Thread of Anticipating KNOWING with Nic Cage

I just saw a thing about Nick Cage, in which he's talking about how his remake of "The Wicker Man" is so horrifying that people will have nightmares for weeks afterwards and how it's a zillion times better than the original. So he's a big fucking liar.

I don't think he's a liar, he's just completely insane.

That's why the whisperers didn't save him.

"Only SANE people get to ride on the wheel."

seriously, i mean...i would put this in the same league as the happening or butterfly effect.

thee league of why would you see any of these?

If Nicolas Cage's fetus doesn't commit suicide at the end of the Knowing, it cannot be in the same league as the Butterfly Effect.

Maybe that'll be in Knowing: The Director's Cut.

ok SPOILERS:

FETUS SUICIDE V THE APOCOLYPSE?

Look seriously how can a movie which ends up concluding that world is a better place without Ashton Kutcher be all bad? I admit the idea of Nicolas Cage being incinerated has promise, but do we all have to die too?

thee league of why would you see any of these?

I won't be swayed, I'm gonna see this, plus it's only 90 minutes long.

plz Ashton Kutcher is in the 1% indispensible showbiz laborers

yeah eman, y u think they call it dope etc.

I love that wikipedia will give away the whole dumb plot of this movie. It makes it sound like a pretentious version of the Apple.

jel you will not regret seeing this movie

how does this compare to

http://www.lamarsmoviepalace.com/number23.jpg

I will wait for the dollar theater.

i never saw #23 but i think this is better than the wickerman

its an amzing movie i hav reviewed it on my bløg

fuck i wish they still had dollar theaters here. lol i saw stargate at one

I saw the Number 23! It was er, Jim Carrey seeing the number 23 in everything, then I think he went insane, or maybe he'd killed some people in the past, or was that a "History of Violence"? Anyway, I'm pretty sure he just ended up scrawling sums that added up to 23 all over his prison cell.

This dollar theater talk has inspired me.

This movie is set in Boston. So for some baffling reason, it was filmed in Melbourne.

Which means I'd be laughing and picking shit out of the film regardless of how good/bad it was.

I was wondering about that. Melbourne looks NOTHING like Boston!

Why would they do that? Do they honesly think no one in the US or Australia is just going to not notice!?

Wah double negative, anyway you know what I mean.

wait seriously? i -- lol -- did not notice at all! did they shoot any of it in boston?

also i can't stress this enough, you all should see this movie. i mean it is a nicolas cage thriller about how the SUN BLOWS UP and only rutger haueresque aliens who are only understandable to small crazy children* are the saviors btw 9/11.

* seriously one "talks" to nic cage and this just results in a giant sunbeam shooting out of his mouth and blinding our hero because his voice is a giant laser when speaking to "rational" adults???

i mean there is a five minute "tense action" sequence that consists of nicolas cage stripping paint from a door while screaming at a lady "just wait, i have to finish this then we'll go to the caves!"

loool

schef you have CONVINCED me to see this in the theater - i have an interview tomorrow morning and afterwards i am gonna peep a matinee of this fuckin thing

it is really worth it for the airplane sequence alone. i feel talking about it more is spoilering things!

well you've provided enough bait for me to walk into the awesome trap of seeing this movie

OK Ally has made this film sound kind of batshit awesome.

I went ahead and read the plot on Wikipedia and it clearly IS batshit awesome.

omg i have to see this now

OMG I just read it too... what.. the... hell...

The film is set in Boston, and to represent the city, filmmakers used Australian locations such as Geelong Ring Road, Melbourne Museum, Mount Macedon, and Collins Street.[1] Filming also took place at Camberwell High School, which was converted into William Dawes Elementary, set in Boston circa 1958

LOLOL thats why they used melbourne BECAUSE ITS LIKE THE 50s HERE MAYBE WHY NOT.

^^ also this guys.

this is nowhere near as lolworthy as "the happening" - it's mostly just awful.

Waht! Pi is great you guys.

OK Ally has made this film sound kind of batshit awesome.

If it's Stealth-level batshit awesome, I will go see it. Convince me!

how can anyone not want to see this film based on the wiki plot? and also that EE thing, i thought you were joking at first

yeah this looks pretty hilarious

it is hilarious - dont want to spoil the ending but the last shot is such next-level wtf its worth it almost for that alone

gukbe, we gotta go see this when it comes out! (it isn't out yet is it?)

** probable spoiler alert **

lol at generic 'this is a different planet to earth' movie making = more than one moon!

I read that spoiler and now I want to see this movie.

(Haven't been to the movie theater since 2007.)

haha the last shot! i think one of my companions actually yelled "OH COME ON" at that point. i was hoping his son would have superpowers on the new planet due to the yellow rays of the new sun.

okay, first, did u guys know matinees are 8 bucks now? wtf

anyway, this was ridic but not really 'happening'-level wtfiness - s1ockster was right on about feeling like it was funded by a church group. didnt realize it was directed by the dark city shithead until the credits were rollin.

really the best part is when he googles 9/11. also free complimentary bunnies w/ur apocalypse

also i noticed in the opening credits that it was written by Stiles White - i assume this isn't a real name, but is instead a reference to Stylez G White http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylez_White
