have been it's moon. Of course his budget was rater smaller so the explosions are not so cool. But the damage was total obliteration, and no rescue team, hence the title matches the film --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:42, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

| − | :There was also {{w|When Worlds Collide (1951 film)}} (imagine what Ronald/Bay would have done, with the full power DreamWorks rendering, or similar). Though (as everyone knows) when the Moon leaves orbit it {{w|Space: 1999|goes ''away'' from the Earth}} at a strangely plot-friendly velocity that lets them both pass many extrastellar worlds (roughly one a week!) and yet still visit and return from them a convenient number of times while they are somehow still in range of their limited spacecraft...

| − | Call me someone living under a rock (hopefully not a Moon-sized one, descending at great speed) but, in seeing the edit to rephrase the release as a thing now happened, I just realised that I've seen practicaly no advertising ''or'' reviews for this film. This comic is basically the entirety of the information I have seen about this film even existing, except for a half-glimpsed trailer back in January when I glanced up from the book I was reading, during a TV ad-break, and realised that the current fuss (between the usual commercial nonsense) was a typically abbreviated trailer, and almost immediately ended, never to be seen again. I presume it is (or was) on at the local multiscreen, but they no longer post their weekly schedules up like they used to, so even when I pass the entrance I remain uninformed. (Is it as good as we expected? Or 'as good'?) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.162.77|172.70.162.77]] 18:48, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
