knowing was by no means a great film but it wasn't terrible and at least it had the balls to end on THE FUCKING EARTH GETTING DESTROYED

Technically it didn't, it ended after that, when the kids were running towards a big tree with bunnies and retarded bleeeaauuugh

reasons not to hate nick cage:

ADAPTATION
matchstick men
the weather man
Lord of War

And quite possibly
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

Also Raising goddamn Arizona.

Otherwise, that list is acceptable.

God I'm using this thread to hate on Nick Cage some more because on Friday I saw a trailer for "the Sorcerer's Apprentice" when I went to see Sherlock Holmes with the fam. God dammit Cage, why?

apparently its based on the fantasia short. yeah.

honestly i see nothing wrong with that trailer, other than there being no reason at all to call it "the sorcerer's apprentice".

i was listening to a couple of my friends earlier today bitch about the sherlock holmes movie being action-packed, being "hollywood", not being "completely true to the source material", and what i said to them applies here too, i think. if you don't like dumb hollywood movies, DON'T WATCH THEM! seriously, do you know how many movies are out there? there's gotta be like THOUSANDS of the things! why even invest in a subset of films when the basic premise of them - cool shit thrown up on the screen for no real reason other than to be cool - is not something you're into?

(and i don't mean to be calling YOU specifically out here, i'm using "you" in the general sense.)

New red-band trailer.

Includes the tagline "With no power comes no responsibility," Nic Cage acting like a weirdo, and an 11-year-old girl saying the word "cock."

I have no qualms saying this is now my most anticipated movie of 2010.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #64 on:** 03 Feb 2010, 18:55 »

I think that by saying your looking forward to seeing Nick Cage being weird with a girl involving cock means that the F.B.I will be round soon?

Nick Cage is awesome.
Adapatation in particular.

I cannot wait for Kick-Ass.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #69 on:** 04 Feb 2010, 21:56 »

I believe Nick Cage has at times the capacity to be awesome(Weatherman,Adaptation,Raising Arizona,Lord of War), but he is not inherently awesome(Bangkok Dangerous,that upcoming Apprentice bullshit I'm assuming). Sometimes he is awesome unintentionally in the wrong way(Con Air, Not the BEES). But anyway I just saw that trailer and it made me believe again. After so many bad movies in a row he'll have another good one.

Shitty Nic Cage in a Good Movie

Surgoshan · « **Reply #72 on:** 04 Feb 2010, 23:12 »

Nick Cage isn't actually shitty, I don't think.

He just follows, too closely, the ethos "take what you can get", meaning he has been in a dozen great movies, a dozen okay movies, and a metric fuckton of shitty movies.

Kick-Ass looks to be either Awesome or So Bad It's Awesome.

1) if you watch a film with nicolas cage in it and you don't love him/his character you're fundamentally a broken person and the only emotion anyone can truly feel for you is pity, and if you think he doesn't know exactly what he's doing in every single role you see him play then you know absolutely nothing about him and have only paid cursory attention to films he's in and are missing one of the single most entertaining actors of the last twenty years and that's your loss. also everyone's forgetting bring out the dead

2) wanted blew as a comic and as a movie and had the worst last page of any comic book ever and i somehow didn't see that mentioned although i just skimmed the last page

I just saw this movie and massively enjoyed myself.

Dear god it was corny and gruesome.

Also, they used the whole orange/blue complementary colours thing to death.

Toba · « **Reply #82 on:** 28 Mar 2010, 23:47 »

Did you see it in a prescreening or are you a super effective pirate? Either way, we need the details.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #83 on:** 29 Mar 2010, 06:57 »

pre-screening. it was super gory. I've only read the first few comics in the series, and the story stayed pretty true for the first half of the movie, but went in a completely different direction for the second half.

But there were a couple of moments of good laughing, a lot of cringing at what looked like it was really painful, and some 'well that was the obvious joke'.

maxusy3k · « **Reply #84 on:** 30 Mar 2010, 10:52 »

Saw this on both Saturday and Sunday with different people, and really enjoyed it both times... will probably pick it up on DVD as well! Haven't read the comics though, so I can't really make any source material comparisons.

Overall agree with the posts above... very gory, but in a fairly comic fashion... there was nothing that was gruesome in the same way as you'd expect from, say, a horror movie or something. There was nothing incredible about it, but it was a good movie all round, managing to keep comedy, action and some drama in a fairly decent balance.

But then I'm a sucker for seeing anything at the cinema so I could be completely wrong.

So after reading the book I actually want to see this movie. Not because I thought the book was good in any way, but because there is no way they could make the movie as bad as the book.

Lets face it, just on that moustache alone he was always going to be way too creepy. Everything else is like the creepy cherry on top of the creepy cupcake.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #92 on:** 17 Apr 2010, 21:40 »

I think directors need to treat Nicholas Cage like they treat Al Pacino. Don't try to make him be serious and down to earth. Let him ham it up, eat the scenery so much you don't even need catering, he works best that way. If you get him for a role that doesn't allow the hamminess, it will get fucked up. See: The Wicker Man. This movie looks like it gives him plenty of room to work.

Dazed · « **Reply #93 on:** 17 Apr 2010, 22:04 »

The Wicker Man was all hamminess! That's amongst the reasons it's perfectly, hilariously awful. He just goes as over the top as possible.

But yeah this movie was fucking awesome.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #94 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 04:51 »

I liked how almost everyone in the movie was British. I also like the fact that Kick Ass was also John Lennon. Ummmm, IMDB facts.

The soundtrack was ace & The Daily Fail was, as always talking out of it's arsecheeks when it said that Hit Girl was sexualised, those creepy Journos are creepier than Nick Cage could ever be.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #95 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 04:55 »

Yes Mr. Journalist Man just because you sprung a boner at the sight of an 11-year-old in a schoolgirl outfit doesn't mean anybody else did. She's a child of school age, you disgusting fuck.

Lolita, Taxi Driver, Cape Fear & Curly Sue.

(She wasn't R rated, More A rated for annoying, so annoying NO ONE should have to watch her.)
