Unpopular movie opinions...

I didn't like No Country for Old Men, or There Will Be Blood, or The Road. I know they're supposed to be the most brilliant things EVER, but I found them all grim, depressing, and disheartening.

I think they meant Brilliantly grim, depressing and disheartening.
They stunk. You aren't the only one that thought they did.

You owe me nine minutes of my life back. A horrible Nick Cage performance and accent. :eusa_doh::laser:

is there any other kind of Nick Cage performance?

haven't seen the other two, but I thought The Road was very good. The kid was pretty amazing in it.

No.

No.

Another one I don't think I mentioned.... Chaplin. I thought Robert Downey Jr. did an excellent job in that roll.

Whatever

You know we are right.

You actually like Nick Cage?! Oh, sorry. :deadhorse[angel]

Hey! I was going to use that - :deadhorse - lol I like his early work sometimes

Shall we get back to the regular postings before we kill this thread?

I disagree. I find Nic Cage endearingly barmy. He's responsible for some outright stinkers, alright, a LOT of stinkers (The Wicker Man counts for a lot on it's own), but at least he's unpredictable in the way that Nicholson, Connery and lately, De Niro, seldom are. He's like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get!
At least he's entertaining!

Ok, did I mention that I find Love Story a complete waste of time and a sappy bunch of nonsense?
I also dislike all those fruity Interview with a Vampire movies as well.

Wow! Putting Sean Connery and DeNiro in the same context as Nick Cage is a real stretch. If Nick lived to be 1,000 he might actually get to near where they are.
He is like a box of chocolates in the sense that you never know which toupee his going to wear next. lol

Like many actors lately, he is good at one thing: plying himself. If the character is too much of a stretch, forget it!

I agree. I liked him in Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona, Moonstruck and Wild at Heart.

I've never actually watched Love Story, I've only seen bits and pieces, but I always thought Ali McGraw was unattractive.

Interview with a Vamipre was campy, but I liked the books.

Good call. Ali McGraw is unattractive.
The books can be pretty fruity in some places as well.
