Ebert wrote about Cage and I remember distinctly what resonated with me. Ebert wrote that Cage above all other actors possessed a fearlessness that is a level solely his. He will GO FOR IT. Has he made some shit? Of course. Is he one of the greatest actors ever? Of course.

Crazy thing is, it was always kind of like that. I remember in 1998, when I was in college, saying in my film class that Cage was one of my favorite actors, and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Then someone gave me a lecture on how Cage will never be as great of an actor as Jason Lee.

I hate the overuse of the “genius” label but he deserves it. Hopefully he is able to figure it all out and maximize his talent/be proud of his work. Adam is a good friend supporting him. Stav did give a shoutout to Nick’s recent special but who knows what happened behind the scenes. I DID SEE Nick’s standup recently and he was great! Maybe Stav’s success will motive Nick?

This is an incredibly based take. I've been saying this for years; Nicolas Cage doesn't phone-in fuck all. Every time he has a role, he's got some odd but wholly unique angle to go towards. You watch interviews of his craft and he says like "Oh I was watching a bird flew by and I thought what would it be like to be a bird," or "I am a big fan of German Expressionism. That's where I wanted to take this role." They may be odd to some of us but the guy has an idea and goes for it. That's respectable. Also, you're gay.

Nick has had like 4 acts to his career. Started out young and played in incredibly eccentric but well written roles, then went to action movies where he excelled, then went to b-movies that had horrible dialogue, writing, plots, and sets but he essentially carried them and now he’s just performing in an amalgamation of all three elements prior - low budget movies, where he is an eccentric character that’s basically just him dialed to 11, but with quality writing and respectable action sequences.

Like hes legitimately made like twenty horrendous films in the last ten years. And being the best part of a bad movie doesnt make your performance commendable.
