nicolas cage career highlights reel

It doesn't sound a million miles from JCVD, but on a more epic scale. I hope there's a scene where he reveals that he didn't want to say "who burned the toast", and he didn't realise the cameras were running when he said "vive la fuckin' France", and that Werner Herzog told him that all the audio for Bad Lieutenant was being dubbed in post, so he just delivered placeholder lines, and that he was goaded into overacting. And that deep down he plays with model trains, just like ordinary men.

Given the fact that pop stars often give private concerts for billionaires, I wonder if Nicolas Cage actually does do private Shakespeare readings for rich people, and if he has to rewrite Shakespeare so that it has "blue" language such as fucking etc.

finally caught up with teen titans go to the movies (easily the best latterday dc movie by quite some distance) and was thrilled to see that nic cage plays superman

you did it nic, you finally made it

We talked about Dram Scenario yet?

*Dream Scenario

I can discuss drams all day

genuinely curious if this movie is any good or not because it looks really interesting and most of his "normal guy" roles wind up getting really weird at some point

I enjoyed it. He's still being "weird Cage" but it's a different take on it, and the story's fun while being a well-nuanced take on the phenomenon of memes/unwitting celebrity/"cancel culture" etc

The other day I put Renfield on in the background and sorta half-watched it, and that was pretty enjoyable -- like if the Deadpool movies made peace with the fact that some part of the audience is gonna think "This is so stupid" and didn't try to convince them that actually I am a very intelligent movie tyvm

Not sure how essential Nic Cage's presence was, but he did get me to watch a movie I otherwise would have ignored.

Renfield felt like it was trying to split the difference between being an action-comedy, a horror-comedy, and an action-horror, and had to sacrifice 30% of the power of each to get there. Didn't go hard enough for me, I guess. I do agree that it was good that they didn't try to make it "intelligent". Both Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult were solid. A few decent laughs. I don't regret watching it, but I don't think I will again.
