For the longest time, I refused to watch anything he was acting in. I think it was sometime between maybe 1997 and 2002 when I realized how much his movies had started to suck.
More recently though, I caved and decided to watch Renfield, and I’m glad I gave it a chance. It’s not like the greatest movie ever, but I thought it was cute. And I actually really enjoyed Nic in this movie for the first time in decades.
I totally get that, but for what it’s worth, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is worth giving a shot, too! It breaks the 4th wall in a refreshingly humorous & self-deprecating way. Loved it!
I’d be willing to give it a try. I haven’t watched much of his more recent filmography, and what I’ve seen was not in chronological order.
After seeing him in Renfield, I did end up watching Color Out of Space and Willy’s Wonderland. Neither of those movies was something magnificent the way I view his performance in Renfield, but I enjoyed them. Well, Willy’s Wonderland was meh, but I really liked Color Out of Space for what it is worth.
I was a projectionist when that movie came out. As a consequence, there are parts of that movie that I watched and parts of the audio I couldn’t ignore dozens of times.
Sometimes that didn’t make me hate the movies that came out when I was a projectionist.
Last night i looked at this briefly and just thought “cool, thats nic cage through the years” this morning i look again and i realise what i missed and now im giggling by myself in the bathroom. Thankyou OP.
