    Yeah, that's the only recent one with him I watched but he didn't annoy me for a second.

    Back to where it all began.........

    Nicolas Cage
    178 Main Street
    Long Beach, CA 90745
    Home: (555)555-1234

    Dear Mr. Finklestein

    Available Immediately: High School Dropout Ready to Take career to Next Level

    As an agent, you see literally hundreds of head shots and resumes each day, each one from an aspiring actor full of hopes of stardom. I know that most of these headshots wind up directly in your trash can. Throwing my headshot into that trash can, however, would be a mistake for one simple reason. My uncle is the famed film director Francis Ford Coppola and if you choose to take that path he’ll see to it that no studio hires your talent.

    I assure you this is no veil threat and I’m not some spoiled little brat who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. From an early age I fell in love with acting and I've always enjoyed being on stage, and if you should refuse to hire me you will have destroyed my career before it even got off the ground.

    I invite you to look at my reel and meet me face to face. The summers I spent with my uncle Francis at his home in San Francisco has inspired me to act, and with the right representation I’m confident opportunities will soon follow.


    Sincerely,

    Nicolas Cage

    He just likes to act, so he'll take anything that comes his way.

    Or it may be because of financial problems, and because he named his kid after SuperMan's alien name and is a little nutty.

    But Red Rock West, Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, Face Off. Which were superb films.

    I enjoyed Kick Ass too.

    The man can act, his performance in Leaving Las Vegas can make a grown man weep.

    Dear Nicolas Cage

    Your middle name is Kim. Although you are a one trick pony, I liked you as Big Daddy in Kick Ass. I will not give up on you.

    I think the reason he did such a good job in Kick Ass was that his character was crazy as hell. IMHO he should only play insane people.

    To be fair, he's working a little hard, true, but no harder than the majority of actors. It may look like he has made three films in one year, but I bet some were made the previous year, there just getting a release date all in the same year. He's only actually stepping up his game with, maybe, an extra film a year. Probably the extra one is to cover his tax bill. Plus, it only takes 30-40 day to film most films. He could still have taken most of the year off. If he were really that desperate he'd have taken a role on a TV series, while still making films. Then you would really know he needs the money. I personally think he was screwed over and is doing his best to rectify the situation. He's only 18 months behind in his tax returns.
    Good luck Mr cage.

    dear nicholas cage,

    although I think you occasionally choose to do good movies, I think in every role you look and sound depressed. You remind me of Ross Gellar on Friends. Perhaps instead of acting classes you should try prozac.

    Please stop choosing good roles in good movies because it angers me when I have to listen to your monotone during an otherwise great movie.

    sincerely,

    your biggest anti-fan.

Fizz, i would not shag you, even if i was single or if my boyfriend was into threeormoresomes, but i'm not and i don't think he is... here is a bogus telephone number, incase you don't care and want to shag us anyway

    +01 44 208 6911650

    i quite liked some of your films (Adaptation, Face-Off and that one where you play the dying drunk... oh yes, Leaving Las Vegas) but some of them really REALLY suck... like Season of the Witch, i mean wtf????

    thank you for reading this... please have a nice day :D

    love lillally

    p.s. please can i have your toupe when you're gone?.... thanks :)

    p.p.s. i know you don't have one right now but i'm sure you will own one before you die... just saying.... and thanks again...

    As far as I'm concerned any bad movies he makes can never take away from the acting excellence that is Leaving Las Vegas. Matchstick Men was also top notch, and he had pretty good roles in Con Air, Face Off, and The Rock. I want to see Season Of The Witch, but am worried it will be like his last few movies . . . I walked out of Knowing 10 minutes into it. It's the only movie I've ever walked out of in my life.

    LOL :)

    he was weird in Kick-Ass, but i think he would've been pretty weird, had he really existed? i liked that film, but not particularly for his acting in it... it was the way he almost did the hop, skip and the jump of the orig batman, that gave it that almost subliminally familiar, marvel comic atmosphere feel type of thing... that, and the costumes and fight sequences... aaanyway... babblin'

    cage is alright... just a bit of a wanker.... :D no, i like him really... really i do... i like him in all his films, except for Season of the Witch... he is soooo quirky... you gotta love him...

    Dear Nick,
    you're alright :2thumbsup:
