    The dude is apparently quite the spender but goddamnit he’s one of the most talented and versatile actors ever.

    Are there any movies where he just phones it in?

    Not that I’m aware of.

    Keep going strong you magnificent maniac hahah.

      Everyone seems to agree that half of his movies is completely terrible and the other half is awesome. But nobody can ever agree on which movies belong to which half.

        I think everyone can agree that The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent belonged in the awesome half. Him and Pedro Pascal had such amazing on screen chemistry.

        I think the Wickerman remake is just actually a good movie. Yes, its so over the top at times that you are laughing at how absurd some scenes are, but its also still horrifying. Its an actual enjoyable experience that is not as formulaic as many other ‘horror movies that are so bad theyre funny’.

        Same with Face Off, but its so absurd its funny and also still a good action movie.

        Mandy? I honestly think its also a great movie.

        I have not seen /everything/ Cage has been in… but everything I have seen that stars him basically either is a good movie, or is a stupid movie that is made hilarious by Cage’s acting.

        Everything (that I’ve seen) that doesnt star Cage but just features him as a more minor character? His bit or bits are incredible.
