11-11-11

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:54 pm

I was looking through upcoming movies for 2011, and I came across a movie called 11-11-11
First thing that came to mind was of course skyrim. I read the description of the movie an it said
"The story focuses on the date 11-11-11, a time when a supposed gateway will open and something from another world will come through",
and I once again thought Skyrim.

So my question is,what is the significance of the date?

I don't know. Before Skyrim, it was significant for me because it's Remembrance Day here. It's probably just because it's catchy.

[Edit] R.D. is every year, not just on 11.11.11 :facepalm: for me.

Lot's of 1's

Cause 11 is more awesome than 1, since it has twice as many ones.

Which means 111 is three times as awesome, but few people can properly spell One-hundred eleven. So we settle for 11.


Don't get me started on 111,111,111,111. one-hundred Eleven-Billion, One-hundred Eleven-Million, One-hundred Eleven-Thousand, One-hundred Eleven!!!111!1!!1!!! Zomg.

Conspiracy!

I don't know. As far as Skyrim goes it's a great marketing device. No one is going to forget 11-11-11

Can't every number appear weird, scary and/or mystical if you've got the time to assign meaning? I remember watching a film called "23" a while back, but i've forgotten it all now (not the sign of a good film lol). I think "Knowing" was along the same lines, but I've forgotten most of that one too.

Because 11/11/11 is the very last show of the George Lopez show and they would like to celebrate. Not because they like the show, so they don't have to seee any more commercials with his "comedy".

By the nine! Knowing was just... So bad. The number 23 was a neat story. And it's whole premise was based on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_Enigma Which some people actually believe in.

The date is around when a lot of big games get released. I think they did it on a Friday as a favor to the fan base so they'd have all weekend to play it.

Yeah, apparently there are a lot of prophecies having to do with this year, including 11-11-11.

I think its pretty ridiculous myself, since there seems to be some sort of end of the world prophecy for EVERY year ever...

Armistice Day is what comes to my mind. There might also be some nonsense in Revelations.

C'mon, it's just catchy. Just like 10-10-10 last year and 09-09-09 before that. Many people get married on these days (maybe so the men remember). It's remembrance day here too and while I wish things wouldn't get released on this day our of respect (Especially call of duty) I guess it gives me a day off to play after paying my respects.

Plus, it looks great in the trailers!

So,another conspiracy theory. :P
Even if I read and keep an eye at some theories I don't think anything supernatural or something else like that will happen at 11-11-11.

You know what ? Don't forget the hoax with the Mayan calendar and the destruction of our world.
There where hoaxes like that in the past too. Almost in every decade of last century some people would go crazy and start saying that the end will come.
And every time the date was closing,popular medias like movies and books where created to make use of popular hoaxes as a way of marketing their products.
And choosing cheesy dates was always a habit.

A Swarchgeneger (I think I spelled that wrong) movie "The End of Days" came out at 1999 and made use of the year it came out by painting "999" from "1999" red and turning the number 1999 upside down to make 999 look like 666 which is the mark of the antichrist,to take advantage of the hoax that some people from a christian cult created saying that at 1999 the antichrist will come on Earth and that at 2000 we will all die.

It's just a marketing trick,nothing more.
