The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
I have a feeling this will be the movie everybody will be talking about this time next year.

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.

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.

I just need Cage to become a hat guy or visit Maury. The hair really dominates each and every performance for me.

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.

Oh my God:

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.

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

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.
