What have we learned?

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

If you're hot girlfriend is very, very stupid and can't complete sentences....always wear a condom.  Two, if you possible.

Make it three. Can never be too careful.

in her case make it a wicker condom so she remembers ya.. ok, maybe I went to far

The splinters man. The splinters. 

[Cosmic Muse]

I believe if The Wicker Man was marketed as a Dark Comedy, it might have been more successful.

[macleod]

Hah...in a sick way you may be right...imagine what some silly sound fx would do to that movie...it'd be pretty hilarious

[PlayMSTie]

I learned about Mike Nelson's sport coat and slacks fetish.

I learned about Mike Nelson's sport coat and slacks fetish.

Or more likely Kevin Murphy's suit fetish?

[PlayMSTie]

Possibly. 

Oh, and I also learned that Neil LaBute seriously needs to deal with those mommy issues.

[Jeyl]

I learned that people can do the dumbest things like believing in a religion that brings honey if you take many living things and burn them alive.

Sheesh. I've never seen so many useless scenes in my life. That whole waiting by the dock for the airplane pilot to show up did nothing for the story. As did the barn searching scene, the underwater well scene, and the numerous visions Cage's character had.

[Pak-Man]

I'm still bugged by the exploding family at the beginning.

A) How did they make it to the end of the movie?
B) What was the point of them exploding to begin with?

Oh, so when the police woman told Cage "gee, they still have not found the bodies" and Cage did not seem bothered by it, you mean that is NOT how police act?   "Gee, there was a moderate explosion in the car, the car was still in one piece, yet the bodies seemed to vaporize into thin air,,,,,, eh, that must happen all the time."   Jeez, I about fell out of my chair (it could have been the beer) when that happened.

[FrensaGeran]

Every time I wonder about a certain aspect of the movie, I just loop that youtube of Cage in the bear suit right hooking that woman to inspirational music.

[countv]

I learned that Nicolas Cage's hair-transplant hasn't taken and that in most of the scenes you can see right through his hair. Once again hair dye and hair gel fail to combat male pattern baldness for two rifftrax in a row. Three in a row if you count Shatner.

I learned that grandma Braveheart likes her men bearded, wide-eyed and covered in bee stings when she is feeling frisky.

And that and a cornered and bewildered Nicolas Cage can kung-fu kick a grown women clean across a room when provoked.

[DoctorZ]

There is a limit to suspending disbelief and this movie went light years beyond it.

I don't want to get anything other than a milk shake at Willard's Restaurant.

Movies that exude hatred for the opposite sex are not entertainment.

[Rufus T]

 I learned that Neil Labute flushed away any and all credibility he earned from writing The Shape of Things.

P.S. I didn't like The Shape of Things either.

[macleod]

Seriously...what was this guy thinking? .."hmm, race is off limits, so how else can we inject xenophobic paranoia into our film?"

[Cosmic Muse]

I think a few well placed Willhelm Screams, even for female characters, would have elevated the levity of this movie.
