2012 in 150 Words or Less

That was the longest, most massively-budgeted CG-onslaught of a commercial for Pull-Ups that I have ever seen. A big step up from this, that's for sure:

I guess the tidal waves represented the end-result of an untrained bladder? And the arks were the Pull-Ups themselves? And the shifting tectonic plates and neutrinos were all those forces, parental, stress, what have you, that lead the poor child to pissing themselves. The Earth is a bed-wetter. Man, Roland Emmerich is deep.

The product placement in the film was astounding all the way through (that wall of Chunky soup behind Amanda Peet in the grocery store!), but I couldn't believe that the final line, the FINAL WORDS OF THE FILM, were about Pull-Ups. That's gotta be a first, no? it really did make the entire movie seem like an ad.

All this said, I thought the special effects were some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful ones I've ever seen projected onto a screen. Awesome in both the frat-boy sense and the more literal overcome-with-awe sense.
