From PR rules, what did he do/not do to earn such vitriol?

Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage cannot act, any poster found not disparaging this cretins 'work' will be subject to immediate deletions or immense amounts of ridicule

Ghost Rider

Cage movie shyteness is directly proportional to how dodgy his haircut is.

I wouldn’t call what he does as acting, he gurns for 90 minutes.

Are you getting him mixed up with Peter O'Mahony by any chance?

Well this thread should attract Earl pretty quickly

SOB is on a different level of whinging than POM tbf.

POM is too busy running elite support lines and not tackling to bother the ref.

pff, not even close

I want to point out how great he was in Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona, but it feels like a trap...

Con Air is the pinnacle of cinematic excellence


"put the bunny back in the box"

The Rock and Con air are two reasons he deserves a break for everything else.

I blame Andy Sandberg for creating the whole ironic Nick Cage worship.
As well as a thousand million Facebook Die Hard fans in their 20's
Why can't people just be original like me?

Ghost Rider was vaguely watchable. Ghost Rider 2, jaysus wept.

con air wasn't bad either, the rock was moreso salvaged by connery

Counterbalanced by The Wicker Man.

Cage was majestic in Kick Ass.

Closely followed by The Rock.
"Try? Looshersh try. Winnersh go home and fuck the prom queen."
"Carla was the prom queen!"

A lot of his earliest stuff was quality. Birdy and Raising Arizona for example.

oh...I am here to defend the man...

80s Work

Valley Girl, Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona, Moonstruck

90s

Honeymoon in Vegas, Guarding Tess (not my flavor, but folks like it), Leaving Las Vegas, Con Air, The Rock, Faceoff (come on enjoy the greatness/terribleness),

2000s

Adaptation, National Treasure (people love this stuff), The Weather Man, Knowing (thought it was worth the watch), Bad Lieutenant

2010s

Joe (great movie), good in Snowden, Kick-Ass

Sure, he has lots of stinkers....but there are so many worse folks than him..I mean Raising AZ alone would always make me a fan...and really really great performance in Adaptation where he should have won an Oscar

If you can't enjoy him in Vampire's Kiss then I don't think you should watch films.

Raising Arizona is a fantastic film, but not because Cage is in it. Holly Hunter owned that movie!

He's not that bad in 8mm. I like that film (as did Roger Ebert).

I was told that Cage takes on any script he gets and that's why he has so many stinkers. There's certainly a few movies of his that I enjoyed over the years but I wont say I'm a fanboy though.

Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Matchstick men and Lord of War

Then there's a decent handful of entertaining ones where he's not unbearable

and then there's a ton of shit, hard to pick a winner but Face/Off is up there with Armageddon on my uber crap list.

Raising Arizona's a fun movie.

Red Rock West
Bad Lieutenant
Wild at Heart

yup, and Peggy Sue Got Married - Lord of War was decent too if I remember

forgot matchstick men ; good one too

Do you like Nic Cage movies?

Reported. In fact I'm reporting all of you.

Yes, great film. Ridley Scott I think. And featuring Sam Rockwell, another one of my favorite actors.

edit: just looked it up, directed by Ridley Scott and music by Hans Zimmer! Quality throughout.

The only thing worthwhile about Cage now is he's willing to appear in some interesting horror flicks. Colour Out Of Space was grand. Mandy was an overrated turd, but it was trying to do something a bit different at least. Mom and Dad was fun if a little silly in places.

The real tragedy of Nic Cage's career is that we never got to see this on the big screen:
