Ring in the Rapture with End of the World Movies
Tomorrow is the Rapture according to like 3 people and everyone’s just kinda gone along with it. I can’t wait for 2012 when that’s what the entire year will be. (By the way folks, there’s such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy).
But I figured what better opportunity to watch some end of the world movies to get you right into the spirit! Oh, and quick funny story… when I was searching for images for this post, I found a lot of similar images to the “Rapture” as shown above… doesn’t it look suspiciously like the image from Skyline? Maybe Jesus is an alien wanting to drink our blood? Haha. Had to add SOME controversy to this right?
These are the 10 movies I’m contemplating watching this weekend!
28 Days Later, does it get more ‘real’ than seeing the streets of London completely empty? Waking up to a silent world has to be the closest thing to a post-raptured world if we didn’t have Twitter to inform us of what’s going on.
The Core, Birds start going nuts, major storms… all because the Earths core stops it’s rotation. Birds dropping from the skies, magnetic pole shift, major storms? Where have we heard this before….
Miracle Mile, You pickup an accidental phone call, who’s caller tells you there’s 70 minutes until nuclear missiles hit… you know before everyone else… But not for long. How will you react tomorrow at 6PM if the Rapture happens?
2012, When everything that could go wrong does… The Rapture and the buzz around it will pale in comparison to what the buzz will be for all of next year!
I Am Legend, Ugh, if Jesus Raptures everyone tomorrow except for me… I’m going to be slightly pissed. But slightly happier that I don’t need to deal with rabid zombie humans.
Knowing, Should we consider ourselves in the know? The Rapture is a religious event and all, so I kinda consider this one of the better religious ‘event’ movies. Is there a better ending?
Ever Since the World Ended, Documentary style and the first movie post apocalypse. An interesting take… though, I imagine the first movie post Rapture will be pretty good… I think it’s The Hangover Part 2.
The Day After, there is no Tomorrow in this one. Well, there kinda is actually… how would we survive a nuclear strike? Pre-Twitter? Not great. With Twitter? Probably worse heh.
Escape From LA, If the Rapture happens tomorrow, I’m planning on taking on Snake Plissken’s attitude. So world watch out, because Zach Bussey will not be taking any shit lol.
The Road, It doesn’t get much more grim and realistic than this… with a lot of the disaster footage taken from the Aftermath of Katrina. The book is better (I may have shed a tear), but this is pretty real. A world I don’t want to live in.
Lick Your Shoes Clean
I’ve seen crazy stuff like this go down on the TTC before… It always seems worse in New York, but this is one of the reasons I hate the Subway. Clearly the guy has some mental issues…
The best part of the video isn’t even the guy licking his shoe… it’s the guy beside him, that’s the best reaction ever! He’s just pretending nothing is going on haha. If you get a seat on the subway, you accept any kind of insanity going on beside you.
A Skittles House of Commons
Sexiest Candidate… wow that was a lot of fun! I can’t believe it went nationwide with the media coverage. Wonder what is next in the world of Zach.
BUT, the election is still upon us! Monday we all hit the polls to cast our vote for the next government… and while all these IPSOS and EKOS polls are going on. I figured I’d conduct a Sucrose poll! Haha. So thanks to my buddy, Douglas Birch aka Tree Boy (more on him later), we’re about to conduct the first ever Skittles Prediction for the Canadian Election!
I poured bags of Skittles into a container and pulled Skittle by Skittle to form Parliament. I removed a bunch that didn’t match party colours (but kept 1 Green and 1 Independent colour cause I think Guergis is going to win.)
As you can see the Conservatives are predicted to win a minority government (and elect two guys with bad dandruff.) The Bloc Quebecois still grab a few seats, bu no where near what they had and the NDP become the official opposition. You can also denote from this that the Liberals hold on to a bunch of seats making it possible for Jack Layton to become Prime Minister if they need to form a coalition.
Regardless, they are all deliciously edible, so a Skittles government might be the best kind of government.
So, Douglas Birch. Tree Boy. Well, it’s probably easier if I just show you…
Yes, Tree Boy is blessed with a curse, or cursed with a blessing I’m unsure… but he has a Skittle Tree growing out of him… and his only dream is to go to College. So help him out by going to http://freetreeboy.ca!
Now that being said, he sent me a package and I had to share it with you both because it was clever marketing, and because I can’t eat it all. (Gave some away to my little brother, who doesn’t need the sugar… but yeah he’s a kid haha.) Apparently the Skittle Harvest was good this year… though, there were a lot of leaves in the package!
I thought it was all pretty cool stuff… I like the shirts too much to giveaway haha, but some Skittles and a couple Wristbands I’m happy to! To win em, just let me know how tall Tree Boy is with foliage. 2 people can win (gotta be from Toronto cause it’s too low value to ship haha.)
Epic Rap Battles of History
I just learned about these today… Epic Rap Battles of History featuring some History’s big names. The rap battles that have occurred so far include;

I’ve linked them all for your viewing/listening pleasure because honestly, best thing I’ve seen on youtube since my big Dorito hit! Haha.
Doritos Write the End Infographic
We managed to end the Doritos Write The End contest holding on to FIRST spot. Hopefully, I am in fact selected as a finalist. But regardless, this has been a HUGE success for the social media community. Through my networks on Twitter, Facebook, a foray into Youtube, my blog and of course a LOT of hard work we did some pretty incredible things.
To illustrate just what we accompished exactly I created my first real infographic! Also got a nice little offer included too!
