    Science Fiction is also the antidote to acting unemployment. It's not like he's competing with Richard Gere for chick flick roles.

    "I was trying to think about ways I could entertain you, hopefully give you some sort of escape, which I think in this day and age is very important, without having to resort to gratuitous violence."


    --isn't The Knowing about all the tragic major disastrous that have occurred or are about to occur?

    I remember seeing a scene where a subway car when off the track and squished all the people that were waiting for the train.


    Not that that is gratuitous or anything.


    What's with Cage wearing the douchest outfit imaginable?

    Nic Cage is merely the interface, the lead, the beginning, of the invasion of the Elder Gods. His insane antics will merely numb us to the mind-shattering visions that proceed the advent of the star travelers, making us much more compliant, and, from what I can tell, much more delicious.

    That's nice that he might encourage more big-budget SF movies that eschew the 'splodey pew-pew-pew. Does he really get taken seriously though?

    Indeed. That just made it 100% better. Through in some gratuitous nudity and it might actually be watchable.

    SPOILER


    Wow, I actually enjoyed this movie. I am an atheist or agnostic depending (definitely not religious) and I would have to say this is more what I might believe could be, (my concept of what God might be is less biblical, more beyond our true conception) over most of what is portrayed as being End Times or Armageddon. Or was this completely Scifi because I am not 100% on the what the albinos are. I like the mash-up aspect. And the ending is sad and happy depending on your point of view, I sort of feel both myself. The FX are pretty spectacular. If you can get past Nic Cage being Nic Cage, which I can, this is a pretty cool movie.

    I heard an interview with Cage this morning on my way to work. After hearing what he said and reading your review it seems like there were two different scripts here. Also his take on the ending was to simply describe it as neither "happy or sad"..


    And if the numbers were buried in 1959 were they supposed to show every major disaster since that time or did the numbers also include events prior to that?
