In theaters middle of September.

Just rewatched Adaptation and I got to say that has got to be in the top five of his best films.
Leaving Las Vegas was heavy..
Favorite Cage line ever... "Put the bunny back in the box"..
Is that when she tells him to fuck her ass?Quote:

Giving the film a 2.5 out of 5
Would definitely be enhanced seeing it in an altered mindstate and with a large group of people.
I have only seen 2 other film by the director, Sion Sono, and he seems to be about style over substance, favoring a heightened stage set look that stresses artificiality and mock surrealism. In short, the film looks great, like a Broadway stage production soaked in meth and LSD; it's reliant on splashy production design and rich colors (Sono definitely has ripped pages from both the Argento and The Archers books).
The story cribs quite a bit of ideas from He'll Comes to Frogtown, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, and Escape From New York and there are some stunningly brilliant moments scattered throughout, but quite a bit of the acting is overly earnest and amateurish and the plot is a bit mushy.
I'd ruminate more, but I'm feeling lazy.
This review pretty much nails my thoughts, but in different vernacular:

I have seen that trailer 2x now in the theater and it just doesn't look as bonkers as it sounded on paper...
It also seems suspiciously similar to Guy Ritchie's latest, which was actually supposed to drop around the same time, but has been removed from the release schedule...
Also, will Cage playing a heightened version of himself be able to top Neil Patrick Harris in Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle?
:biggrin:

To be fair, I don't pay much attention to the trailers as they all too often spoil the movie. I usually take that time to use the bathroom and sanitize my seat, so usually only catch glimpses here and there.

I gave up. TL. DR
Well that's GQ.
Pretty damn good article. I encourage another go - just ignore all that idiotic fashion BS.Quote:

But mostly he’s boring. And can’t act.
So trying to read about all his struggles and goodness, being interrupted by pictures of his narcissistic expensive clothing kinda killed the vibe.
My theory:
The Nic Cage that we, the general public, have access to is all an act, thus making him the greatest actor of all time.
Nic Cage?
No, NICK CAVE...

That ^^^ was a fun watch.
So I follow the security guy into a small private room, adjacent to the main bar. Sitting there is Nicolas Cage. He is wearing a pork-pie hat and holding a didgeridoo.Quote:

Are you ready for The Age of Cage?

I liked allot of his movies
I didn’t like 8mm.
But dam he was good in that
The critical hype train is going mach 11...
100% on RT right now for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent:
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the...massive_talent
[Full disclosure: I have not read any of these reviews as I prefer to go to a movie with the least amount of outside critical influence bouncing around in my brain]
Yet again. Nic Coppola plays himself.
But I’ll watch it. The trailer looks good.
Cage gets "real" on Reddit:

I finally got around to seeing Unbearable Weight a few nights ago. Watched it on DVD from the library. It was good, it was fun, it was good fun. Really enjoyed it, and also the special feature post-screening Q&A at SXSW 2022.Quote:

The real argument Nic Cage>Sylvester Stalone?
Valley Girl
Raising Arizona

Whether or not Cage makes it onto the Enterprise remains to be seen. While not necessarily a franchise, Cage will be putting his own spin on Dracula when he stars as the iconic vampire in Universal’s upcoming action comedy “Renfield,” opening in theaters April 14.
I was all in until Awkwafina popped up.
I can’t stand her…
