nicolas cage as anything other than a liver-lipped, slack-jawed emo-boy is not credible...
How about Nicolas Cage as an astrophysicist in an operatic adaptation of Das Kapital gets a limb hacked off by a woman giving birth on a Swedish commuter train?
Daisy: He used to have some acting chops. I wonder what happened? (Hint: cha-ching!)
K: ...while whistling Tom Sawyer and the entire flip side of 2112.
There's something about Mr Cage's hair that makes me wannae buy him a big fuck-off pot of Brylcream, and stand there while he puts the lot on.
Nic Cage's forehead is spooky.
but he was good in the Weather Man
nick cage...do you need the money THAT badly???
oh well...
reading your blog often i've noticed that you're a theater buff. me and my wife went to check out a production of orwell's 1984 last night at the 59e59 theater (btwn park and madison) last night.
it's a very small minimalist production but it was very very good.(imho anyway) disturbing and powerful. without giving too much away the stage layout especially conveys the feeling of always being watched by big brother.
i believe tix are still at a preview price of $19.84.
worth checking out.if you're interested. just tought i'd mention it
Jimmy: Occasionally, Mr. Cage wears outrageous, Jesus-like wigs. Take a look at this beauty.
DF: He has a Dr. Frankenstein’s monster forehead. Without the jagged scar.
Daisy: He was also good in Adaptation.
Jason: Yea, I’ve had my eye on that production. I didn’t know the tix were only $19.84! 59e59 is a nice venue. They get a lot of stuff from Britain/Ireland.
adaptation was prob the last nick cage movie i paid to see. an amazing film too! why doesn't he go for more flicks like this??? i know the bank is in schlock like knowing but like i said earlier... does he need the money THAT badly??? are hair extensions THAT costly???
it was me and my wife's first time at 59e59 and i'd certainly go again. did notice that there was currently some irish and british productions playing there as well.
Nicolas Cage in anything since Raising Arizona or Wild at Heart - pass.
If you're bald be proud of it.. don't cover it up for rying out loud!
Long hair makes him look like a freak.
