Three or four movies? So he's giving his two weeks?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

That was way more clever than I think people are giving you credit for.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

He'll be home in time for christmas

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I will probably watch anything he’s in out of sheer morbid curiosity.

Recentlish movie with him that I really enjoyed:

Mandy (2018): Slasher/LSD infused terror movie excellently acted by Cage (that scream at the bathroom is a delight), with a really interesting cinematography.

Color of out space (2019): I don't remember a lot about this one, except that scene at the kitchen.

Pig (2021): seek and revenge thriller that would make you cry.

The unbearable weight of massive talent (2022): funny action movie, Pedro Pascal steal the spotlight, but Cage doesn't get behind.

Pig was a masterpiece. Mandy is insane.

I enjoyed him as Dracula in Renfield recently - my mini review here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I also enjoyed Renfield, didn’t go into it with a lot of expectations and left happy with my decision after having some good laughs

Noted, I'm watching it this weekend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@driving_crooner cool! The plot is terrible but the film's a lot of fun.

That is such a Cage movie summary it should be on the cover. Sold me on it.

So many of his movies have the effect you end up wondering whether you fell asleep during it and dreamt some of it.

Color out of space is great. It's just a family dealing with a little cosmic horror for the weekend.

Bangkok Dangerous is a goddamn masterpiece, and I'm willing to die on this hill.

Nick Cage reached a level of Hollywood success that few can accomplish. Then he was like, "meh, I've already won. I'm going to go back to accepting every role that comes my way".

Everyone would* be yelling and unhinged. First thought is that The Whitest Kids You Know skit. You know the one. Yes that one, but bigger mouths and smiling.

He has directed one movie, called Sonny. It stars James Franco and isn't very good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It stars James Franco and isn't very good.

I feel like those 2 things are related.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It seems like he's been in a lot of movies recently.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Pig was fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I get that feeling a lot lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Doubt it. Douuuubt it.

I imagine him scratching his arm after he said it, twitching a little.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank god, but I still love Nic Cage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If he keeps going NicCageathon becomes more and more challenging every year.
