The End Of The World: What Would You Watch, Read, Listen To Before Doomsday?

If pamphlet-wielding prognosticators are to be believed, tomorrow (May 21, 2011) is Doomsday—the hour in which a massive earthquake will rock the globe heralding the end of the world. Pretty gloomy stuff, huh? Whether or not (most likely not) that particular prophecy comes true, it got us thinking about how we would want to spend our last day, pop-culturally speaking. If we had only hours to enjoy our favorite movies, TV series, music and books, what title would get preference?

After the jump, Hollywood Crush writers weigh-in on the one pop-culture pick they’d relish before the rapture.

Before the end of the world as we know it, I’d have to listen to Christina Aguilera’s 2002 masterpiece, Stripped, one last time. This is one of the only albums I know of in which there’s genuinely no filler; every single track is flawless. Christina’s not-of-this-universe voice elicits every emotion: pride (“Soar”), sadness (“I’m OK”), sass (“Can’t Hold Us Down”), humor (“Stripped, Part 2”), and the list goes on. It’s complete pop perfection. —Jyll Saskin

  3. In all seriousness…don’t worry about these radical people, rp…the Bible says that no one will know the day or hour the world will end…if you look at it that way.  I wasn’t scared today because I knew the man who made this up was misinformed.  Look, it’s May 22 and there was no earthquake.  I wonder what that man is thinking right now. 

    Christina’s voice IS out of this world…but in the end she won’t save anyone from destruction :/  That doesn’t mean in the meantime, while we are still here on earth, we can’t enjoy her for our listening pleasure and inspiration!! 🙂

    don’t be scared, rp!

  4. Oh yeah, on a side note.  I don’t think she mean Stripped Part II to be taken as humor?!?!?!??!!?!  Do you??  Was that just a jab?  LOL.
