What were the first few things you learned to say in Russian, and why?

Raising Arizona was the only movie he was ever even tolerable in. Somebody drug me to Ghost Rider and I just wanted to claw my eyes out. I still have the scars.

I actually enjoyed Leaving Las Vegas, but I agree that Ghost Rider was well, ghastly .

Hmmm...yeah ok, Leaving Las Vegas wasn't bad. I think the problem is that there are some parts that Cage was born to play, but he keeps insisting on playing roles that he is woefully unqualified for. Did you know he was slated to play Superman? He is apparently a big comic book buff, and wheedled himself into the project back before they chose Brandon whatshisname. I think he was going to produce it or something. I didn't think Superman was all that great (it was good, not great), but dear god can you imagine how badly he'd have destroyed that franchise?

Didn't he name his kid after Superman's home planet or alien name or something?

[mox 298]

Yep, he named him after Superman's dad. Kal-el Coppola Cage. It's people like him that make a good argument for requiring personality tests before reproducing.

I tend to dislike comic based movies anyway. Plot development must be tough, considering the amount of history on most of the classic characters. I find most of those movies pretty shallow no matter who stars in them.
