just watched the film Knowing. wondering if people now make idiotic movies so Nicholas Cage can work. the premise for those who haven't seen it is that aliens send down a list of meaningless numbers to children in the sixties who go crazy and write them randomly down. the aliens then come back fifty years later. a few mins before the world ends to pick up and save the grandchildren of the original kids. on the assumption that the parents of these children have found these numbers and worked out that the thousands of random figures indicate a series of disasters that proves that they know when the world is doomed and should go to coordinates that are also hidden in the numbers to be picked up in space ships. real grown ups heard this idea and gave massive amounts of money to other grown ups to make it. I doubt that Nick Cage was auditioned but just arrived once it was being made, presumably after reading that another unbelievably awful film was being made after seeing random letters on the back of a cereal packet. Having said all this i think it is the best film i have seen him in for a long time.
