"Knowing" sucks

[CM Punk]

Event Horizon was brilliant.

Sorry to bring this one back around, but I stumbled on it while looking for something else and I just couldn't pass it by.

1. "Knowing" sucked some serious ass. Mainly because it was presented as something completely different, something you'd want to see. Of course, they left the crap about aliens, everyone dying and the stupid little rocks out of every preview. Wasn't necessarily Cage's fault that it sucked so hard, except that he read the script and still agreed to do it.

2. BigPern, while making the case that Cage had a good run for a few years, presented as evidence the film "Windtalkers" -- a movie that sucked so fantastically bad it should've ended the careers of everyone involved. Holy ****, was that one God awful movie. I mean, I'm usually all for "to each his own," but dude, halfway through there was a black-and-white, naval stock video of ships firing off the coast. It was like a student film.

3. As bad as "Windtalkers" was, it was no "Wicker Man." You wanna see complete ****? You got two choices: Cage strolling around in that dumbass bear costume or actual ****.

4. While I'm willing to give Cage somewhat of a pass for some of these movies, since he didn't write this ****, I always return to "Con Air" with his annoying southern accent and the fact that he was a producer on "Wicker Man" and still was running around in a bear costume. No excuse.

Knowing has my vote for worst and most misleading flick of the year. There's nothing in second place.

Oh, come on, how great was the reunion scene when that's all he had to offer his daughter and she turned away scared? I cry like a little ***** everytime I see that part of the movie. SO GOOD!!!!!

"Sweet home Alabama!!!!"

You've been warned.

I fell asleep shortly after the accident in New York.

You didn't miss anything. Trust me.

SPOILER:
Everyone here is just mad that they don't have their black stone and their white rabbit to get taken off the planet.

I would rather destroy 500 worlds than see this again.
However, it was better than Windtalkers and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
But just barely, and Chun-Li may actually be neck-and-neck.

I want my Redbox money back

 

[JakeandElwood]

That was actually an excellent spot to stop things. Just consider that the end of the movie.

 

[Madhavok]

I'm going to finish the rest of it tonight, I think. I have to how this ends, what the big twist is and some awesome Nic Cage acting !

A weak attempt by Alex Proyas to be the next Night Shyamalan -- who is breathtakingly terrible in his own right.

The message: When the Rapture comes, we all get a bunny. And not a brown bunny, either.

I deserved this for watching Knowing.

 

[Small Town Guy]

Just watched it last night. It's not that terrible. For a cheap rental you can do a lot worse. I didn't get the rabbits thing - no, really, what did they represent? - but for most of the movie I was pretty intrigued. As someone else said, it is sort of cool to see the Earth not win one of these the-world-is-ending movies (Deep Impact). The whisper campaign sort of dampened things, but I'm guessing I'll like this more than the next one on our Netflix list: The Day the Earth stood still.

If it's the original The Day the Earth Stood Still from the 1950s (iirc) you will like it.

If it's the Keanu version, yes. That movie sucked balls.
