Nicholas Cage...

[EvilTOJ]

I loved Tom Hanks as [ame="http://youtube.com/watch?v=9wOcQr-2-pE"]James Bond[/ame]

 

[uglygoat]

only cage film i liked was windtalkers, and only at the very end when he got killed....

 

[Ivan Lendl]

Tom Hanks is cool, Big, Private Ryan, Gump was awesome the first time I saw it, still has good parts (like the whole vietnam scene) I thought Castaway minus the beggning and end was great.

But!@!!@!@!



This thread is about Nicholas Cage and nothingsuch as bull****!!!!




Also shut the **** up, all you ******* who don't fully respect the Cage as of yet....


You will or not...it will be decades...shut it you...

Luckily Robin Williams didn't get the part, now that guy annoys the **** out of me.

Amen! He annoys me too. I don't mind some of his movies when he's playing a serious role, but he would have DESTROYED Big.

There are very few actors that would make me avoid seeing a film... OK, let me change that: Only ONE actor would keep me away from a film and that is Nic Cage.

I'll gladly concede that he has had a pair of good roles (Raising Arizona and Adaptation), but I think credit for those must go to the writers of those films (the Coen Brothers, who I adore; and Charlie Kaufman, a creative genius - respectively). Cage is undeserving of his status as one of Hollywood's leading actors. His performances are so wooden, lacking emotion and expression. I perceive in him a stoned-out detachment in whatever's going on around him in nearly every scene. He'll recite the dialog but it never comes out right. I don't think he has the ability to consistently make you believe he's someone else. It's not a character up there - it's Nic Cage.

FWIW, SWMBO's pick for most-hated actor is Tom Cruise...

Another AMEN to that one. Can't think of one film I thoroughly enjoyed with TC in it.

 

[olllllo]

I rest my case

 

[Hell Brew]

Adam Sandler... hmm, good call there. Luckily Robin Williams didn't get the part, now that guy annoys the **** out of me.

I am going to have to third that. I absolutely can' t stand him. No other actor annoys me as much. Even his stand up sucks.

Thanks olllllo for confirming why I keep passing up renting that, even for $1....

 

[mr x]

The Weatherman
Lord of War
Bringing out the Dead

Good movies IMHO

Ditto! I clicked away after 90 seconds. What a waste of bandwidth.

Me, I'm a fan of John Wayne. The Duke!

I'm not a huge Cage fan, but I enjoyed National Treasure, Lord of War, Snake Eyes, Gone in 60 seconds.

For those of you who liked National Treasure, there's a sequel coming out around Christmas.

I am getting into this late, but.....Jesus H christ! Doesn't anyone know who David Lynch is?
"Wild At Heart" is probably Nicholas Cage's best movie ever, with the possible exception of Raising Arizona.

If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and Netflix it. (or something)

He stopped making really good movies from ConAir on. He was so great as the idiot, or the cool guy. Who the hell decided he was an action hero?

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

I was just reading on another site where he's going to be doing a remake of the scifi classic, 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' from back in the 50's. That movie is one of my favorites and if they crap it up I'll be pissed.

 

[bassplayrr]

Two of the worst movies I've seen in years, like so bad they made me physically angry, were Wicker Man and Ghostrider. They both have something in common. You have two guesses as to what that is, though you likely only need one.

 

[Glibbidy]

Dunno...I kinda liked 8MM & Rumble Fish

National Treasure was a great movie. I'd say that plenty of actors and actresses make their share of crap.

BTW, it's nice to see another obvious Lions fan on the boards.

Yep, David Lynch is the master. Wild at Heart is a good one, but Blue Velvet with Dennis Hopper sucking on the nitrous is outrageous. Twin Peaks! Christ what a nut. Another great one is Mullholland Drive.

Actually Movie freaks will tell you instead of following actors to pick films, follow the directors because they are the ones that make the pictures, the actors are just the paint on the canvas.

EDIT: Oh! And maybe.. Fred Savage? Maybe...

i to was annoyed by williams until he did dead poets society that changed my view of him and i think he's an awesome ad-lib actor as long as the director reins him in

From ConAir on? What about The Rock? Pure tripe. A blemish on Connery's record too, not to mention Ed Harris. Someone should take out a restraining order on Bruckheimer/Bay so that they can't go within 100 yards of any good actors. Sure, take ****** Affleck and put him in your sappy Pearl Harbor garbage. Do that mess all day long. But leave good actors alone, all you do is ruin them.

Nic Cage gets on my nerves as much as Tom Hanks these days. That fat-faced twit needs to go away. But I digress...

I loved Nic in Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation. Lord of War wasn't horrible. The rest are pretty pathetic. Like his "over the top" character in Face/Off...the "trying too hard" was practically seeping out of him.

And I don't care what Robin Williams did in DPS, he's a bit-stealing hack like Carlos Mencia. He's one of those guys that, when they walk into comedy clubs and someone is up on stage, there's a "sign" that the other guys make...sometimes it's a light, sometimes it's a hand sign...but it means "Robin Williams is in the house, cut out your good material or it's gonna get stolen". Pathetic hack.

 

[todd_k]

I heard yesterday that Nicholas Cage is going to star in the Magnum PI movie...

A few more classics:

Valley Girl
Vampire's Kiss
Moonstruck
Face Off
Matchstick Men

Rock on "The Cage"!

Was the Rock before Con Air? I don't really care, they both sucked uncontrollably.
I hold actors accountable for choosing bad roles. I don't blame the director if an actor is in a sucky role.
There are some actors who only take good roles. Selling out applies to actors too.

Mencia steals material? That sucks.
