Simply put, Nicolas Cage is one of the worst actors ever (IMHO). He seems to have this very dopey, naïve, indelicate grasp on the concept of acting. The ham over fist method, if you will. All of his performances in general leave me with the impression that he’s in pain, or having some serious gastrointestinal problems. In fact, if he were to ever put out a memoir, I wouldn’t be surprised if he admits to basing all of his performances on different forms of internal agita: gas, heartburn, colon cancer.
However, I saw the remake of The Wicker Man, and I gotta say—I almost dig him now, because it’s clear the guy is FUCKING BAT SHIT CRAZY. And I love crazy people.
The movie overall is totally idiotic and hysterical. Plus Nicolas Cage does to Leelee Sobieski what we all dream of doing. Check out these brilliant clips and I’m sure you’ll agree.
