Thread of Anticipating KNOWING with Nic Cage

"the bees, not the bees! not the bees!"

Has he done Shakespeare yet?

more youtube clips plz

I do this Nicholas Cage thing where I furrow my brow and say "I'm confuuused" in a Nic Cage voice and I've been doing it for so long that I forget if I got it from an actual Cage performance or someone impersonating him or?? Is this like a thing or did I make it up?

let's cut the chit-chat, A-HOLE!

"Are you desirable? Are you irresistible? Maybe if you drank bourbon with me, it would help. Maybe if you kissed me and I could taste the sting in your mouth it would help. If you drank bourbon with me naked. If you smelled of bourbon as you fucked me, it would help. It would increase my esteem for you. If you poured bourbon onto your naked body and said to me "drink this". If you spread your legs and you had bourbon dripping from your breasts and your pussy and said "drink here" then I could fall in love with you. Because then I would have a purpose. To clean you up and that, that would prove that I'm worth something. I'd lick you clean so that you could go away and fuck someone else."

That'll be his inauguration speech.

Did he ever say:

"I'm having kind of a crappy day"?

Also: It's pronounced As-wee-pay.

That bit is the only reason I don't totally hate him.

He's only got 38 fans on Facebook :(

When I saw the trailer I was worried his character had the same last name as mine. But I guess it's spelled differently!

ha theres so much wickerman on youtube

Is that Deadfall thing real? Wow.

LOL (xp)

i was thinking during my exile that there needs to be a nic cage poll - it would be the most difficult in the history of polls imo

wtf is with his total lack of sideburns? for some reason, it really creeps me out that he has this abnormal-looking hairlessness where his sideburns should be.

http://emtoast.com/wp-content/uploads/nickcagesideburnsemtoastcom-thumb.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/b6dd8o.gif

cannot be posted enuff

maybe his current lack of sideburns is to distinguish the man now from the man he was?

ned raggett to thread!

Somehow I was waiting for that.

The scene when he's bench-pressing a stripper in "Kiss of Death"

cockroach eating in vampire's kiss.
actually, most of that movie.

these sound amazing where can I see these (without watching the rest of the movies)?

you want to see all of 'Vampire's Kiss'

ministering to Michael Williams (omar from The Wire) dying of a gunshot wound in the existentialist EMT movie.

Zandalee, an otherwise completely forgettable direct-to-video "thriller" contains Cage delivering the following line, which has been lodged in my brain, verbatim since seeing it some 15 years ago:

"When you see that big red snatch comin' at you like a freight train, yeah, it's pretty exciting."

I think he was saying this to Judge Reinhold.

Saw a preview for an older Nic Cage movie the other night (i.e. he has "new wave haircut") - called Birdy, that seemed like he had a retarded friend and they both got sent to Vietnam and end up traumatized. Anybody seen it?

^^^Matthew Modine thinks he is a bird. laffs ensue

Great soundtradck!

xp: Shakey - I think the preview showed a scene w/Nic Cage with a bandaged head. Why do bandaged heads make me laugh?

http://www.switchpod.com/users/redoxsim/mr_bump.gif

^^ I am laughing at this. I would laugh more if it was animated and did a stupid dance.

Vampire's Kiss is on instawatch netflix!
i'm so not looking forward to astro boy

how'd it get burned? how'd it get burned? how'd it get HOW'D IT GET BURNED?

I love the remake because it took all of the subtle commentary on religious fanatacism and the paradox between Christian faith and Pagan heritage from the original film and replaced it with bees. And I like how, instead of in the original where he sings hymns and prays for his soul while he's burning (which drove hom the movie's two central themes), he just screams unintelligebly.

btw this is still one of the funniest videos on youtube

seriously, knowing might be funnier than wickerman -- wickerman's last half hour is really, really top notch "holy crap did i just watch that?" insanity, but the lolz are spread out more evenly in knowing. "THIS. IS. NOT. A. CRANK. PHONE. CALL!! JUST TELL THE FBI!"

Actually saw this one in the theater:

I tried & failed to find YT clips to post of my two favorite Nic Cage moments: (1) The scene toward the end of Vampire's Kiss when he's stumbling down Wall St. in broad daylight trying to convince various pedestrians to drive a wooden stake through his heart; & (2) in Wild at Heart when he & L. Dern are at the speed-metal concert & they throw the mike out to him & break into that Elvis song & all the teenage girls start screaming.

I've really gotta see The Wicker Man in its entirety.

nutty pachinko ads ftw

Next looks like it has potential

he's currently, ummm, remaking Mickey Mouse:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963966/

nic cage gets a lot of shit but i love him

Next

was he drinking a martini at a roadside diner? clear a space on the shelf for Oscar

Sorcerer's Apprentice looking like a must see!

"A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack."

yes this is potential

SRSLY GUYS

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized the new Nicolas Cage movie is about him busting out of Hell to save a baby. They really need to advertise these things better.

it's solid. i'd say it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from the ads, but at the same time doesn't deliver on the premise to the extent that it could've. Cage is pretty subdued in it, but Heard is surprisingly credible in a tricky role. the main heavy sucks, but Fichtner owns. david morse cameo. needs to be seen in 3d.

i feel p burned after paying money to see season of the witch tbh

yeah season of the witch was a real letdown

yeah, that had classic written all over it. after 'gone in 60 seconds' we were all looking forward to a dominic sena-nic cage reteam.

well, i was. gone in 60 seconds is rad

hey, the premise had a lot of potential, it just couldn't deliver. drive angry otoh is exactly what the trailer promises.

Just... IMHO...

Thanks, Dog the Bounty Hunter!

there was a pretty great Nic Cage bit on Conan tonight where they showed prime clips from Next, Vampire's Kiss, Matchstick Men, Deadfall and Zandalee

Top Five URL.

"It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife. My two-year old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed," he told reporters on Wednesday.

"I know it sounds funny ... but it was horrifying."

A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack.

On my costume, my leather jacket, I would sew in ancient, thousands-of-years-old Egyptian relics, and gather bits of tourmaline and onyx and would stuff them in my pockets to gather these energies together and shock my imagination into believing that I was augmented in some way by them, or in contact with ancient ghosts. I would walk on the set looking like this, loaded with all these magical trinkets, and I wouldn't say a word to my co-stars or crew or directors. I saw the fear in their eyes, and it was like oxygen to a forest fire. I believed I was the Ghost Rider.

and apparently Cage is also writing a book on his special acting technique 'Nouveau Shamanic'

I would like to hook up with one of the great Japanese filmmakers, like the master that made Ringu, and I would like to take The Wicker Man to Japan, except this time he's a ghost.

This style, if you will, or programme, is really teaching how not to act, and how to utilise your dreams, power objects, even taking weekends to experiment with imagination and finding ways of infusing your performances with those experiences so that it's no longer acting but truth. Acting implies lying in some way - Olivier said as much in his autobiography, and I don't want to lie. Thankfully Sean Penn said that Nicolas Cage is no longer an actor, and that's what I want. I want to find a way to make it more truthful. This style is stimulating your imagination to be more truthful in the words and the movements.

That article was a gold mine.

Along with the usual Bresson/Tarkovsky-type fare, Toronto's Lightbox actually has a Nicholas Cage festival on the schedule this season: Bangkok Dangerous: The Cinema of Nicolas Cage. (Huh?)

Nicolas Cage Files for Annulment 4 Days After Getting Hitched

rip big man's nuptials, heaven needed a marriage made in heaven

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/nicolas-cage-star-as-nicolas-cage-unbearable-weight-massive-talent-1254626

Cage, if deals close, would star as actor Nicolas Cage. The character is desperate to get a role in a new Tarantino movie while also dealing with a strained relationship with his teenage daughter. He also occasionally talks to an egotistical 1990s version of himself who rides him for making too many crappy movies and for not being a star anymore.

The Cage character is also under a mountain of debt and finds himself forced to make an appearance at the birthday party of a Mexican billionaire who happens to be a fan of Cage’s work and secretly hopes to show him a script on which he’s been working.

While he bonds with the man, Cage is informed by the CIA that the billionaire is actually a drug cartel kingpin who has kidnapped the daughter of a Mexican presidential nominee and is recruited by the U.S. government to get intelligence. The situation spirals even more dramatically when the Mexican brings over Cage’s daughter and his ex-wife for a reconciliation, and when their lives are on the line, Cage takes on the role of a lifetime.

It doesn't sound a million miles from JCVD, but on a more epic scale. I hope there's a scene where he reveals that he didn't want to say "who burned the toast", and he didn't realise the cameras were running when he said "vive la fuckin' France", and that Werner Herzog told him that all the audio for Bad Lieutenant was being dubbed in post, so he just delivered placeholder lines, and that he was goaded into overacting. And that deep down he plays with model trains, just like ordinary men.

Given the fact that pop stars often give private concerts for billionaires, I wonder if Nicolas Cage actually does do private Shakespeare readings for rich people, and if he has to rewrite Shakespeare so that it has "blue" language such as fucking etc.

finally caught up with teen titans go to the movies (easily the best latterday dc movie by quite some distance) and was thrilled to see that nic cage plays superman

We talked about Dram Scenario yet?

*Dream Scenario

I can discuss drams all day

genuinely curious if this movie is any good or not because it looks really interesting and most of his "normal guy" roles wind up getting really weird at some point

I enjoyed it. He's still being "weird Cage" but it's a different take on it, and the story's fun while being a well-nuanced take on the phenomenon of memes/unwitting celebrity/"cancel culture" etc

The other day I put Renfield on in the background and sorta half-watched it, and that was pretty enjoyable -- like if the Deadpool movies made peace with the fact that some part of the audience is gonna think "This is so stupid" and didn't try to convince them that actually I am a very intelligent movie tyvm

Not sure how essential Nic Cage's presence was, but he did get me to watch a movie I otherwise would have ignored.

Renfield felt like it was trying to split the difference between being an action-comedy, a horror-comedy, and an action-horror, and had to sacrifice 30% of the power of each to get there. Didn't go hard enough for me, I guess. I do agree that it was good that they didn't try to make it "intelligent". Both Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult were solid. A few decent laughs. I don't regret watching it, but I don't think I will again.

watched Dream Scenario, thought it was decent but got the suspicion that it couldn't decide if it was trying to make any internal sense or not. there were a lot of intriguing questions raised, particularly why some people were getting the dreams but others weren't, but it all kinda got swept under the rug with the 3rd act which felt like the SNL version of a Vanilla Sky type plot twist, at the end I thought that maybe the dream technology was actually being beta tested on Nic Cage without his knowledge but nothing really indicated that was actually the case

Cage himself is really good in it though, bit of a Paul Giamatti type character, a guy who's just so dull and utterly uninteresting that he makes people kind of uncomfortable. he's so great at playing these characters that you really want to see less of, which I guess was kind of the point of the movie. idk if I recommend it exactly but it did have a lot of good bits. also Michael Cera shows up playing a very Michael Cera type character.

The Surfer was really good, reminds me a lot of Wake In Fright and The Swimmer. Recommend it.
