Yes, There are those, but they are far in the minority. I'm guessing
here, but if you went up to 100 people on the street and asked if some
huge catastrophic event was gonna happen in 2000, a large majority would
say no. Just a guess thoug. As for doomsday movies, there are only a few
out, and none have to do with religious oriented calamaties. The meteor
or asteroid thing is big because of all the news attention it gets. And
for good reason, this planet, as most celestial bodies, have a hard time
when large, fast moving pieces of rock hit it. It has happened millions
of times on ths planet, to think that it wont happen again is really
stupid in my humble opinion. I havnt seen either of those movies, But I
have been aware for years of the possibility, and am amazed that it
isn't taken more seriously as a potential threat.

Another more mundane observation might be pop culture, not the usual 'society is goin' to hell in a hand basket' but the increase in global catastrophe entertainment, the first film that comes to mind is "Armageddon" due to be released soon, then recent memory recalls some film with the tag line "The Coast is Toast" , granted, to me, and to most others, these are just second rate films that came and went in a hurry, but they MAY also be an indication of a sense of impending doom, real or NOT, that resides in our collective unconscious.
