I have no problem with a Director taking any aspect and making a movie of it. Although I have definite thoughts on this movie, I take care to tell you, it is his right and license to do as he thinks. The movie is his vision, with his research, it was designed as a final biblical authority on this matter. I do not criticize him, but look at the movie itself and its genre. P.S. on this matter, a Directors vision does not make it correct or the truth!

The other night we watched 2012. I would never, well almost never, go out to pay for a movie. We have a cheap seats theatre, but even in those 3.50 dollar a seat movie, we don’t usually go. We rented this movie at redbox. It was 2.5 hours or thereabout of pure unadulterated movie hype. Brought to you by computer tech savvy, green screens, and good acting. It featured a script with a few ideas adapted from the biblical repertoire, and modern prophetic scare tactics. Along with this it wove in its fabric a stellar humanistic theme and Unitarian world view. It added the ‘green theme’, ‘mother earth’ end time adaptation to bring it in union with the directors other endeavors.

Acts 14:17  Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

When Labor Day approaches the summer season is over, leastwise around these parts. I know this because I Have spent time, endless hours in the course of servicing tourists, for example during my time at Grand Teton national park, the season ended with Labor Day. That seems far ago, almost in another Galaxy so to speak. It was during a time right after our daughter graduated, moving out we also left home after selling out. We took up residence in a small RV and went to the Grand Teton Park. While there we both kept jobs at the park and learn the massive task of caring for of thousands of employees and even more tourists.

It was then as well both my wife and I warned the employees, friends we developed, and anyone who would listen for more than a few minutes of the coming trouble we knew was arriving on our shores and in the world. I remember distinctly walking down the main path from our residence in the early morning. Usually when I had a break, which was not very often. It was then I would look at the morning sun gleaming on the panhandle of Mount Moran. It was a gorgeous atmosphere to work in, but it was very stressful, with millions of visitors, all of whom had to be taken care of. When Labor Day arrived, we were more than ready to leave the park. We were part of those groups of people who were employed seasonally by various National park service companies. We had been employed by the GTLC.
