Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

A dark comedy "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" with Steve Carell and Keira Knightley looks worth watching after its release this coming Friday, June 22nd. "When the news confirms that a fatal asteroid is heading toward Earth, Dodge (Steve Carell) is left alone after his wife flees in a panic. With nothing left to lose, he decides to embark on a road trip to find his high school sweetheart. Accompanying him is his neighbor (Keira Knightley) who unintentionally foils his plan by falling for him."

“We’re all faced with that inevitability — the end will happen for all of us," Carell tells the Daily News. “This movie, though, is a very accelerated version of that. How do people prioritize, what do they do and how do they act? Everyone is so different in terms of their wants and needs, and when something raises the stakes to such a high point, it creates a pressure cooker. But that also fuels a lot of the film’s comedy."

The music in the above video clip is "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads:

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction 

Ice is also great

And would suffice
