#MovieThread, 2022 edition!
In 2020 I watched 239 movies.
In 2021 I watched another 391,
for a total of 650 movies since very early into first lockdown.
That's probably all the movies, right?
#2, #652, we Cage ever onwards, it's 2009's "Knowing."
But do I Know what this is about? I've Know idea.
👧👧👧👧 "Four Daughters" (1938)
A fellow by the name of Mickey Borden has shown up and he livens up the picture with his presence right away. Gambled away his train fare, stuck it out thumbing for a town car instead of a Ford or a Chevy, and he's /rude/.
Which means he'll probably beef it, but the odds of seeing a bank robbery have gone up immensely.

@Alexis did you see the flaming moose?
"Knowing" (2009)
@zens Yuuuuup. A real dedication to nonsense on display here.
:cage: "Knowing" (2009)
@Alexis i have to admit when i saw that I cracked up. i feel like a coupke of edits would turn knowing into a comedy instead if straddling the line of “are these people serious?!”
:cage: "Knowing" (2009)
@Alexis i kinda love it. also it was filmed in Melbourne so it was fun spotting settings I recognised that are meant to be “chicago”
:cage: "Knowing" (2009)
@Alexis these are all wonderful points of interest and imo do a great job of capturing the movie. it's certainly an american 'blockbuster' head-empty fun splosions type ride.
"Knowing" (2009)
@hyenikin Yeah, it very much puts me in mind of the "Final Destination" movies, if they tried to be thrillers instead of horror -- it's not a masterpiece or anything, but the scenario and watching Cage go through it is fun enough.
👧👧👧👧 "Four Daughters" (1938)
@Alexis There are a lot of them, though, like enough to fill the longest running live action sitcom with.

@kurt And STILL no guest appearance from Gritty.
👧👧👧👧 "Four Daughters" (1938)
@Alexis Yeah, it all takes place in Gritty's snowglobe so you'll have to wait until the final episode.
@Alexis They were to small too see, though.
@kurt 1933 was before microscope technology was mainstream, so most of the movie is people reacting to things too small for the camera to pick up.
"Oh no, she's died," that kind of thing.
@Alexis Jesus, I re-wrote this toot and corrected the wrong to(o).
@kurt It seemed rude too point it out when that was the fixed version.
@Alexis One time an old Japanese murder victim had put a curse on a video file I downloaded and VLC still played it ok.
"What's a time capsule?"
*nods* why, little timmy, it's the plot of this movie
