Fat and Nasty 86: Nick Cage wasn't HUGE before the Rock, but then again -- when have we considered him a "super" star?

I can barely stand watching him in anything for some reason. And I have no idea why.

Is it just me?

Michael Bay rattled off that list of actors he's "made" almost as if he'd done a LOT of thinking about it.

If anyone made Ben Affleck, it was Kevin Smith. He gave him lines that we're damn near impossible to fark up.

And it's not like he "won" a screenwriting Oscar the year before Armageddon for Good Will Hunting.

I've never liked him.

Yes, if it weren't for Michael Bay, Nicolas Cage (real name: Nicolas Coppola) would never have gotten a chance in Hollywood.

He was Buttman, after all.

Two untalented, overhyped, overinflated, and overpaid individuals are saying nasty things to/about each other?

Why is this news?

"I'm in the movie, and I read the script, and I watched the movie, and I still didn't know what was happening," she says. "So I think if you haven't read the script and you go and you see it and you understand it, I think you might be a genius." She has also said that she doesn't so much act in the film as run screaming toward the camera."

So she said something kind of funny that everyone that's seen the movie would agree with. Between this and arranging to meet the kid that tried to give her a flower, she seems pretty cool in addition to being smoking hot.

Nope. Not just you. I can't stand his movies, and my soon to be father in-law doesn't like him, either.

Well if your soon to be father in law doesn't like him that's good enough for me.

Okay that's funny.

Yeah but I heard she's Bi.

"She still has some growing to do."

I don't know about that, she looks all grown up to me.

Maybe Michael Bay can put Nicholas Cage back where ever he found him from. I'd really appreciate that.

People shouldn't be having sex with biplanes, no matter what sort of kinky fetish they have. Think of the propellers. That's dangerous.

Nic Cage was amazing in Leaving Las Vegas... but now, he's a caricature of himself.

Watch her face in the movie when someone else is talking. She's in blank robot mode.

Can we get rid of Megan Fox threads until someone releases her lesbian sex tape. Maybe multiple tapes, shot in high def, with her voice muted. Somebody with more pull than me has to be able to arrange this. Thanks.

Meh, I like Nicolas Cage. He may not be a good comedy or action star, but his dramatic roles tend to be pretty great. Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Raising Arizona, Lord of War, The Weather Man, etc.

Myself, I loved both National Treasure movies. Great fun.

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?.........

Michael Bay is bitter because Megan Fox wouldn't bang him.

/at least that's what I've read on eleventy billion gossip blogs.

Michael Bay would still be a nobody if it weren't for Spielberg and Lucas. Shia not a major star before Transformers?? Uh, he did open a movie on his own. You know, Disturbia?? Bay is a piece of shiat and I would love to put a lit cigar out on his testicles.

She's from Tennessee. It'd probably be "Damn y'all!" and "Sooooo-eeeee!"

I don't think Megan Fox should be judging anyone's mental faculties.

GreenAdder: I'm only watching "Drag Me To Hell" if:
1. Sam Raimi apologizes for "Spider-Man 3".
2. It features the Grim Reaper song "See You in Hell."

1. He rips off his own Evil Dead film
2. Uses the sound system to provide cheap scares
3. Uses a failed Exorcist theme and brags about it through the end credits.

I'm a Raimi fan, but Transformers 2 is a better movie than Drag Me To Hell. A horrible, horrible disappointment.

As someone who enjoyed the first movie, I've gotta agree that Transformers 2 frankly sucked. It was long, the characters were obnoxious, the action was incomprehensible, and the plot was even dumber than I anticipated. I went in expecting a little stupid fun and was only greeted with the first part.

I guess it goes to the strength of the director under which he works. Some directors are able to get a good performance out him. Some give him enough rope and he stops being his character and starts being Nick Cage. Nick Cage is not a demon. He is a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. He wants to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion.

luidprand: //"Y'all" is perfectly acceptable second person plural, dammit

From my dealings with coworkers from Raleigh, I came to understand that "y'all" was singular, and "all y'alls" was plural.

Approves

I'm no Nic Cage fan, but the guy was in Raising Arizona and Moonstruck long before Michael Bay came along.

Affleck was already famous for co-writing "Good Will Hunting" (for which he won an Oscar and got lots of press over) before he was in any Michael Bay film. (He also was known for appearing in a couple Kevin Smith films.)

But keep on tooting your own horn there, Michael...

He didn't mention a single actor who has ever done anything worthwhile.

I saw that Early Show interview and she seemed pretty damn cool to me. Snarky as hell and not stupid at all. Seems like she knows everyone just wants to bang her and isn't into all the media bullshiat, so she doesn't care about a carefully crafted public image. She's probably set for life already anyway.

Some sarcastic stuff she said:
Any guy she goes out with has to have a tattoo, or get one.. of her.
LeDoof said kissing her was like kissing a unicorn, but she would rather he said a woodland nymph faerie.
And the "I think you might be a genius" line was a great back-handed compliment on that stupid movie.

Fat and Nasty 86: Sounds like she gets paid upfront with zero royalties. And as far as Bay's arrogant comments, well, he's an idiot for suggesting he launched Will Smith into stardom. Nick Cage wasn't HUGE before the Rock, but then again -- when have we considered him a "super" star?

Wasn't he nominated for an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas...before he did The Rock? Who made who? Had Cage and Connery not been in The Rock, would anyone have seen it?

Im pretty sure Nic won an oscar for leaving las vegas before he was in the rock.

/maybe nic cage can math his way out of this
//maybe i can watch the oscars and discover people

Oh and Michael Bay...

"I'd take pleasure in guttin you...Boy."

before I forget: Nic Cage was amazing in Leaving Las Vegas... but now, he's a caricature of himself.

He was better in Adaptation. It changed my mind about him as an actor. It is one of the greatest acting performances of all-time. (imo)

Ben Affleck had a good career started, then he met Michael Bay. Bay made him into just another overblown action star, pouring out dreck, like Nicholas Cage.

Now he's nothing more than that guy who was with that chick with the big ass. Hey, Jennifer had two big asses!

/I just kill me.

Every time I read something that is supposed to prove Megan Fox is an idiot, it instead seems to indicate she has some brains and they include self-depreciating humour.

What she lacks is the capacity to keep her mouth shut and promote projects according to the script.

I'm pretty much OK with that, but I can't forgive the fact that she doesn't drop by my house for some action once in a while. I'm also not 100% into the tats.

/Tits yes, tats no.

Cage wins Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas - early 1996, as Leaving Las Vegas was a 1995 release.

Cage cast in The Rock - 1996.

So Bay is definitely taking credit for "making" someone who already won an Oscar, BESIDES Affleck.

Is it just me, or has Nicholas Cage always looked 35 years old?

I have no idea how old he is, but in any picture or movie I've seen him in ever, he looks about 35. 2008 red carpet pictures, 1980 movie set pictures, it doesn't matter. 35.

I was not aware Michael Bay directed "Raising Arizona."

Nem Wan: Transformers: Rehash of the FX is at a toilet plunging 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Drag Me to Hell, whose trailer looks lame as hell, is at a surprising, guess-I-should-see-it 93%

Yeah, it's trailer is horrid, but it's the director of Evil Dead doing horror. You know, even if it is cheesy and horrible, it will be entertaining as hell.

The trailer to Donnie Darko was shiat, but it was a good, though fantastically overrated, movie. The trailer made it look like a slasher flick where the killer wore a bunny suit.

Shrugging Atlas: I was not aware Michael Bay directed "Raising Arizona."

Best movie Nick Cage has ever done. If you hate Nick Cage, watch that movie. He's great in it and the movie is awesome.

He's been in so much crap lately, I don't know why. I liked him in the Rock, hell I even licked Face Off. Raising Arizona he was good. Really he's much better at comedy roles but keeps trying to be an action/suspense star.

Reminds me of Wesley Snipes, actually. Brilliant in Major League, but later decided he wouldn't do any film where he didn't get to show off his martial arts.

THUMBS

That is all.

So.

I'd fark Bay before I'd fark that dumb attention whore.
At least after, you could talk about car chases and explosions.

if i were her, i would be pissed off, too. everything that is wrong with TF2 can be directly laid on Bay's doorstep. what a crap director.
the one piece of acting Fox actually got to do (hiding from the robots, terrified of getting found) is instantly made ridiculous because in the very next scene she's back to that remote "hey, i am just a tourist in the wrong place" look.
this is not the actors fault, but the fault of a crappy director with absolutely no vision.

I mean at least shoot the scene, then cut it out, but still leak the pictures.

Disagree. Hot chicks are a dime a dozen in lalaland and he gave her the break. Even without that, and despite Bay being a douche himself it's simply poor form to trash the people you're working with. Also, she seems to have forgotten that her universally panned 'performance' is certainly part of the problem. Look, I don't care who asked you to the prom... if you say 'yes' then you at least have to be courteous to your date, even if you're not in love. She's the flavor of the month now, but I predict her actions only two weeks into this film will come back to haunt her in the future. Moviemaking is a crapshoot already - the last thing a casting person needs is any doubt that their choices will stand by the product.

Having seen Transformers 2 in IMAX (I relish being part of the problem) I have some obvious observations.
1. It's a Michael Bay movie so you have some genuinely sweet moments and then the rest of the movie reminds you it's a Michael Bay movie.
2. Exempted: the movie which is pretty much a Director of Photography/Stalker's love letter/oath of fealty to Megan Fox. And plenty of it is her running in slow motion.

Is it the wisest use of $12 gas? no, that might be a share of GE or maybe Nordstroms. But in its own way it's worth it, and a lot of that has to do with Megan Fox and the DP.

Drag me to hell is leaps and bounds ahead of Transformers 2 which is a bad sequel of a horrible movie.

She won't be in Transformers 3: Rise of the Dinobots

God I really don't want to be this guy...

but I think he's actually right. Kind of. The Cage thing is out to lunch, but I do agree with the Shia/Smith/Affleck thing. Not that he made them in that before they were unknown, but he "made" them in the sense that now they had bankability and name and face recognition they didn't before.

Seriously, just hear me out.

Smith had a couple albums, and a successful TV role. But before he did Bad Boys his movie roles were small. That's not indicative of quality, but just the role themselves. But when he did Bad Boys between seasons of Fresh Prince he did get huge. That movie is what made him go from "TV star" to "Movie Star"

Shia is similar. Lots of minor roles (in mostly bad movies) and a TV series. Sure, he did star in Disturbia, but it's not like that movie was sold on his name. He was in it, he was the main role, but I would be hesitant to call him the star. Transformers (And Indy 4) and people know him.

Affleck is a little different. Sure he won an Oscar, but that doesn't mean that people knew who he was. Very few people were wanting to "check out that new Ben Affleck movie" in 1997. Armageddon made him a big name, which made him a star.

Again, being popular and being good are completely different things, so please don't tell me how good Affleck was in GWH.

Although one could also argue then that it is directly Micheal Bay's fault for Eagle Eye, Wild Wild West, and Reindeer Games.

Also Bad Boys I was a modest hit, it wasn't genre defining. It might have got Will Smith the ID4 gig, but the string of ID4, Men In Black, and Enemy of the State are what made him into the box office draw he is.

/I would rather give anyone, except perhaps Uwe Boll, credit before Roland Emmerich, but Bad Boys was at best a rung in the ladder.

//The Nicolas Cage thing is just insane.

Trainspotr: Yeah, Nick Cage was doing okay better before Michael Bay ever met him.

Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did 'Transformers' -- and then he exploded

yea.....thanks!

Based on her current career trajectory she'll be dying of a heroin overdose in her West Hollywood studio apartment in six years so I'll go easy on her. Just get back on your knees and get back to doing what got you the job in the first place sister.

I'm sorry but if you didn't enjoy The Rock you might as well just give up now, nothing is ever going to make you happy.

I used to think Megan Fox was just another vapid actress, but I got to admit she is pretty funny.

Infinite Finite: I used to think Megan Fox was just another vapid actress, but I got to admit she is pretty funny.

She's amazingly grounded, is what I see. She knows she's pretty, and that this is why she's getting roles, and that this doesn't mean she's now suddenly an "artiste" who should be respected for her "work".

/almost said "body of work", but I'm pretty sure that's what she IS respected for.
//Well, saluted, anyway.

Guntram Shatterhand: 1. He rips off his own Evil Dead film

I would be curious to know how exactly an artist "rips off" one's own creation and style.

When Jackson Pollack made Lavender Mist was he "ripping off" Jackson Pollack's Summertime: Number 9A?

That's a phrase people use for an artist who cannot move beyond their earlier inventions and statements. I think it was used correctly here.

Wow this guy is really farking stupid.

/just dropped by to say that

Yo, Affleck was DA BOMB in Phantoms.

zarberg: Greatest "review" of Transformers 2 ever. (new window)

Hilarious. It also makes it apparent the writers cranked this one out in a crack and mountain dew fueled weekend.

I guess I'm somewhat amused by the sentiment of "I went to see a Sam Rami campy horror film and much to my dismay I got a Sam Raimi campy horror film".

It reminds me of the type of people who go see Dylan in concert and complain that he sang off key.

Thought I'd drop in to say that I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got.

That was awesomesauce.

VaportrailFilms: Bad Boys 1 is what did it, believe it or not. Before that he was just the Fresh Prince.
It's not arrogance. It's what actually happened. Give the man some credit.

How he SAYS it is a little arrogant...

Yup. Just Fresh Prince... star of a sitcom that every person from the age of 20-35 can recite the opening credits for by heart.

But totally it was Michael Bay's movie that made his career, not the most excessively syndicated sitcom in the early '90s.

Hyperbolic Hyperbole: id scissor megan fox

Throw in some explosions, jump cuts, and fighting robots, and you could probably convince Bay to make that movie. Although it'd be like 10 seconds of scissoring and 90 minutes of MICHAELBAYSPOSIONS!!!!!

bobojorge: Hilarious. It also makes it apparent the writers cranked this one out in a crack and mountain dew fueled weekend.

It was like an impromptu RPG session of a plot, you know where you have stuff planned and the players do something in the first 5 minutes to completely throw that plan out.

Here's an "extended" version (ignore the video) which includes the line I was refering to....i guess some things are obscure on fark.

Michael Bay is actually right on all counts....


He cast a pretty-much unknown Ben Affleck in ARMAGEDDON before GOOD WILL HUNTING came out in theaters (just as Spielberg cast pretty much-unknown Matt Damon in PRIVATE RYAN). Will Smith was not that huge when he was cast in BAD BOYS (this was a year or two before INDEPENDENCE DAY & MIB). THE ROCK was Nic Cage's first big action movie...
