6 minutes standing because I can? Easy-peasy
6 minutes standing in a theater clapping for some dude I'm never gonna meet (or don't care to socialize with if we're in similar circles) because a movie was apparently good? I mean not hard but certainly uncomfortable, in more than one way.
Aren't they all fellow actors in the audience?
I love how Cage isn't afraid to take roles in weird movies. Willy's Wonderland and Mandy have been some of my favorites of his in recent years
Don't sleep on Pig! That was as surprisingly good as I had heard.
I always have to correct people who think I love Cage ironically. Have you seen Prisoners of the Ghost Land? Another recent work from him and its amazing.
Anytime someone says he can’t act I just tell them to go watch Leaving Las Vegas. The guy is insanely good when you give him good material to work with. He just had to take anything that came his way for a while there because he makes horrible financial decisions lol.
Also, Bringing Out the Dead.
I wasn't as bowled over by that one (and I am a big fan of Cage, Tak Sakaguchi and Sion Sono, so felt like it should have been a guaranteed hit with me) - it seemed like it was trying too hard.
Dream Scenario was also pretty good. I enjoyed it
I heard he got in financial trouble and started taking any role that pays.
And I think he made the required money and doesn't have financial issues anymore so now he picks only stuff he likes and wants to do
I think Mandy was his first movie post clearing his debt.
Six minites is pretty standard for Cannes though.
"minites"
This one doesn't speak Cageian.
There has only been one surf film, ever, worth the time of an auteur and that is Bruce Brown’s seminal masterpiece The Endless Summer. Others, including Point Break, North Shore, Blue Crush are cute.
Such disrespect against Big Wednesday shall not stand.
Completely overlooking this masterpiece.
This link better be Surf Ninjas or you and I will have words.
Edit- We good.
Sold!

Nothing yet but I'll keep an eye out.
