You know, the kind of movies you don't watch for the acting, but for the special effects. Haven't watched any of his less blow-shit-up type movies, so that may be why I find him tolerable.<br /><br />No argument on Cage, though.<br /><br />1. Killswitch Engage, "Daylight Dies"<br />2.

I'm not defending Cage, mind, but that film was a perfect fit for his..."talents"? (Of course, his presence in KNOWING a couple months back singlehandedly kept it from being the best movie of the year.)<br /><br />1. Van She - Cat & The Eye<br />2.

He was in "Lo...Oh, Nicolas Cage is a good one. He was in "Lord of War" a few years back, which was awesome, and made me believe he was pulling out of his skid for good -- but then came "Wicker Man" and "Next" and those others you mentioned, and I was like, "Nope, dude's a goner. Too bad."<br /><br />M. Night Shyamalan is another one I forgot about. I don't know that anyone's downward trajectory has ever been quite as steady and linear as his. Though if you think about it, his career has been the ultimate twist ending: "Hey, look, I've come out of nowhere to direct 'The Sixth Sense,' which is awesome . . . but it turns out I'm actually A THIRD-RATE HACK WHOSE PLOT TWISTS ARE COMPLETELY INCOHERENT!

But Kate Hudson? Seriously? I don't think she has any illusions about being a great actor. She is goofy like her mom, but better looking. A lot better looking. I like Twinkies and I like Kate, and I can't help myself.

Seems like in the past 3 years he's been in 3-4 movies a year...I guess it's easy when they're all pieces of crap and he's basically reciting the same lines over and over. Nnowing, Next, Wicker Man, Ghost Rider, Bangkok Dangerous, etc etc etc.<br />Sad, after some good work in Leaving Las Vegas, Wild at Heart, Moonstruck, and even The Rock.<br /><br />1.

Maybe you didn't know about that one. Pretend I never said anything.<br /><br />Excellent list, Doug. Prince tops mine for reasons that are justified and personal, but the story is way too long to list here. In sum, he's a butthole.<br /><br />I can't tolerate any Brian DePalma movie at this point because he is constantly announcing his presence throughout every film. Whether it's the goofy slow-motion scenes he always uses or the overly intrusive soundtrack, I just can't stand the guy. I think of him the same way Happy Gilmore thinks about Bob Barker.<br /><br />And Christian Bale is starting to grate on me, but he's not at that level yet...<br /><br />1.Sparta, "While Oceana Sleeps"<br />2.Zombies, "Whenever You're Ready"<br />3.Mr. Bungle, "Desert Search for Techno Allah"<br />4.Bad Religion, "Pessimistic Lines"<br />5.Dinosaur Jr., "Keep the Glove (live)"<br />6.The Halo Benders, "Lonesome Sundown"<br />7.Billie Holiday, "Gloomy Sunday"<br />8.Mötorhead, "Heart of Stone"<br />9.The Circle Jerks, "When the Shit Hits the Fan"<br />10.Wilson Pickett, "In the Midnight Hour"Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989379631083901130noreply@blogger.com
