When the going gets weird, Nicolas Cage namedrops druids.

  • Screen Junkies: You once shared with me the Hunter S. Thompson quote: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." How did you apply that to Season of the Witch?
  • Nicolas Cage: Well, in that case it’s probably weird in the true sense of the word, meaning W-Y-R-D, not W-E-I-R-D. The interesting thing about the word “weird” is it’s almost a holy word in that it was an ancient Celtic Druid way of life meaning literally to transform or to turn. That was the etymology of the word weird as we know it today because when you call somebody weird, it’s usually because they’re not acting like themselves or they’re turning into something else.

I love this graphic, but I’ve got to throw in my two cents. Bad Lieutenant shouldn’t be anywhere near brilliant. If it is, Kick-Ass should be closer, because Kick-Ass is a better movie on pretty much every level. Kiss of Death was supposed to be serious Cage? He bench presses a stripper! If this is serious, I’m worried about having to sit through Knowing. Vampire’s Kiss should be a lot further to the right, especially considering where The Wicker Man is. Actually, I’m not really sure what The Wicker Man is doing that far over on the insane side. (Maybe just for “THE BEES! THEY’RE IN MY EYES!” which, admittedly, made the movie for me. Do yourself a favor and watch the original instead.) All of these amazingly Cagey faces and awful hairstyles are making me excited for some of these movies. For the record, I’m most excited to see Face/Off. It’s going to be beautiful.

Marissa’s haiku review of It Could Happen to You

Nic Cage cop movie
without cocaine or violence?
Endlessly boring.

Even though I’ve now seen Kiss of Death twice, I think of this scene from The Critic every time. (Since Tumblr doesn’t allow me to link directly to the scene, skip ahead to 18:04.)

Cagematch of Death: best Nic Cage movie that hasn’t been made yet, or an omen that this project is going to kill us?

David Caruso takes his shirt off, like, seven times.

  • Marissa: He's taking his shirt off again! He looks like a naked mole rat, but ginger.
  • Beth: This movie needs to stop trying to sell us on the idea of David Caruso as a sex object. If you're going to do the dramatic shirt removal thing, you need to be ripped!
  • Marissa: He's like a human carrot. Even his lips are orange!

Nicolas Cage: overacting for America.

I hope the twist of this anecdote is that he was actually looking in a mirror.
