_______________________________
Now Come the Plaintiffs, All Intelligent Society, by and through Morfin, their attorney, making the following claims: 1. ADD professed to like Nicholas Cage.
2. Only idiots like Nicholas Cage.
3. ADD's profession will increase opinion of Cage and result in more Cage movies.
4. An increase in Cage movies will result in Plaintiffs and all other persons suffering massive insults to their intelligence.
5. As a result, Plaintiffs will suffer emotional distress and harassment, from which they cannot escape because, even though they do not go to Cage movies, they have to endure advertisements for said movies which inevitably involve Cage uttering speech in that dull, monotone fashion.
6. Wherefore, Plaintiffs pray that this Honorable Court Will enter a judgment against ADD in favor of Plaintiffs in the amount of Umpty Billion GMF$.
Respectfully submitted,

It's amazing how often I actually use these in everyday life, given that I use movie quotes way too much in my conversations.
They truly are classic, and Nic Cage's delivery was perfect. Unlike, for example, his delivery in Peggy Sue Got Married..

His love of comic books is his only redeeming quality. Raising Arizona can't even redeem his acting ability. Most of the time I just wish he would live the script to Leaving Las Vegas.

Jim Carrey isn't a bad actor. And Val Kilmer is a great actor, he just picks shitty roles.

Val Kilmer was in Tombstone. This immediately makes him better than a bad actor.

Say what you say, but he was intentionally hilarious in Raising Arizona.
Why is everyone ripping on Ben Stiller? Stiller is good at what he does. The same goes for him as for a lot of the people named as bad actors (Kilmer and Carey). Bad roles can make any decent actor seem incredibly shitty.

Cage wants to make Ghost Rider 2!!!111one
http://www.superherohype.com/news/ghostridernews.php?id=7640
Cage: Yes, actually, had a nice meeting with the studio about 3-months ago, and we talked about going international with that character. Taking him into Europe, having him go on a motorcycle tour through Europe, and he's connected with the church, if you can believe that. So it sort of has elements to it that are very much in the zeitgeist, with "The Da Vinci Code" and things like that.

oh and...Keanu Reeves is a truly sucky actor.

It bombed... hard as did everything over the weekend. It was like the worst weekend in 5 or 7 years or something like that.
I saw it. Not bad, not great. It was decent for a asian remake. They should have changed the title. Pretty much every critic said that.

Con Air is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's campy without being self-aware, has an awesome cast, and some scenes that are classic. I'd also like to give credit to the excellent blu-ray transfer. It's actually one of the best I've seen. You can even see the individual hairs in Nicolas Cage's mulletweave!

But, I have to admit that this film is somewhat of a guilty pleasure when it came out in the 80's. Maybe it was the constant playing of "I'll Melt With You" during it. And, for you useless knowledge fans, if I am not mistaken, he was credited as Nicolas Coppolla in the film.
