JOHN CUSACK
No, my favorite character of all time Lloyd Dobler is not graduating from the 80s anytime soon. Instead, actor John Cusack who portrayed Dobler will be taking on another movie role soon with quite a different personality.
Cusack is set to play Edgar Allen Poe in 'The Raven' with filming beginning as early as October in Budapest, Hungary and Serbia.
'The Raven' will portray a fictional story of Poe teaming up with a detective to locate a serial killer in Baltimore. The 1849 plot will take place during the last five days of Poe's life.
As the new end-of-the-world-in-a-really-cataclysmic-way-except-maybe-the-average-superhero-dad-guy-who-can-save-a-few-of-us movie 2012 comes out in theaters, I pose the question: What do we actually know about the Mayans? And can their calendar be correct?
The Maya are, or rather, were a Pre-Columbian civilization, who rose to the peak of their existence during the Classic Period of 250-900AD. They were most well-known for their advanced skills in architecture, mathematics and astronomy. Nowadays their descendants make up much of the Central American population, including the people of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and even Mexico.
