Oh my God, you guys. You know I like everything, even The Village and sort of The Happening, but I don't think I have ever actually laughed out loud at a ridiculous plot twist before.
And then I watched Knowing.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It should be a basic rule of moviegoing: If you see Nicholas Cage in the previews and he's not being yelled at by Cher or Holly Hunter, DO NOT SEE!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I thought he was funny in Hit Girl. I mean Kick Ass.

I generally dig Nicolas Cage movies, really. The Rock, Face/Off, Con Air, Kick-Ass, Raising Arizona, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Adaptation, Matchstick Men, National Treasure, National Treasure 2... About the only one I'd seen that I didn't really like was Ghost Rider. And I guess Snake Eyes was kind of crap, too.
But I was not prepared for Knowing. Of course, even with that laughable plot turn, I didn't hate it. I have to give it props for ACTUALLY INCINERATING THE EARTH. And there was good stuff scattered about, even though it was overlong and overserious.
I bumped up Next in my queue, though. Nicolas Cage knows the future! Again!

Talk about unintended consequences! This video shows what would more likely happen to Endor at the end of Return of the Jedi if the normal laws of physics applied to the Star Wars universe.
