The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent


Cannit stand the bloke, won't watch any films with him in, ditto James Nesbitt.
Spot on mate. The only thing I’ve seen him even remotely acceptable in was Raising Arizona. When I saw Captain Corelli’s Mandolin I thought “Louis de Bernieres, I hope they paid you a shitload of money to let them bastardise your wonderful book!” Thank God I read the book first!
 
Wish we'd seen his superman film, talk of him doing a turn as the joker in future and he's due to play dracula in renfield later this year. Certainly avoided being pigeon holed. Could have happened after con air and the rock. Anyone who haven't seen it should watch pig, I doubt the film in the op is as that was but looking forward to finding out.
 
Nic Cage gets loads of shit but he's pretty good if he cast correctly. Of course he can be terrible int he wrong roles as well but if I look on IMDB he has quite a few films that I like him in:

Leaving Las Vegas
Pig
Vampire Kiss
Face Off
Colour Out of Space
Mandy
ConnAir
Kick Ass
Bringing Out the Dead
8MM
Kiss of Death
The Rock
Raising Arizona


That's probably a lot more decent performances than a load of actors who get praised (cough Tom Hardy cough) loads.
 
Random piece of crap info. Drove past his holiday villa about 50 miles south of Cancun. Canny size, no security, in the middle of the jungle on a dodgy track to a myan temple thing.

Fair play to the bloke, must be worth a mint.
 
Cage has mumbled his way through many films.

He needs to enunciate more clearly.

“Hummingbird something”

“Never leave a fallen man behind something”

He was broke a few years ago when he got divorced from Ms. Arquette, had to sell his property on the circus in Bath.
Nice to see he's recovered.
