How do we feel about him? I think he's brilliant in Matchstick Men and ok in The Rock. Other than that I feel most movies he's in would have been better with some other actor. Completely ruined Con Air and don't get me started on the Wickerman remake which was pointless to begin with but he made it 100 times worse. He's ok at playing the snivelling, somewhat pathetic fool, but when he tries to be all hard and tough I just cringe.... I just watched Astro Boy the other day and I couldn't believe they used him as a voice actor for that. I kept picturing him and his stupid hair every time the character spoke.....

It's Nicolas Cage... I mean, how can we not love/hate him? It's our job like his is to "act".
The rule of Nic Cage is that if you keep him on a tight leash, you won't end up with complete awfulness. But, if you give him free range, well... Bad things happen.

Bad things could be great also. I mean if he was always leashed we wouldn't have the classics of "I'm a vampire!" "Not the bees!" and "The fucking hangars!"

I can't help but like him.
I've been in love since the day I saw fast times.

I can't hate the guy either. I'd rather have someone like him who is willing to go all out for a role (even if it's wrong) than just a bland actor who isn't willing to take chances.

Please don't. Last time I saw the two videos of his freak outs I laughed so much I cried. And I don't cry!

This is only ten minutes, but the whole film MUST be seen!

Flashes, have you ever heard of not telling people what you don't like because you can be 100% certain they'll do it just to spite you? Well... I'm spiting you. =)
We'll start off casual with "The Wicker Man".

Nicolas Cage and the fucking iguanas?
Maybe he doesn't like someone's soul dancing?

You just can't let Nic Cage off his leash. Although, if you don't, you risk getting a role he'll sleepwalk through...

To think they seriously considered giving him the lead role in The Wrestler......

To be honest, I don't think it would've been that bad. Of course, in retrospect, I can't picture anyone besides Mickey Rourke anymore. But, that's my own fault.

That's what we said after Sin City. Mickey just doesn't seem to like to hang onto his status in the chances he's gotten in the last ten years. It's a damn shame.

Nobody puts Nic Cage in the corner ... Yeah, i remember hearing about that Dirty.. He even went to some Ring Of Honor wrestling events but i am glad Mickey got the role altho his career has fell off the wayside now... You do have to appreciate the fact that Nicolas Cage understood that Darren Aronofsky wanted Mickey for the role and gladly stepped aside to give Darren the actor he truly wanted. I've always enjoyed Cage, cause the guy can act. As Blonde said, he needs to have a leash cause he can veer into some unwanted territory. With a good script and director to hone him in, the guy can be great.
