Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
Because I once, long ago, enjoyed a movie he was in, I feel I owe it to Mr. Cage to point out that he spells his first name “Nicolas”
Oh, so he does! I’ll correct that right now, in the title if not the URL slug.
Also, I’m not particularly a fan of Cage’s, but I’m no hater either. I’m indifferent about his body of work at best.
You say his hair is evolving. Looks to me more like it is slowly going extinct.
Did you not see the last shot? That’s definitely a new species of some sort.
I think Cage is a brilliant actor who also, unfortunately, can’t seem to turn anything down, so the great bulk of his career is…sub-par? We have Adaptation, Raising Arizona, and Leaving Las Vegas, but then we’re stuck with everything else. Also, Face Off is how I decide whether or not I can take a human being seriously: if you like it, then all of the words that come out of your mouth, after you’re foolish enough to reveal what should be a dark, shameful secret, sound like, “Blah” or “Durh.” Sometimes there are subtle differences in inflection or speed that can convey hunger, happiness and pain, or perhaps a looming bout of incontinence, but otherwise it’s all basically the same sad sound.
This clearly does not prove evolution. Each of these hairs is a distinct “kind”. Please show me the intermediate forms.
Unless you can do this, you clearly have not made your case.
On a more cinematic (and slightly more serious) note…how can an actor do films that are span the spectrum from “complete and utter shit” to “really interesting and well worth watching”?
Oh, and with regard to Peer Gynt Suite Number 2 – Are you saying you don’t like Morning Mood?
