Aw.

I just saw a commercial on CMT for Knowing which referred to some movie review (presumably for some organization with the word "family" prominently featured) as calling it "a miracle of faith and family unity" while referencing every shot with a Christian/Biblical tilt they could squeeze out of the movie. Which, I didn't really think about until now, is a LOT.

I think they just ruined the crappy disaster movie for me.

Damn it.

The best review I've seen yet described it as a disaster movie made by Scientologists, which--I mean, if you've seen it, it's freakishly accurate. Maybe rent it? IDK. I didn't hate it, so.

*shrugs* Go see it for itself. As a crappy disaster movie. There's always going to be people able to claim some sort of meaning out of things.

The Bible would make an awesome Nicholas Cage disaster movie.

"Oh shit!"
"What is it, Jake Hardstone?"
"There was a sighting down in Central Park! We confirmed it with the CDC and a bunch of guys we work with out of M.I.T."
"Goddamit man, just spit it out! What did they see?"
"It's...it's...Jesus. He's back. And he's PISSED."
"..."
"It's coming in now. I know it's a bit blurred, but here we can see Jesus punting a Clysedale into the ionosphere."

HA. That does sound a bit accurate. :)

I thought it was terrible, but an enjoyable terrible, you know? It's kind of hard to like it when they blatantly advertise the annoyingly religious angle I was trying to ignore, though. *eyeroll*
