Oh well:

The fate of the sprawling Tudor mansion owned by the actor, who won an Oscar for his role in "Leaving Las Vegas," was decided Wednesday far from the baronial estate.

It was up for auction Wednesday morning -- along with a handful of other foreclosed properties -- on the steps of the county courthouse in Pomona.

After a rapid-fire spiel by the auctioneer, the bidding was opened at $10.4 million, far less than the $35 million that Cage had tried unsuccessfully to sell the house for.

To put it mildly, the house, though impressive, was not to everyone's taste. Real estate agent Bret Parsons, who toured it most recently in October, described the interiors as "fascinating and bizarre."

"The design was 'frat house bordello,' " Parsons said. "There must have been 300 comic book covers elaborately framed and hanging on the walls."

Model train sets on raised tracks a couple feet below the ceiling circled the inside of the breakfast room and two bedrooms.

That sounds more like hiring me at age 10 to do interior design. If it truly is "frat house bordello", I want pictures.

Here you go.

coincidentally finally saw Leaving Las Vegas last night. really starting to feel like he's the same and every movie and it's just what's around him that decides whether its hailed/camp/crap.

same in every movie

love that the guy couldn't settle for just ONE graceland.

Did I miss an anouncement where Nic Cage announced he was legally blind or something? holy hell

His personal motto is "maximum violence immediately."

I wish Nic Cage was on Twitter.

i mean... just... what?

explosion explosion explosion explosion magic car explosion satan

"what the hell kind of gun is that?!?" = my thoughts at about nine different points in this trailer

that chipmunks one has me crying.

What makes Mr. Cage such an unusual screen presence and an even more atypical movie star is that he’s habitually very good and very bad from movie to movie, and sometimes scene to scene in a single film. Unlike most movie stars, whose stardom is partly predicated on a recognizable, coherent, stable persona and the ability to deliver a similarly coherent, stable performance — George Clooney almost always delivers a George Clooney-worthy turn, no matter how goofy the mustache — Mr. Cage is reliably unreliable.

I'm actually starting to believe Cage is basically the same in every movie, and it's just up to the director to shape the work around this freak

it's not like he's brando trying on eight different accents because he has total contempt for the director. His sadface characters are of a piece, his coked-up loons are of a piece, etc. Whether one "manic cage" movie is better than the other really has little to do with him.

d'oh, I apparently wrote all this 6 months ago.

In the Deadline Hollywood story on this they go:

In the Dominic Sena-directed film, Cage plays a 14th Century knight charged with transporting a suspected witch whose powers are suspected to have caused the Black Plague. Nice visuals, but is it a good Cage film or one of those he does for the payday?

Uh...

nic cage is nic cage

well this made my day.

movie theater near work has posters for Drive Angry and Season Of the Witch right across from each other, both with the word "hell" in the tagline ("All Hell Breaks Loose" and "This January Raise Some Hell" respectively).

"we're gonna need more holy water" in the Witch trailer is shameless

Hah, you could tell it was a paycheck film as soon as you saw the PG-13 rating in the trailer. That trailer doesn't hold a candle to "Your Highness."

about 40% of that clip is either Vampire's Kiss or Deadfall. Vampire's Kiss is kind of a masterpiece and Deadfall, I'd spared myself the memories -- until I saw these

Yeah that video made me wonder about Deadfall. Looks, uhhhh, "awesome". is it?

I have to watch that movie.

It's nearly unwatchable, except for every scene with cage.

The punchline to the director's bio = the author of the bio: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0178876/bio

you're welcome

i haven't watched vampire's kiss yet, but i am going to have a "private screening" of deadfall within the next couple of days. i expect it will be life-changing on the scale of say, my first communion

so i just saw Season of the Witch and

1) Cage does not disappoint
2) teal&orange.xls
3) I wish somebody would make a movie of the TV series Gargoyles
4) Cage would've been a better Gargamel in the Smurfs movie than Hank Azaria.

Took me a second to recall whether the Smurfs movie had been released yet or not!

pretty sure the universe would explode if Nic Cage was in the Smurfs movie

i saw Season of the Witch, enjoyed how half the time Cage and Perlman basically played it like they were in a buddy cop movie

heh. I loved Gargoyles.

saw this with my sister hoping it would be lolworthy. when nic cage started skewering wolves in mid-air with his sword, my sister turned to me and said "this is exactly what i paid for!"

exactly the opposite to how i felt about peter jackson's the two towers but i will catch these i think

love that your vendetta against Jackson's LOTR is so psycho that you're like arghhh those fucking movies i better check out Season Of The Witch though i'm sure it's way better

http://i54.tinypic.com/34hj5ep.jpg

no!

i can't believe you guys repped for season of the witch. "Cage does not disappoint"??? he sleepwalked through it!!! those were some of the most lifeless line readings of anyone's career, let alone Cage's. perlman was the only source of entertainment in that movie.

drive angry 3D is p good though

What the

'It's like this, Dad.'
