Oops, I can neither spell nor c.
i liked the manohla dargis piece:
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.

On a sadder note, his dad died a few weeks back. He sounds like a pretty good character, actually -- a comp lit/cinema professor in the Cal State system for much of his career. But I admit to being amazed at his photo provided in the obit in terms of 'so that's how Nic will end up looking like':

But that also meant that Nic's had to look into selling the house his dad lived in -- which isn't far from here, just over in Newport Beach -- and this OC Weekly post has this story along with talking about how he's having trouble unloading the property:
We'll end with a personal (OK, second-hand) Nic Cage anecdote: He made no secret of his residency down here, as someone very near and dear to me recalled when he spotted the actor sunning himself in front of the abode on the Pen. No friends, no handlers, no studio goons, just an Oscar winner catching rays all by himself. But when a third friend tried to make small talk out of this to Cage (on a red carpet or in a movie junket cattle-call interview line, can't recall which)--in the spirit of "Hey, Nic, I understand you were just sunning yourself outside your house in Newport Beach"--the actor turned stone-faced, essentially denied ever having been there and explained a lot of people look like him.Really? Like that?It's absolutely believable to me because a couple months ago, sitting in a hotel room in the Midwest, I saw a repeat of a late-night talk show where the host (Conan, if memory serves) mentioned something very normal the actor had just been observed doing in public. Cage flatly denied it, explaining a lot of people look like him.Bet he wishes those other guys owned that cottage on the Pen right now.
