It's called a rouge planet. It's something that could absolutely happen. It's very unlikely but certainly not impossible. And just like in the movie, if it did happen, we'd be fucked. Even if a planet that size didn't hit Earth, coming that close without a collision would greatly change Earth's orbit or possibly even throw us out of our own solar system.

I thought Mars was the rouge planet?

PP. curious why you revived this thread.

I just watched it again and it has an abysmal rating on Netflix. I enjoy the movie and wanted to see other's thoughts on it. Seems to be a movie you loved or hated. Most of the people who hated it I've noticed, never finished it. They just leave a reply like "It was so boring after 1/2 I stopped watching. This movie sucks!!" Finish the movie before casting judgment.

Hmm... depressive indie art house movie or major box office movie for chubby black eye liner emo teens? I don't really think they're competing against each other, but maybe that's just me?

If you don't want to see a depressive indie arthouse flick or a teenage movie, I have a suggestion for you. The latest Adam Sandler. I believe it's called "Jack and Jill". A real hoot, and a lot of fart jokes.

get with the times, Grandma. Jack and Jill came out years ago. There's been more drivel since then.

You're the one responding to a post from 2011, so maybe you should get with the times?

Good catch. But I still say "Antichrist" was worse than "Melancholia".

Hang in there PP! It get wo......I mean, better! Yes, it gets better!

OMG this is on Showtime right now and I can't make it. I always wanted to see it to see what the hype, good or bad, was all about. It just came on at like 10pm and has just been super slow. Ugh!

I was pretty angry at George Lucas for wasting my time with the 3rd installment of his star wars prequels.

Two words: Old Boy

Then you probably haven't seen "El Topo."

Do you only watch documentaries?

I loved this movie. Finally, a human extinction film that focuses on the individual personal effect, not street riots and urban mayhem. Very moving.

I will say that Waterworld was verey distasteful, but Melancholia was much worse for me. Waterworld at least had a plot. Lars Von Trier somehow believes that there is a correlation with hoplessness and entertainment; I do not see being miserable as fun.

I think this is the difference between lovers and haters of movies like Melancholia. Haters believe that films, books, photography are only to entertain. It never ever occurred to me to think that Trier is an entertaining kind of director. Stick with Twilight - it is very entertaining.
