I am soooooooooooooo surprised.....NOT!

And Nic Cage can be good when he wants to be (ever seen Weather man, adaptation, lord of war etc?), I dunno why he keep making these really stupid films!

Nic Cage is messing with us all. Hes sitting at home reading a great screenply and is going to spring an oscar winning performance anytime now. Nic Cage, has more comebacks than herpes.

bangkok was ok, it had decent parts but it also had parts where it was like walle...no talking, just miming sh3t out and i had the same reaction..."C'MON!!! f3ckin' go already! do somethin"". same boring outcome during those scenes. although i actually laughed at some bad times because the execution was terrible. it started off like Lord of War, Cage narrating but...it's more of a rental than worthy of your 7 bucks. it DID make me wonder though, since cage was lovin' on a deaf chic...do deaf chics talk dirty in bed? i wonder if they have any deaf p3rn. before you say "god you're stupid"...lemme just say, i've seen two deaf people arguing up a storm AND driving at the same time. it was quite entertaining watching the driver "yell" at her husband and swerve in and out of my lane multiple times...

Nicolas Cage had his Oscar winning performance in "Leaving Las Vegas". As someone else said, he can give good performances if he chooses. He hasn't chosen to in awhile, unfortunately.

What? You mean people actually went to see Bangkok Dangerous instead of Dark Knight for the 10th time! What is the world coming to?

Yes, it's actually highly depressing that people made Bangkok Stupid the #1 film this weekend. I mean, good lord...

[The Joker at a meeting with the executives of major studios]:

JOKER: You see, a guy like me--

JEFF ROBINOV: A freak!

(Paramount, Fox and other executives chuckle)

JOKER: You see, a guy like me....look. I know why your box office is down. I know why Fox hasn't had a $100 million dollar flick this year. Bad movies. You see, the shi*t you've been putting out, has shown audiences that you're nothing more than overpaid weather men, trying to predict the box office, and that your writers are talentless hacks. And as for Lionsgate's plans to have Nic Cage as the #1 draw this weekend? Bad movies have no jurisdiction. The audience will eventually find out the movie sucks, and the falloff in next weekend's take will make your company SQUEAL! You see, I know the squealers, and you....

(Lionsgate walks out of the meeting. Robinov leans forward)

Robinov: So what are you proposing?

Joker: It's simple: Make better movies.

ALL THE STUDIO EXECUTIVES LAUGH!

LOL BANGKOK! I think Nic will come back with KNOWING and KICK-***.

watched red rock west last night again. cage is best suited for quirky low budget movies that give him room to own the script without too many distractions. the smaller the movie, the larger his presence imo.

sam heaton

me and my mates make better jokes than the ones in spoof movies when we watch a boring film together. such as "wudnt it be funny if this happened..."

spoof movies are getting worse y dont they just stop making them

Nicholoas Cage seems intent on making nothing but garbage, but this one might not be completely his fault. The economy as a whole is slumping right now as has been down all summer. Spending tons of cash at the movies or filling our gas tanks is a pretty easy choice to make.

Just saw the trailer for Knowing, comes out next year in March and stars Cage. It looks good, but I don't confide in trailers anymore.

No, Nic Cage can not be good. Unless they finally make the Droopy Dog movie, so Mr. "I have one hangdog expression that I use over and over" can finally star in the role for which he was born.

Cage should be more careful, he's a terrific actor, yes but if he's not wiser in choosing he's roles next time and keep making bad movies, he might get tainted and people will associate him with only making bad movies and shun audience away. Maybe he is getting some major moola and hey I'm so broke right now even I would star in Bankok Dangerous, but he's filthy rich so... what is he doing???! or are bad movies the only offers he's getting now??ouch!. He's still getting contracts and offers so he must be doing something right...right?. Hopefully there must be some surprising role like in Weather Man out there waiting just for Nic. And dont be too hard on him or the movie cause the economy is shi$%

cage is all over the place. he's got about 10 films in various stages of production now and they're totally scattered. he's voicing dumb kids movies and so on, but also doing solid prospects like 'kick@ss' with matt vaugh, 'scared straight' with john carpenter, the new roman polanski movie and herzog's 'bad lieutenant' remake (which i still can't figure out). i don't care much for cage at all (although he was excellent in 'adaptation'), but the guy has some promising projects mixed in among his usual crap.
