1 Worst?

2 everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful.

"The Rock" didn't suck that badly.

3 Nor did Raising Arizona.

4 Knight and Day was corny, but I had a great time watching it.

Nicolas Cage indeed is an indicator of crap.

5 Nic Cage is George Washington in.... Knowing Martha

6 but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful.

I'll grant you that he's been in some real stinkers, but give Red Rock West a try.

7 Ahhh..Leonardo Dicaprio can go ahead and eat the corn outta my shit....

8 Nicholas Cage is awesome but only I seem to see this. I like him because of this, I think: He's a strange guy, right? Odd affect. Looks a little strange. A lot of heroes have some "dark" aspect built into their character. Even though the hero himself is nearly 100% good, they toss in some writerly flaw in the mix, so he's not to good to be true, right> Well, I think Cage is an odd enough fellow that they figure they've already got that built in, as performance, so they write his characters perfectly straight-arrow and perfectly good. (With regard to his good guy roles, of course.) There are a whole number of Nicholas Cage movies I appreciate I think just because the character he's playing is so upright and affable. Including, yes, The Wicker Man.

9 I have to do that AoSHQ movie Club post.. I am late on it.

10

but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful

Really? Not even Peggy Sue Got Married? I had a really boss coiffure in that flick.

11 ace ? .... Must have snuck a nap .

12

I have had friends (women) who've adored Nicholas Cage.  I really liked Vampire's Kiss; I think it's hilarious.  I liked him in Valley Girl; I liked his weirdo turn in Peggy Sue ( I thought his aching to be Fabian was much fun). And....I can't think of anything else off hand.  I loathed Leaving Las Vegas....I was watching my watch and hoping he'd die soon so I could go home without ditching my co-watcher.

 

 

13 Adaptation with Cage was an excellent movie.

14 with an awesome cast.

I thought Leo DiCaprio was in the movie, trying to play an adult?

15 I liked Cage in Lord of War, then again I like any shoot em up movies since I am usually regulated to cartoons with the youngins.

My wife loved Cage in Moonstruck.

16 but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful


Check out Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. One of the best I've seen in a while. 

17 I loved National Treasure and maybe if I've been drinking I'll watch the Rock, but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful.

I don't know, I liked "Knowing". But Nat Treasure 2 was a big letdown, but I thought it was the plot that sucked, not Cage.

18 Dude, did you guys even see "Valley Girl"?

19 I like Cage. He made knowing somewhat bearable. Too bad he didn't play Annikin Skywalker. That would have been funny.

20 I also like that Motorcycle flick with the chains and fire.

21 Gabe's just wrong about Nick Cage, I think we can leave it at that.  Can't remember the one where Cage is a con man and ends up with a teenage daughter.  I liked that one a lot.

Going to see The Last Airbender this eve with the kids.  People who hate M. Night Shamalamdingdong movies can bite me too. 

22 Raising Arizona....liked it.

My daughter saw Inception this weekend too.  She hated the ending...whatever that means.

23 I can't remember the name of it but I liked Cage in the, oh I remembered. Con Air.

24 I'm not in the demographic for Sorceror's Apprentice but I will be seeing Season of the Witch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLoKm_vUsFY It's been delayed, though, which is usually not a good sign. I guess it could be a good sign if they figured it could score big money in the summer, but usually it's not a good sign.

25 Okay so if you're a fraidy cat with scary movies (which I know this is more of mental thriller rather than the traditional 'scary movie'), is Inception a good idea? I've heard a few people say they were nervous to go to sleep after watching it.  

26 27 if I had to sit and watch decaprio for 2 hours I wouldn't be able to sleep.

27 I won't go see Inception, but I just want to know: Does the ship sink?

28 I liked Con Air as well.

29

Michelle Obama in her first role.  I think she got an Emmy for this one. 

30 I don't know what it is, Cage is terrible, granted.  A lot(most even) of the movies he is in are really bad as well.  However, I am more likely to sit through a bad movie if Cage is in it because he amuses me.

31 I couldn't sleep after "Bangkok Dangerous". I really wanted my 2 hours back. The things I'll do to score some theater titty grabs.

32 The ultra-hyped movie this year that I thought stunk was Hangover.

33 Valley Girl and the awewome Face/Off

34

Hangover sucked? 

What Do Tigers Dream Of evoked a young Marvin Hamlisch ("and who the fuck is Marvin Hamlisch!")

35 He was good before he ran out of money and had to take any role that came his way. He blows now because he doesn't care about these parts: he's doing solely for the paycheck (moreso than most actors). If he could pick and choose and get invested a little in the character/story then it'd be different. But he doesn't so there you go. Or he just blows.

36 Sorceror's Apprentice was a cookie-cutter ho-hum no surprises waste of time.  If you've seen any similar movies in the last decade, you've seen it all.

I kept wondering what a movie like that would have been in the hands of someone like Stephen Chow, and that really drove home how dull and banal it was.

And the title?  Let's just say it stems from a famous sequence from another Disney film, that was re-used for no reason whatsoever.

37

Con Air: good

Rock: Awsome, but not cuz of him

weepy girl typy movie actor, but passable.

But last few his old age has not been kind at all

At least Bruce willis embraced the bald like a man

38 Nick Cage is an odd bird, no doubt, and his range isn't particularly impressive, but given the right role and the right script, he can be pretty damned entertaining.

It will be a whole lotta' years before the impression of Raising Arizona wears off.

Yeah. It's been a while. But that movie was an example of what he can do.

Now, I suspect, he takes any job that will pay the bills (or, almost pay the bills).

39 "I loved National Treasure and maybe if I've been drinking I'll watch the Rock, but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful."

Uh, no.  Raising Arizona was excellent.  As was Adaptation.  Con Air isn't high art, but as an actioner, it's a lot of fun.  Moonstruck was pretty good, and so was Red Rock West.

Of course, if you don't like the star of a movie, you're not going to like it even if it's good.  If you can't stand Pacino and Brando, even The Godfather comes across as an insufferable mess.  But that don't make it so...

40 20 Dude, did you guys even see "Valley Girl"?

Beat me to it. Valley Girl is pure 80's fun and Deborah Foreman hot and you get to see Elizabeth Daly's tits.

As for Leonardo DiDogfuck, I agree with the commenter who said that he can eat the corn nuggets from my shit.  The only thing I want to see him in is as the middle segment of a human centipede.

41

 

42 Let's just agree he should be glad he's a Coppola.

43 young Marvin Hamlisch ("and who the fuck is Marvin Hamlisch!")

Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at July 18, 2010 07:09 PM (DPM1U)

Hah. Role Models FTW!  Minotaur!!!!

 

44 Valley Girl is pure 80's fun and Deborah Foreman hot and you get to see Elizabeth Daly's tits.

THIS ^^^^^^ should be the blurb on the fucking DVD.

45 red rock west is one of my favorites, I own it. Con Air is one of those movies that fascinates me strangely; not really great, and yet I watch it and watch it.

46 Inception is good, but over-rated. (No surprise: These days every new movie seems to be the BEST or WORST movie ever.) It's not really that original, though: It's essentially a caper flick with some really convoluted settings and inconsistent physics.

47 He was in Wild at Heart, I think. I don't recall it sucking really badly.

48 #45 Is he? I had no idea. That didn't turn out all that well for Sophie though. (Or whatever her name is)

49 National Treasure? Seriously? The entire movie was one big macguffin rodeo. Every scene, someone makes a suggestion about where the next item is. Then Nic Cage thinks for about five seconds and says, "No! It's over there!" They go to the place he says and Shazam! There it is! Wash, rinse, repeat.

50 Wait, Gabriel, you're not the guy who said Avatar was a must-see, gotta-hit-the-theatre, moron-friendly, best film ever, were you?  Because Avatar is terrible.  I am cautious about Inception now.

51 And Oliver Stone's Chavez blowjob-fest makes a whopping $111,000 its three weeks from its seven theatres.

Other than that, Mrs Stone, how did you enjoy the play?

52

Nic Cage was also in the awesome Fast Times at RIdgemont High (although I don't recall if he had a speaking role).

'When it comes down to making out, whever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV."

53 I saw Inception and thought it was great.  Very taut, intense, and it keeps you questioning even after you leave the theater.

54

They've got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called "recidivism."

The hotel with the bad gravity is awesome.

55 Oh, and no-one liked "Kick-Ass"? Nic Cage doing Adam West?

56 Actually, BeckoningChasm, I said Avatar was "entertaining. Not outstanding, not great, but definitely entertaining."

http://minx.cc/?post=296066

Don't really know why you think otherwise.

57 The Rock blows, although Cage is good in it. Con Air is the better of the pair. Moonstruck is good. Raising Arizona is nearly perfect and his best ever performance. Honeymoon in Vegas is fun. Leaving Las Vegas was painful, but good. Kick-Ass was fun. What else (wikipedia check). Ah, Adaptation was very good. Snake Eyes was decent. Ghost Rider sucked. Matchstick Men was decent. The National Treasure movies are passable. I think he's a pretty good actor all told. Not a huge, huge range but can reliable deliver a decent performance -- and occasionally deliver a great performance. At this stage he's aging a bit poorly looks-wise and relying on his odd-dude schtick. He got fat for adaptation and then slimmed down -- probably not a wise move since it made him permanently uglier. And I am amazed how bad some of his wigs are. I thought wig-tech was more advanced than apparently it is.

58 Honeymoon in Vegas has some great moments. "A straight flush is, like, unbeatable!" -- "Like unbeatable is not unbeatable!" "I know that NOW!" or: "You brought me to Vegas and made me a whore!" or: "The Five Pools are HERE?!?!"

59

 Is he? I had no idea. That didn't turn out all that well for Sophie though.

Nic Cage was also in the awesome Fast Times at RIdgemont High (although I don't recall if he had a speaking role).

He was Nicholas Coppola in "Fast Times". He was one of the three dudes that came into All-American Burger and took their shirts off. Anthony Edwards, Spicoli Penn, and Nicholas. No talking except for "No shoes, no shirts, no DICE!" He did that so well, you just knew he was going to be a star.

Changed his name after that one. Didn't want to get jobs he didn't deserve, don't you know.

60 He got lucky with Raising Arizona and it set him up forever.  Everything else he's done that I liked could have been done as well or better by lots of actors.    He's got very limited range [he plays dumb but pleasant pretty well] and is only an average actor.

61

DiCapriio was good in "Shutter Island", but it was probably more due to Martin Scorcese, than DiCaprio.

 

DiCaprio; now there's schmuck for the ages.

 

Cage is okay.  Again, some roles he's good in. The Coen Brothers,  and the whole cast made "Raising Arizona" really good

62 New thread!  We demand a new thread!

63

I was going to say something critical about this, but mom told me that if I didn't have anything positive to say, I shouldn't say anything at all. 

Mom was wrong a lot.

Critics suck.

64 I liked kick-ass but did wonder, when I saw it, who the intended audience was. Like, I guess, me, and the 1% of the male population which is almost exactly like me.

65

I know guys (and some chicks) dig movies where shit gets blow'd up.

But Face/Off? Seriously? That has to be one of the worst over-the-top poorly acted movie roles (esp. Cage) of all time.

66 I liked "Inception" better when it had the titles "Dreamscape" and "Dark City".

67 I don't think the problem in Face/Off was Cage's acting. Sometimes directors tell him to do that, you know. And John Woo really showed himself as a one-trick pony with that. Script was lame, stupid fucking doves again, etc. Oddly, everyone seemed to like it, and I, as Nick Cage (and travolta) fan and action-movie butt AND John Woo buff hated the shit out of it.

68

OK, I really liked The Rock. Pissed me off that Michael Biehn, one of my favorite actors, got smoked early, but Ed Harris is also one of my favorites. Throw in Connery and Cage? Fucking epic win for me.

Con Air was a ridiculous premise (though a guy from 20th SFG got locked up the same way years ago, killed a guy in a bar fight in Ocean City) , still liked it. Then again it threw in elements of Grosse Pointe Blank with Cusack. I would hate John Cusack in real life because he's a left-wing piece of shit, but I liked his character.

Lord of War was one of my all-time favorite movies, again, because I am a sick warmongering fucktard.

And I love the National Treasure movies. I like a little blind love of country now and then. The climax of the first one will legitimately choke me up despite having seen it fifteen times. The second one, my wife will pause it and use Diane Kruger's relationship arguments on me. It's a real couple's film series for us. I'm waiting for #3. 

I'll probably go see Sorceror's Apprentice just to support Nic Cage because he needs a few bucks.

69 Francis Ford Coppola and nothing else is why I even know this guy's name.

70 A Cage/Shatner musical will get him out of this slump.

71 Lacey-- You're right but it's the whole over-the-top-ness that makes "Face Off" work (for those who do like it). It's a completely insane, '50s-sci-fi throwback as far as the plot goes and it's all scenery chewing madness after. If you can't embrace the insanity, well, then it's just stupid.

72 You know Cage collects shrunken heads to so you've got to like that about him.

73 "Is this movie in 3d?" "No, but your face is!" One of the best movie comebacks ever. Second only to Baldwin's in Glengarry Glenross.

74

Ummm...

(pssst. possible new post. I skipped to the second clip. he had to repeat unemployment rate 3xs. I *think* he was doing it for dramatic effect. honestly, it could have been worse. it really could have. then again, we only have a few minutes here.)

75

Probably already been mentioned, but Con Air and Matchstick Men were pretty good.

I even enjoyed Gone in 60 Seconds.

Anyone remember 8mm? 

I don't mind Cage.

76 Cage was good in "Matchstick Men", and it was a good flick--playing a Whack Job in L.A. was good casting

"Raising Arizona" was also good

77 72 I liked "Inception" better when it had the titles "Dreamscape" and "Dark City".

Now, Dreamscape, that was a fucking awesome move.  Dennis Quaid, Max von Sydow, Christopher Plummer.  Eddie "Green Acres" Albert as the president.  That "Warriors, come out and play" guy as the villain.  I'd rather watch Dreamscape for the 1000th time than some Leonardo DiScatfetish piece of crap.

78 Amos and Andrew had its moments.

79

Speaking of sets that are on huge rotating gimbals, I should recommend Zathura.  It's a kid's movie, but it's enjoyable, and has a 1950s vibe to it.

80 And apparently I'm the only broad here, so I'll go with Moonstuck as my favorite Cage flick.

81

I remember 8mm.  Very bleak and depressing.

82  I'm with you on Lord of War, Sgt. Dan.

I really like the dissolute arms peddler/zero moral compass/involved with completely, absolutely, barking at the moon nutcase dictators angle.  Plus, Cage's wife is smoking hot in that one.

Posted by: Wodeshed at July 18, 2010 07:34 PM (MFbfZ)

Forgot about that one.  Decent as well.

83 Anyone who's touched Patricia Arquette's nether regions is OK by me. That's probably only about 100 or so dudes.

Yeah, big time.  A young Joaquin Phoenix was in it.

88 I liked "Inception" better when it had the titles "Dreamscape" and "Dark City".

Obviously written by someone who either hasn't seen Inception or hasn't seen Dreamscape and Dark City.

89 garrett-- Any movies or Nic Cage movies?

90 I just watched a movie and it was a porno. There, I said it.

91 LOL, Matchstick Man is on right now on UNIHD.

92 Inception absolutely sucked. Rex Reed nailed it at the New York Observer; so did Andrew O'Hehir at Salon. (Honest, I only read them for the movie reviews.) Over at the PJM forum they're slamming it, too.

It's a pointless mind-fuck that "explores" the topic of dreams vs. reality to a depth of approximately one millimeter. The stakes are zilch, same for the emotional hook, the characters are constantly explaining the plot to each other, the music amps up nothing, the ice fight scene has no progress, the dream content are unimaginative, the rules are random, and you've seen this movie before when it was Sphere.

Your observations are what made him great in Gladiator.

 

95

He was Nicholas Coppola in "Fast Times". He was one of the three dudes that came into All-American Burger and took their shirts off. Anthony Edwards, Spicoli Penn, and Nicholas. No talking except for "No shoes, no shirts, no DICE!"

Sorry to nitpick, but he wasn't in the stoner clique--he was one of Brad's buddies and worked at All-American Burger (you see him briefly when Brad's getting chewed out right before he's fired).  You might be thinking of Eric Stoltz, who was in the clique with Spicoli and Anthony Edwards.

He's only in a couple of scenes beside the restaurant, and if you blink, you miss him--the first day of school, when he does the low-five slap with Brad after Brad brags about getting ready to pay the car off; in the gym when Brad's geeky friend begs for a job at All-American Burger; and at the football game, clapping in the stands.

/have seen that movie way too many times.

Has Peter North won an Oscar yet?

97 Big Hollywood has a couple of reviews of Inception, too. (The second, full review is linked at the first one. And I didn't read the comments, but they may include spoilers.)

98 Movies are a fad.  Radio's where it's at.

99 Nic Cage was also in the awesome Fast Times at RIdgemont High (although I don't recall if he had a speaking role).

Yeah, it was a max screen time of about 45 seconds.  He did get a lo-five hand slap with Judge Reinhold.  (One of my fave high school movies, btw).

I may duck & run mentioning this, but I liked him in It Could Happen to You.  Sappy and no range as an actor.  But I do like it.  Cage is a very quirky individual.  He may not threaten the likes of Sir Olivier or the like...but I like him.

Inception.  Ugh.  I don't know if I can ever bring myself to watch another Leo DiDouchebag movie again.  I love Ellen Page though.  Hard Candy baby!

Pretty much any movie. 

I like enough of them, to be sure, but not enough to watch more than 20-30 minutes before I wish I was doing anything else.

I just find it interesting to see so many who are obviouskly huge fans.  Most fans I know are Screenwriters or Cinematographers.

Meh.  I'll wait for it to come out on Kindle.

That was Boner.

(and not to make a suicide joke, but I have to wonder if the fact that people only know him as Boner contributed to his downfall. poor guy.)

Damn, my bad. I should've known it was Rocky Dennis. Between Stolz and Nicholas, I knew it had to be a weird looking dude.

113 >>>>Any movies or Nic Cage movies? >>I would take a *wild guess* here but I think you need to qualify that question with specific porn genres. Any porn movies or Nic Cage porn movies?

114 DiCaprio's round Charlie Brown noggin distracts me from what he's supposed to be doing.  I liked him as the retarded kid in Gilbert Grape; I liked him a lot in This Boy's Life, or whatever it was.  But as an adult actor, his nog distracts me.  It's like he got tall, but his cranium got broad, and i can't see the appeal.

115 DiCaprio;s best scene ever in a movie?

As a stiff cold corpse sinking down in the black icy North Atlantic after the Titanic sank in that god-awful movie. I could watch that scene over and over and over...

Along with the booby shot scene with Kate what's-her-face...She has NOICE knockers.

I did like DiCaprio in The Aviator and in Shutter Island. But nothing else really.

I liked Kick Ass, thought it was awesome, but that movie was way more about the younger actors than Cage, his character was kinda filler IMNSHO.

Other than that, I think Cage pretty much blows like a cheap hooker in Vegas on a busy Friday night.

There's 3 actors that pretty much turn me away from a movie:
Keanu Reeves
Kevin Costner
Nicolas Cage

116

Boner off'd himself?

Wow. - I.did.not.know.that.

I wonder if he 'beat himself' to death.

117 Nobody bats 1000. A lot has to do with the Writer, Producer, and Director.

National Treasure was a sneaky American History lesson.

118 Oh wait...I did like Gangs of New York too. DiCrapio was OK in that one.

119

People really like movies this much?

I don't get it.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I rarely go to the theaters anymore. I occasionally rent or download one, but it's almost always something older/classic. Then again, I don't watch much TV either. Marshall McLuhan would have considered me a freak, which is fine by me.

120 Garrett-- Ah. 's cool. I can watch some movies over and over again. 1943's Heaven Can Wait...The aforementioned Raising Arizona. Not like that with TV, though, oddly.

Why yes, my mother's in it.

123 I'm going to second - third - whatever Red Rock West.  Lots of fun, how could it not be with Dennis Hopper, Lara Flynn Boyle and J.T. Walsh?  It was produced by David Lynch's company, but I don't know if he had a hand in it.  Doesn't seem weird enough.

Anyway, Cage's typical acting style works really well here in this "fish out of water" story of a painfully honest drifter wandering into a contract hit.

BTW, he was pretty good in Cotton Club too, as Richard Gere's younger brother.  Even Richard Gere was good in that one.

124
Over 100 posts and no love for Wild At Heart? Cage wears Brando's snakeskin jacket from the Fugitive Kind and gets to bang Laura Dern. With Diane Ladd and an over the top Willem Dafoe. Dafoe's scene with Dern is classic Lynch psycho sexual weirdness, with a cherry on top.

130 Speaking of movies, Manhunter, the first movie with Hannibal Lecter as a character and with William Peterson as the FBI agent, is about to start on TCM.  It is a really good movie.

I'm a lifelong movie buff, and I don't go to the theater very often either.  There just haven't been very many releases that I wanted to spend the time and money on. 

136 Oops, not TCM.  It's on IFC.

People kick the chair and yak and talk on the phone. 

Yep, rarely go now. Had the cops called on me once. Couldn't let the chatting fucknut next to me get away with it for the entire movie.

139 There's 3 actors that pretty much turn me away from a movie:
Keanu Reeves
Kevin Costner
Nicolas Cage

Don't forget Matt Damon

...Tom Cruise isn't among my favorites either, but I went with the family to see Knight and Day starring him and Cameron Diaz..

It was pretty fucking good

140 I don't know what block italics are.

When I highlight more than one line of a post by someone else after I've copied and pasted it into the comment box, and then click the italics button looks like it converts, but it ends up posting as standard text. It's a pain in the ass, because it looks like my entire post was attributed to me.

141

I get up at 5:30am these days just to watch the 'Tour' live.  That I can watch for 3-4 hours.  Sports, no problem...

I tried to watch 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' last night and I couldn't do it.  I LOVE that movie...just couldn't hang in there.

 

142 I can't even say I N'flix anymore. My dvd player broker about a year ago and I've yet to replace it. Can't say I feel I missed anything. I'm not really into things that go boom or special effects. That leaves a great plot and even better script. Which means I'm usually out of luck.

Took my youngest daughter to Toy Story 3 yesterday, matinee show.  Spent $8 on 2 tickets and $15 on lg popcorn and 2 lg drinks, saving $0.75 because it was a packaged combo.

Daughter, the math whiz, calculated it would cost $70+ to take the entire de Monet clan.

She now understands better why drinks and popcorn at the movie theatre are an occasional treat and why Dad so encourages sharing.

163

>>I like enough of them, to be sure, but not enough to watch more than 20-30 minutes before I wish I was doing anything else.

Yeh, I don't have the attention span to enjoy most movies.

Went to the theater last week for the first time in about 10 years.

It didn't do much for me. $30 (for three people) to see the 2-D version of Toy Story 3. The theater was tiny and the back rows were crowded, so we were close enough that I had to look up the whole time.

Plus, the movie was hard on the emotions of a tired and sick mom. All about growing up and going away and shit.

164 "Conservatives hate Leo because he preaches green lies and drives a non-production truck that drinks seven gallons to the mile?"

Ahhhh, they think he is a hypocrite. Hmmmm.

Gores the same type of hypocrite, eh?

165

Gator, what did you do?

Not proud of it, but I scared the bejeezus out of a couple of twenty something douchenozzles. Can't let that happen anymore. But, the cop was cool and everyone in the theater backed me up after they said I hit them. They were escorted out and I watched the rest of the movie. A lot of people clapped when I came back in after my interrogation and they walked those two eight year olds out.

I kid. I kid. They were walked out, though. Felt good.

166

Oh I will be seeing Ramona and Beezus with my niece. She's at the age where she's reading Clearly so that's fun and I have to say I'm looking forward to that.

That reminds me of the last movie I probably saw in the theater--Kit Kittredge-An American Girl. She got a good look at what the Depression was like and it took place in Cincinnati that was neat (we obviously don't get  a lot of movies about our little city!) . Although as always, the books are better.

167 I went to see the Branagh Hamlet; not an easy watch: my hub conked right out and missed the whole thing.  There were lots of teenagers there and I figured it was probably an English class assignment.  Rows of acting out youths, no interest in that flick whatsoever.  The lady in front of me shoooooooshed for a solid hour before she went up and had them ix'nayed.  I was sorry I didn't have the nerve.

168

OT:  More hypocrisy... they really don't think they are of the people.

Before Obama picked him to be our new Medicare czar, Berwick was the chief executive officer of an outfit he founded called the Institute for Health Care Improvement (IHI). IHI bills itself as a nonprofit charity, but it seems to do an awful lot of work on behalf of for-profit entities. As CEO of this enterprise, Dr. Berwick earned a cool $2.3 million in 2008. But, more to the point, IHI will provide him with private health care coverage during his declining years: “The Institute created a postretirement health benefit plan for its chief executive officer (CEO). It provides the CEO and his spouse medical insurance from retirement until death.”

You really don't want to start making a list do you? Obama just had his frigging dog flown to his vacation spot on a seperate G V. I think you can put most liberals in the hypocrite class.

172

I used to love going to the movies but its usually not so fun anymore and it can be an expensive mistake if you accidentally pick a dud.

When I was a teenager in the 80's we had the Liberty Theater.  Friday night was first run double feature for 99 cents night.  That place must've made money like crazy because it was always full.

173 Stop what you're doing right now and go watch this video.  I give you the infomercial for the gathering of the Juggalos.  Now if we only knew how magnets worked, yo? http://tinyurl.com/2w3d5fs

174

Lived in LA for twenty years, and the closest theater was Magic Johnson's on MLK, Jr. Blvd. in South Central. If I wanted to hear people scream and jump around and bootleg the movie, I would go there.

I denounce myself.

175 Nicholas Cage apparently sorts the scripts his agent sends him into three piles.  There are the great scripts, there are the horrible scripts, and there are the ordinary so-so scripts nobody will remember.  He throws out the last pile then agrees to the others.  When he's in a movie it will be either awesome or putrid, but you'll remember it to the end of your days either way.

176 "Conservatives hate Leo because he preaches green lies and drives a non-production truck that drinks seven gallons to the mile?"

"I think you can put most liberals in the hypocrite class."

I hate them libs telling others what to do. This country should go complete libertarian. Leave people alone.

177 One thing wrong with Inception:Leo DeCraprio.

178 I need to repost:

I hate them democrats, republicans, and teabaggers telling others what to do. This country should go complete libertarian. Leave people alone.

179 I don't understand why people don't like Cage.  Not all of his films are good, but a lot of them are fun to watch.  I'd rather go see the Sorcerer's Apprentice over Inception right now, if only because I am loathe to support the leads in Inception (damn them for ruining anticipation for what may be a fine film!).
What was wrong with Ghost Rider?  It was a fun film and that's all I ask of my entertainment.  Of course, National Treasure happens to be his best series as far as I'm concerned.

187 For anyone on a limited budget (like me), I'd recommend holding out for The Expendables. No, I haven't seen Inception yet, but I'm going to use Gabe's excuse and say, "Has there been a watchable movie with Leo DiCaprio in it?" Nolan may be a moron-favorite, but he's doing fine without any of us advertising for him.

How quickly Gabe forgets all the excellent movies Cage has been in.

188 Can we all agree? Democrats, Republicans,and TeaBaggers are all hypocrites?

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

I am ruined because of THREE

200 Can't you Cons see that I'm trying to gain your trust by pretending to be a radical libertarian?

201 SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

TEN kills me also. I have always coveted my neighbors donkey and his female slaves.

202 And I'm "pulling" for NAMBLA, too, IYKWIMAITYD.

203 Your teabagging leader wants US law to be based on the commandments just listed? Talk about telling others what to do.

Leave people alone teabaggers. Lets all be Libertarians. (Funny how their name sounds like Liberal).

204 I can live with Libertarians but Teabaggers are republicans on steroids.

205 A Commandment Hip Swingin' Relaxed Libertarian Raykon is Just Fine With:

Thou shalt place no salt upon thy fries, neither curly nor regular, nor shalt thou place salt upon thy steak, nor thy eggs, nor anything else thou plans on ingesting.

206 Gee, and "Messerschmitt" doesn't sound like any other word either, does it?

207 Have to say Christopher Nolan is a great director that doesn't do moronic shit like insult half of the country for cheap political gains in the Hollywood circles. Too bad the stars of his film couldn't follow his fine example.

208 "Palins's advice: "Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant -- they're quite clear -- that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the ten commandments."

You teabaggers don't want to tell others what to do?

Back in a bit, have to water the pond lilies.

209 Teabaggers are republicans on steroids.

How can you be so obtuse?

210 Back in a bit

No one cares.

211 What is wrong with Libertarians?

212 Yeah, I know about the whole movie experience thing. I almost stroked out yelling at a bunch of kids during The Grudge. (And none of that "it sucked" stuff--that's not the point.) Sunday through Thursday movies only. Be very careful in the Summer: Don't go to any movies with teen appeal that aren't loud enough to drown out the talking. Don't go to any horror movies at all, unless you go during the day: The young kids won't go, and the old kids aren't out yet. Also, the seniors don't do horror either. Broaden your palate: Indie/low-budget/foreign flicks are not teen magnets (they can't read the subtitles, thank you public education!), and these days they're often better than the crap Hollywood turns out. Check IMDB and other sites, while being aware of certain prejudices: Peter Jackson, Martin Scorcsese, yes, and Chris Nolan, among others have legions of fanboys who will inflate their scores. (I'm way behind but in my reviews I concentrate on trying to communicate what the movie is like so that you can get an idea of whether or not you'll like it.) If you can, find a small chain that offers a club discount. Laemmele's is awesome. You buy a club card and tickets are $1-$2 off, more if you're a senior or student AND the concessions are reasonably priced (in movie terms). Two tix to a weeknight show (w/card): $14 Large popcorn and two large sodas (free refills on both):8.50 And that's not counting any above and beyond special deals. It's an art, but if you master it, you get to watch a movie relatively interrupted--which, for some of us, is nigh impossible to achieve at home.

213 I'm confused.

214 "you get to watch a movie relatively interrupted--which, for some of us, is nigh impossible to achieve at home."

I watch a movie from netflix virtually every day at home. There is a lot of art in many of them. Writing. Ideas.

But with Netflix, I won't see Inception for months.

215 Raising Arizona was great!

216 I watched "The Single Man Today".

Nominated for Oscar. Another 14 wins & 23 nominations

The only reason I watched it.

217 I saw Sorcerer's with my kids.  Nothing great or horrible about it.  SSF (Simple Summer Fare). Had to tolerate a preview with probably THE worst and most overated actor: BEN AFFLECK.  How anyone can slam Cage or anyone else while that putrid nothing exists (On screen AND Off) is beyond me.

218 Think I'll skip Inception, or wait until it shows up in the local library.  Right now I just can't stomach watching that stupid little bitch who spouted something about "holistic intelligence" and not liking Sarah Palin.

219 But Sarah is the head teabagger and she thinks the US should live by the ten commandments. You all think we should live by the ten commandments?

You're a lying POS, asshole.  FOAD, statist fascist troll prick.  Back to Kos, you toad.

220 You all think we should live by the ten commandments?

How about you tell us which one(s) we shouldn't live by.

221 The last movie I saw in the theater was Star Trek, but that's because a friend wanted to go.  Before that, the last one was probably Grosse Pointe Blank or Fifth Element. 

People are too annoying to sit near for two hours.

I'd love to go to a Drive-In movie.  Found one out this way, but it's apparently known for lots of pot smoking teenagers (and Libertarians, presumably), so I lost interest. 

222 Tami, please see 211 and 213.

223 How about you tell us which one(s) we shouldn't live by.

Touche, Tami! 

224 Nicolas Cage. I loved National Treasure and maybe if I've been drinking I'll watch the Rock, but everything else this dude has ever been in has been awful. Face/Off. Yes, others have pointed this out but the movie is so good it MUST be pointed out again!

No, you don't understand, why that out-of-context comment means that Sarah Palin is just waiting for the first chance to impose an authoritarian theocracy.  You know, like the one she implimented in Alaska.  And the one lefties were always warning us that Bush was about to create.

Not as authoritarian as the San Francisco city council and not as theocratic, either, but what can you do?

250 I'd become a liberal, but I'm not into queering off. Any tips on how you managed to learn?

251 $150 million? Really? That's an awful lot to pay for a p.o.s.

252 #83, goddamn it, I forgot about Gone in 60 Seconds. A remake, find H.B. Halicki's original if you want to see the lowest production values and lack of script in Hollywood history, but I love it. Plus it's got Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, and Vinne Jones. Love it. I can live without that little Giovanni whuzzizname Scientologist fucker who got shot in Saving Private Ryan.

I had the chance to buy the matched pair of gold-finish Springfield Armory National Match 1911A1's that Cage used in Face/Off, but I didn't have an extra $4500 at the time. I was kinda broke back then.

253 All the folks who incessantly complain about recycled Hollywood films or politically-motivated films will have nothing to bitch about with Inception.

But this film is exactly that! It's nonstop blatant tongue in cheek references to cinema classics. Titanic, The Usual Suspects, The Matrix, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Casablanca, The Italian Job. You could predict the plot by who was in the scene; it was liking watching an awards ceremony. It was very smug, "We all share the same dreams, because we all watch the same films." But Nolan is great, and it's an entertaining movie. Definitely worth the price of admission. Sometimes it seemed a bit masturbatory (five minutes feels like thirty in dream time.) The nice thing was that as far as politics goes, everyone freely admits that communism is straight up theft. This was a very polished B flick, the Mercedes ad aesthetic added to Scary Movie.

254 Also, Warren Beatty makes a better lesbian than his wife. His daughter wants to be a man. Hollyweird.

257 Sorry, gotta give the thumbs down on Inception. Just saw it and all 4 of us thought that it blew. Derivative and forced, and I say that as a Nolan fan. It had some cool trippy visuals, but, overall, it just tried waaay too hard.

259 Axelrod should write some new scripts for his trolls.  It's the same crap everywhere.

260 It looks like I'm the only guy that liked Snake Eyes. I also liked Matchstick Men and Wild At Heart. I think Cage missed his true calling. He would have been much better as a movie villain than as a hero. In two or three years he'll probably have his own television series, probably network.

261 Looks like I'm pretty much going to be alone in the crowd, but I think Leaving Las Vegas is an excellent movie.  And how about Elizabeth Shue?  Hello?

262 Don't have time to read through all of the posts so I don't know if anyone mentioned Red Rock West. Nice underrated flick with Dennis Hopper and Lara Flynn Boyle. Hopper alone makes it great (naturally).
