    I humbly request you add The Forgotten Nic Cage as its own category in the sidebar. I think it deserves it.

    Hey Brad, What do you think of Nic Cage as Fu Manchu and the whole Werewolf Women of the S.S. grindhouse trailer?

    The Shot on Shitteo quality of this one really highlights how much the Nic Cage and Crispin Glover look-a-likes in Las Vegas Bloodbath were Nic Cage and Crispin Glover.

    It's no wonder he changed his name to Cage when he started doing movies.

    Okay, fuck it, you're right -- Nic Cage is simply awesome. Just 'cause you convinced me, doesn't mean this series should halt any time soon. All's I knows is, right now, I need more Nic Cage. Period. End of sentence.

    More. Okay, the only problem with Nick Cage is that modern cinema does not make enough Nic Cage movies. Point in fact: Last best Nick Cage flick? Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Directed by fucking Werner fucking Herzog. When was the last time you said to yourself, Damn, I gotta see the new Nic Cage move (ellipsis or dash) directed by Werner Herzog! I'll tell you how many times. Um . . . NEVER. 'Nuff said. Genius calls to genius. As like madness.

    Holy shit! After viewing this I got a nightmare where Nic Cage was playing (or simply just was) Ace Ventura and he's trying to pick up chicks. A waiter tells him after he got rejected by one "Listen Dave, you've got funny jokes, but you got no character." Yeah, Dave Ventura, like Ace's blond cousin or something. So he goes to acting school to get himself a character and pick up chicks. Hilarity ensues when it later warps to some sort of Pretty Woman scenario where Hector Elizondo is there as well. Needless to say at that point I was like "fuck this, I'm waking up from this nightmare."

    "You Can't Do That on Television was funny. Very, very funny." That's not what the Nostalgia Critic said.

    The Groove Tube was only so-so. It was no Kentucky Fried Movie.

    Wow. What presence!

    I for one have no idea what Gone in 60 Seconds is doing in Brilliant.

    At least the stereotypical cheerleader character is that hottie hot hottie from the early days of Facts of Life and from the 70's Mickey Mouse Club. Always dug her, though she's a terrible actress, ha.

    Hm... Nic Cage was a working actor in the early 80's... back when he was an early 20 year old... hm...

    You gotta wonder how much more kick ass Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers would have been if Nicholas Cage had been casted as the red ranger.

    It was a beneficial workout for me to go through your webpage. It definitely stretches the limits with the mind when you go through very good info and make an effort to interpret it properly.
