Is Nicolas Cage trying to make bad movies?

2009-03-26T07:34:00.000-07:00

I was curious about "Knowing," the latest in the series of one-word sci-fi movies Cage somehow gets funded and distributed even though it's not going to be a surprise when audiences and critics hate it. Who keeps backing this garbage thinking it's a good idea?

I love RottenTomatoes.com because a crappy movie can't hide from the Tomato Meter. Occasionally a massive turkey gets a positive review from one reviewer and then you start to think, "Hmm, maybe I should check it out." And then you see it. And it SUCKS.

As you can see, Cage can't hide from the Tomato Meter. And while "Knowing" topped the box office last weekend, it's still destined to barely re-coup after international distribution and DVDs.

I have to think that Nicolas Cage is actually TRYING to put out bad movies. Every movie he makes that isn't called "National Treasure" is a bomb, a flaming turd that was created so that Cage can indulge in trying out a new hairstyle on screen.

Except for "Ghost Rider," which really should have won the Oscar that year.

ABC totally produced this and tried to make it seem like a real viral video. LOVE the fat kid.

Web Bot Predictions

2009-03-17T19:33:00.000-07:00

Don't ask how I found this:

Since its conception in the late 1990’s, the Web Bot Project has made a number of very accurate and insightful predictions regarding coming events. Originally designed to track stock market trends, the Web Bot uses a system of spiders that crawl the Internet looking for patterns of behavior, trends and chatter pertaining to coming events. This tool is believed to be able to forecast the future by tapping into the collective unconscious of society.

One of the first accurate predictions from the Web Bot program took place in June of 2001. The program predicted that a life-altering event would take place within the next 60-90 days. An occurrence of such proportion that it's effects would be felt worldwide. The program based its prediction on "web chatter" and regrettably, the prediction proved accurate when the Twin Towers fell on 9/11/2001.

Even more remarkable is a series of predictions made back in late 2006 about the coming events of late 2008 through mid 2009:

- September 22-27 2008 are seen as precursor dates to a significant event expected to take place on October 7 2008.
Closely watch events during September 22 through 27 2008 for hints as to what to expect on October 7 2008.

- October 7 2008 to February 19 2009 will be filled with emotional intensity
The Web Bot has never picked up any event lasting this long. In comparison, the events of 9/11 lasted about 10 days. This event will be four months of high emotion.

- In October Global emotional release event begins – largely economic.
The rest of the world will begin to seriously question the stability and reliability of the U.S. dollar.

Much more of this...
