For the longest time, I refused to watch anything he was acting in. I think it was sometime between maybe 1997 and 2002 when I realized how much his movies had started to suck.
More recently though, I caved and decided to watch Renfield, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's not like the greatest movie ever, but I thought it was cute. And I actually really enjoyed Nic in this movie for the first time in decades.
I totally get that, but for what it's worth, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is worth giving a shot, too! It breaks the 4th wall in a refreshingly humorous & self-deprecating way. Loved it!
Yea that was a fun movie.
I'd be willing to give it a try. I haven't watched much of his more recent filmography, and what I've seen was not in chronological order.
After seeing him in Renfield, I did end up watching Color Out of Space and Willy's Wonderland. Neither of those movies was something magnificent the way I view his performance in Renfield, but I enjoyed them. Well, Willy's Wonderland was meh, but I really liked Color Out of Space for what it is worth.
Pig is supposed to be quite good. In fact I think I'll go watch it.
Pig is a really unique and fun movie. John Wick meets Top Chef, or something like that...
I'd argue his best performance was in Vampire's Kiss, and a toss up between this scene or this one.
Last night i looked at this briefly and just thought "cool, thats nic cage through the years" this morning i look again and i realise what i missed and now im giggling by myself in the bathroom. Thankyou OP.
Made me think of Dwight Shrute's carved rescue dummy face. 😆
I knew I recognized Nicolas Cage from Saturday Night Fever!
Looks like he stopped aging somewhere around '02.. then 2022 opened his eyes.
Need to get my hands on those magic pills that make one's hair grow back
Now here's a story...
You forgot the one from the 1800s
Face..... Off.....
The eternal Cage.
Literal face off
okay never mind the John Travolta picture but oh my gosh 1982, I never knew Nicholas Cage was kinda sorta handsome. Maybe he worked really hard with a photographer to get that shot.
That was pretty funny. (1997 Faceoff if anyone missed it.)
I was a projectionist when that movie came out. As a consequence, there are parts of that movie that I watched and parts of the audio I couldn't ignore dozens of times.
Sometimes that didn't make me hate the movies that came out when I was a projectionist.
This was not one of those times.
Why is John Travolta in the middle? Did he get a role that was supposed to go to Nicolas Cage in 1997 or something?
You got me good, laughed my face off.
You don't say?
You may have to face-off against some people who wonder why you posted this.
Thanks for helping me connect the dots. I'm not smart but I do like a joke with more than one face
You're welcome. Glad I could help you face the situation.
More of a removal of false assumptions, really
Man, Travolta got himself really..... Caged in.....
Was he briefly John Travolta in 1997? Wtf happened?
He took Travolta's face... off.
Face/Off?
Oh shit that came out 27 years ago. Woosh.

97 was a good year for him.
Now do Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Or his identical twin brother
Visited his grave once. It's really nice.
I was gonna say you missed his bald phase, but then I saw the joke.
What about Nic Cage in 2014 as a cat.
A sexy cat
He took his face..... off.

Didn’t know he was Pee-Wee Herman in 2002.
