I'm mostly waiting for his film with Sion Sono.

I have a feeling this will be the movie everybody will be talking about this time next year.

Here we go:

I’ll be waiting for this. I watched his three latest films from this year all in a row a few weekends ago and he was entertaining in all three, but Pig was his best and quite possibly one of the best films of the year. I am not kidding here.

Re: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
 

I just saw Pig a few days ago and yeah, really affecting film. Cage has always been interesting, and obviously frequently ridiculous, but there's real talent there, too. No one quite like him.

Anyway, kinda looking forward to this, though I suspect it's a little too self-aware to be great and will probably be more silly than profound, even though on paper it should/could have the potential to be both.

Finally a thread I can relate to!

I'll show myself out.... ;)

Re: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
 

I think this looks a lot of fun, love the wall bit at the end.

I'll spend $20 for a digital download of this.

Looks like it could be a good comedy. Glad to see Cage back on track. I'd about closed the door on him after Pig.

When I went to see West Side Story, there was a preview of this movie...it looks really interesting.

Saw this earlier, found it extremely wanting. Definitely amused at a) how old this thread is and b) that any of us ever thought this had the potential to be an Oscar contender just because it had some superficial similarities to Birdman.

Re: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
 

Interesting/surprising, friend of mine thought it was great, though I don't have a great sense of his tastes.

Re: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
 

It shouldn't be too surprising. There was always going to be a decent chance that it would settle for coasting on Cage's status as a living meme at the expense of all other considerations (and the Adaptation comparisons are unavoidable, especially since this film is much more up-front about how it's aware that it's ditching character-driven drama for thrills and excitement).

I am 00:45:56 through a 1:46:51 runtime and I'm loving this. It is all so ridiculous! I'm actually now considering watching Paddington 2. On LSD.

Can’t wait to see this. Nic cage is always awesome
