Nicolas Cage = Dreadful

[Reno]

hah thanks for that, good entertainment....i wonder if he ever had this Elvis on Crack look before Wild At Heart? He seems to have adopted it quite deeply. Though looking him up he is from California, which basically = the desert, as opposed to being an urbanite New Yoiker, so maybe its natural and not totally put on IYWIM . Didnt know his real name is Copolla and is uncle is Francis Ford

That's a fashion spread for a life style magazine. These aren't his clothes, they have been chosen by a stylist for the article, inspired by some iconic movie looks of his.

Here he is explaining his choice of Tartan on the red carpet with his love for Shortbread:

No one can play Nic Cage like Nic Cage. So why not cast him to play himself?

One of the points the interview makes is that the Elvis on Crack thing is largely a construction from youtube compilation clips - one he's surely leaned into over the last decade or so, but not really all that real, or that old.

Apropos of nothing, I watched Con Air again last week for the first time in probably a decade - and I honestly found it to be rather an enjoyable experience; I was also very, very stoned; which may or may not but fucking obviously played an immense role. Aside from Cage's goofy ass portrayal of a southern accent, I thought his acting was rather..adequate. As opposed for example to his acting in that atrocious Mom and Dad film, what a veritable nonstop fucking cringe fest that was.. I can usually well enough appreciate his bizarre idiosyncrasies, and altogether enjoy the eccentricity; but that one.. You ever cringe so hard it makes you fucking angry? Yeah; skip Mom and Dad. Lol. At least I think that's what it's called - the film where suddenly, out of nowhere and without even the eventual inkling of explanation (iirc anyway, it was ..difficult, to pay too close attention to truth be told), parents everywhere are stricken with the uncontrollable desire to murder their stupid fucking children.. has a lot of weird audio and needlessly erratic cuts in certain scenes, bc reasons(?).

Fun story, I first saw Con Air in theatre when I was a young, pre teenaged boy; my father took me to see it. I asked him to take me to see Space Jam... I was displeased with the outcome.

Lastly, I thought Color Out Of Space was pretty..watchable; if you're into 'Lovecraftian horror.' Which I'm not. But.

Watched this last night. Fairly enjoyable tripe, actually

Tis on my list

Probably not worth paying for it imo unless you’re really desperate for something to watch or you’re a Cage nerd, but certainly worth catching up for free. Pedro Pascal is brilliant as well. And Cage looks with it and healthy and fit, which is always good to see.

 

[AverageJoe]

I think you mean The Mandalorian is brilliant as well.

Which is nice

 

[skyscraper101]

It's OK, but very silly.

 

[Looby]

Saw this last night, mainly because my mate wanted to, and really enjoyed it. Agreed it was very silly but good fun and Pedro Pascal was brilliant.
I quite like how much Cage was willing to take the piss out of himself.
Mr Looby sent me a Wogan clip from years back when I described a bit of the film which was mental and he was clearly off his face.

We went to a lovely old theatre and in theory I’d like to give them more of my money than the multiplexes but I won’t.

It smelled musty, the drinks were cheap but warm and the seats are the worst, tiniest seats I’ve ever sat in.

I’m looking forward to seeing his attempt at Dracula

I’m looking forward to seeing his attempt at Dracula

If he can chew more scenery than Gary Oldman in the role back in the 90s, I’ll be impressed!

I'd be happy if he just revisited his vampires kiss persona.

Renfield is out at the weekend and by the looks of the latest trailer it’ll be brilliantly terrible

 

[8ball]

I’m just watching Unbearable Talent right now.
Mostly through my hands.
It’s great so far.

 

[T & P]

Renfield is out at the weekend and by the looks of the latest trailer it’ll be brilliantly terrible

I’ve just watched it, and it’s actually pretty good and entertaining fodder as a fantasy comedy film. Well choreographed action scenes decently produced. Certainly not bad, let alone cringeworthy.

Is this streaming on anything?

The only bad one so far. Three days ago it had a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Now it’s 92% (probably due to just The Guardian’s review).

Proper cinema release from tomorrow. Could also be available on streaming platforms right away- you never know anymore nowadays.

I don't trust Rotten Tomatoes, consult Metascore/Metacritic instead - gives you a broader range of views

You're getting Renfield and Longlegs mixed up

Me? Never heard of it, let alone having watched it. And it’s a brand new film

 

[Kid_Eternity]

He’s excellent in Lord of War and Snowden.

No I am not T&P is getting Renfield and Longlegs mixed up.
I asked him about Renfield, quoting his comment about having watched Renfield. I guess he didn't look at the bit I quoted.
