I’ve heard all the sties about how the Mayan calendar predicts the end of times and all that other jazz.
But what I wanted to know, does the calendar actually say that the world will end on that date? or is it just something made up in Hollywood?

No,it just ends.
My current calendar ends 31 December 2011 – you can just as easily claim this is a prediction that the world will end on 31 December 2011,which is of course complete nonsense,as are claims that the end of the Mayan calendar means the end of the world on the date it ends.
The calendar stops on that date but highly doubt the world will
Recently statements about this foretold apocalypse have come across moderately blurry to say the least. I don’t think it’s real and I think many people agree. But more recently I’ve started to think maybe it isn’t going to be one big explosion or earthquake that ends everything. The economy is falling down the pan after all. Maybe it will be just one big worldwide riot. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
No it doesn’t, just as our calendar it begins again, it’s just the end of what’s called a long count which is 394 years or something. The world won’t end it’s just exaggerated because of the internet and Hollywood.
No, because the Mayans were killed while they were still working on the calendar, I’m pretty sure.
That’s totally made up. In 2012, the Mayan Calendar will be entering a new b’ak’tun. A b’ak’tun is pretty much like a millennium in our calendar, but longer. (Their calendar is kind of complicated.) The Mayans believed that we are currently living in the fourth world; the Gods destroyed the previous three worlds because they were unhappy with their creations. The third world ended at the start of the fourteenth b’ak’tun, and we’ll be starting the fourteenth b’ak’tun of our world in December 2012—this is the source of the myth.
There is no indication that the Mayans thought the world would end again at the start of the fourteen b’ak’tun. In fact, some Mayan monuments list predictions and commemorative dates (e.g. anniversaries of this or that king being crowned) happening well past 2012.
Did the Mayans predict the end of their own culture? The alleged catastrophes occur at the end of all "Bactuns", which is quite exactly all 400 years. Whenever the high period of the Maya culture ended, counting backwards from 2012 would give the years 1612, 1212, 812, 412 and 12. Which catastrophes happened there? I don’t know any. The explanation of the origins, prophecies and calenders of all religions and their relationships to each other are given in the movie "Zeitgeist" (2007). I was not aware that even the Christian mythology is so logic, so well known and so easily to explain. Look under the link below. But be careful: Afterwards you probably won’t go to church anymore.
Neither the calendar nor the Mayans predicted the end of the world. That’s all down to present day new-age hucksters and frauds trying to sell their books and survival kits to the gullible.
There’s no scientific reason anything unusual at all to happen in 2012.
No,it just ends.
