i watched it this morning, dafoe steals it, outshines cage; gd movie

johnny crunch, Friday, 16 December 2016 20:29 (seven years ago) link

Yeah Dafoe def steals it but Cage was in top form I thought.

one month passes...

Schrader's latest "Dog Eat Dog" has some prime wacko Cage

I have 20 minutes left to watch of this but goddamn this movie is soooo bleak and fucked up. The opening sequence is insane and genuinely shocking, and even though that level of intensity doesn't carry through the whole film, Dafoe is compelling throughout. Cage is allright.

trilby mouth (darraghmac), Friday, 20 January 2017 18:29 (seven years ago) link

ten months pass...

couldn't decide which thread to resurrect so it's this one.

due to a series of stupid decisions and events i have decided to watch everythign nick cage has ever been in this summer, for a summer i am calling CAGED HEAT. going to be going more or less in chronological order (some will be out of order as i do movie marathons over the next 90 days and invite people over and tantalize them with his more palatable offerings) basically i am making a huge mistake. i don't actually watch that many movies in my real life (like MAYBE 10 a year?) so by the end of this i think 10% of all movies i have ever watched will have had nick cage in them.

i'll try to remember to document my descent into madness here

I really wish you luck in this endeavor. fwiw I don't think there's a single Cage movie I've outright hated. but I've missed the last 10 or so years of 'em

frogbs, Thursday, 31 May 2018 01:38 (five years ago) link

lmao caged heat, i love this

Ross, Thursday, 31 May 2018 03:20 (five years ago) link

When cage falls and breaks that table in Vegas that’s hilarious

Ross, Thursday, 31 May 2018 03:21 (five years ago) link

where do you even find the more obscure ones?

rip van wanko, Thursday, 31 May 2018 13:14 (five years ago) link

# The Wicker Man (2006) .... Edward Malus	4
# Leaving Las Vegas (1995) .... Ben Sanderson 0

This is a good place.

i believe nic cage himself will sell you a bootleg dvd of any of his movies from the back of the vw camper he lives in behind a truck stop in barstow xp

i've been pretty lucky so far -- managed to find a source for everything on the list up to guarding tess (1994) so far. took a break from the hunt, since that's most of what i need for june, and a lot of his stuff is on netflix. i am of course maintaining a spreadsheet.

challops trap house (Will M.), Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:20 (five years ago) link

valorous wokelord (silby), Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link

or just watch the movies, like that's totally chill, you don't have to make a work of art out of it if u don't want to

valorous wokelord (silby), Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:35 (five years ago) link

Isn't his new film supposed to be kind of amazing?

imago, Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link

lol which one? there are 3

challops trap house (Will M.), Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link

'Mandy'

imago, Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:36 (five years ago) link

the only words i have heard about it so far are "chainsaw fight" so i know i'm in

(i also know i am in because i said i would watch all of his movies and i can't back down now)

challops trap house (Will M.), Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:40 (five years ago) link

well the thing is 1) there is i think already a "let's watch all of the cage movies" podcast

looks like there are four! (I'm in Seattle)

yeah facebook is pointless for this, at least do a blog

we used to get our kicks reading surfing MAGAzines (sic), Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:00 (five years ago) link

Mandy does not have a release date yet. Mom And Dad had a one-week run simultaneous with VOD. Looking Glass was VOD only? The entire format that The Humanity Bureau was meant to be screened in went bankrupt. the Teen Titans Go cartoon that he does a voice cameo in has trailers in multiplexes now.

Bad lieutenant is one of the funniest movies ever

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

yeah facebook is pointless for this, at least do a blog

originally decided on FB because my wall post when supernova so i just invited all of my friends to follow the page. I think I'll just crosspost everything to a blog somewhere. Will update once I find a home for it. (what blog platforms do people even use anymore?)

Bad lieutenant is one of the funniest movies ever

i am SO excited to rewatch this

challops trap house (Will M.), Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link

woow, his last theatrical release of 2017 was initially a Lindsay Lohan vehicle but ended up starring someone off Australian digital-only soap opera Neighbours, plus Cage and Faye Dunaway, who broke her leg and tried to get out of it, but the director - a day spa entrepreneur & hotelier who had not written the screenplay, nor directed before - rewrote the part overnight to shoot all her scenes sitting down. the shoot was cut from a month to 15 days, and made $218,179 on an alleged budget of $13 million.

the director also cast himself as Gina Gershon's gynecologist: "Was I stiff? Yes."

Nick cage is the ultimate corrupt cop. The scene where he busts the girl for drugs and then does then is all kinds of wtf

Ross, Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:22 (five years ago) link

Still my favorite Cage performance in a long and storied career

I have only seen one Cage flick in the cinema in 2018 though

lol I forgot that I have also seen both of his 1987 releases in the cinema this year

we used to get our kicks reading surfing MAGAzines (sic), Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link

well if any of the podcasts you produce want to interview someone who watched all of the nic cage movies get @ me in september-ish haha

challops trap house (Will M.), Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link

the most recent Nic Cage thing I saw was that one with him and Willem Dafoe as three-time ex-con losers where, oddly, Cage was out-weirdo'd by Dafoe.

Οὖτις, Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:17 (five years ago) link

that being said the opening sequence of that film is fucking *insane* and the rest of the movie kinda pales in comparison

Οὖτις, Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:17 (five years ago) link

is there a more insane Nic Cage scene than this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYJOAW7r03s

frogbs, Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:19 (five years ago) link

like the last 30 seconds of that has got to be improvised right? who would put something like that in the script ?????
