Fun Times with Nic Cage

"I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion."

Yes, Nicolas Cage has become a bit of a sci-fi movie whore (Season of the Witch isn't helping), but he's still got some great talent. And he's so damn crazy it's hard not to like him--like Klaus Kinski.
And about his financial problems: Cage owns millions in back taxes, but blames his financial manager and is currently suing him for 20 million dollars. But the manager says Cage spent all of his money recklessly. Take a look at this list of Cage's spendings and see if you agree:
yachts, a jet, a castle (wants better one though), over 50 cars, over a million dollars' worth of comic books, multiple "haunted" mansions in New Orleans, two Bahamanian islands, $276,000 on a dinosaur skull, shrunken heads (maybe human?), $500k Lamborghini once owned by the Shah of Iran, two King Cobras and a pet octopus.

Fun Times

Why Nic Cage is still great

"There are often lists of the great living male movie stars: De Niro, Nicholson and Pacino, usually. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. No one else can project inner trembling so effectively.... He always seems so earnest. However improbable his character, he never winks at the audience. He is committed to the character with every atom and plays him as if he were him." --Roger Ebert
1) During Hurricane Katrina he donated $1 million to the Red Cross to aid victims, and $2 million to the human-rights group Amnesty International.
2)When 45 year old Robert Dennis Furo broke into Cage's home and decided to stand naked in a bathroom doorway with only Cage's leather jacket on, Cage remained calm and peacefully escorted him outside to the police.
3)Cage could've easily gotten success because he's Francis Ford Coppola's nephew, but he opted to change his name (taken from the comic book character Luke Cage). He also named his son Kal-El (Superman's real name).
Best of all, Cage's new film, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, looks great!
