Someone needs to get this guy with Will Smith, the user. And just see what happens.
It would be legendary.
Nicolas Cage on what he looks for in a role:
It’s true that I’m eclectic, and in order for me to stay fresh, I have to keep mixing it up. And I do enjoy the midnight audience, which is why I make movies like Bad Lieutenant and Drive Angry , but I also think one of the better ways I can apply my abilities is by making family-oriented movies. I’m one of those people — part of the reason why I’m even here tonight is that I believe world peace begins at home. And if I can, in my own little way, contribute to that, if I can keep kids smiling with their family, with their parents and vice versa, that’s one less angry child that goes out in the world and makes a mistake, like drugs or violence. And so if I can keep making happy movies for the kids, I want to keep doing that.

Nic Cage needs his own talk show.
I was thinking more of his own anime.
His own gundam-type anime.
Where the gundam is a giant robotic Nic Cage piloted by the real Nic Cage.
Nic Cage doesn’t actually use any controls for it. He just makes facial expressions and the gundam responds.
Fuck you G00dy, I read his voice in my mind.
Nicolas Cage was speaking for the anti-bullying cause 15 years ahead of everybody else.
I came on board the Superman project because I wanted to say something to children. And I know Superman appeals to all age groups, but it comes from the child’s universe. I remember what I felt like as a child in school being teased. And if there’s one kid out there who’s being called a weirdo, or a freak, or something, and he goes home, and he’s just not having a good day in his life, and his life at school is hell – if he sees Superman, and he says, ‘Well, Superman is a weirdo. He’s considered different. Maybe I’m Superman,’ that’s enough for me to feel good about making the movie. That was the vision I got from it. And I think Tim Burton is the perfect director to do that. Because he’s always been very sensitive about the outsider. Superman is a great story. It’s one of those phenomena that operates on so many different levels that still haven’t been explored. One of the things I like about Superman is the notion of nurture versus nature. Is he more Kryptonian, or is he more the Kents, his adopted parents? These are big issues that we’re thinking about now, like genetics, and scientific things of that nature. So Superman is a remarkable achievement. These two guys [Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster] were considered nerds, who were from Canada, they wore glasses, which back in the thirties was a big deal. These two guys who were oppressed, invented the alter ego concept, of being a super man. And everybody said, ‘Oh, don’t do it, it’s ridiculous.’ They knew they had gold, and they held on to it for four years. And then as soon as it came out, it was an overnight sensation. So there’s something there. And I saw it for me as an opportunity to reach a lot of kids around the world, and say something positive.

Nic Cage is indeed a true poet of our time.
Nic Cage is creeping up on GOAT status. Also, that Maximilian guy isn’t his son?
What kind of Nic Cage thread on a fighting game forum doesn’t have “I am the greatest, I am the greatest, I am the greatest, I AM THE GREATEST, I AM THE GREATEST ”?
It’s like there’s divisions of Nic Cage followers. I know there’s at least a late furry/homestuck fan wannabe division who first learnt of him for being “funny screaming not the bees man who has funny you don’t say face”.

I think the first movie I started recognizing him was Lord of War or whatever that was called.
Released in 2005, I was 15, yeah sounds about right.

Damn, I counted out the syllables hoping that was a haiku
Nicolas Cage, in his capacity as U.N. Goodwill Ambassador on Drugs and Crime, visited and interviewed imprisoned Somali pirates in Kenya during the international furor over piracy* in 2009.
(*Not the entertainment industry’s understanding of piracy. The real kind.)

Nic Cage was a hot topic on the Colbert Report last night. If it was a real situation a civil war might have started.
