LOL! What Kestrel said!

I’ve known about this movie for a couple of years now. When I heard Nic Cage was linked to it I was concerned.

I like Nicolas Cage. He’s a good actor…as long as he plays a certain type of character. I enjoy his movies, but he does tend to be hit or miss.

As for this movie, I’m actually kind of looking forward to it. But I also looked forward to Haunted Mansion…

Weird… it honestly never even occurred to me that this movie had ANYTHING to do w/ teh Disney movie of the same name. I thought it was just a random shitty Nicholas Cage film.

@Steve And last night I had just reread TJ’s “Walla” post and laughed my butt off. That’s what I get for mocking people…critted by an incorrect possessive.

I’m surprised @Dave let it go without mention.

Glad you edited that apostrophe out; when I saw it in the RSS feed, I was almost as ranty as you are about the movie.

While I think the casting choices could have been better, they could have been worse (e.g., Shia LaBoeuf as the apprentice). And while I understand your objection to the whole idea of the movie, I think I’d object more if, say, Paramount were making it.

@pero Ranting is allowed! I was hopping around like Daffy Duck when I saw the trailer.

@Dave I’m darn sure our paper’s going to have tickets to the local screening and 2 will find their way to my desk due to the “Oh, Kim LOVES Disney” reputation I have. I…I…I can’t.

Ann always gets invites to (sometimes red carpet) movie screenings in her e-mail. One day she was reading off the synopsis to the latest movie and then I asked who was in it.

Ann: “Nicholas Cage…”

Me: “No thanks.”

I too, thought “What the @^%&^#@$%#&!!!!” when I saw the trailer on TV (a few nights ago?)

I am not opposed to Nic Cage in general, but I do not see him as a Disney-Movie character actor.

I do not hate movies, I actually LOVE movies… I just don’t always groove on the casting choices made for them. I think that production companies are more likely to go for “s/he has a big name” than “s/he fits the part”, and that once an actor/actress has a BIG movie, they tend to show up in many others, despite how UNREFINED their skills may be.

Anyway, I’ve already been too ranty in your comments (again).
