Why don't we just let this die quietly since the one who started it seems to be done too. It is not going to do anyone any good to keep egging this thread on ok?

We wouldn't mind if this moron did have a valid opinion Eagly.
What we are against is the fact that this person has been, and is continuing to be, very insulting to Nic on a personal basis therefore he/she doesn't have an opinion he/she is just being downright rude and insulting.
Ye.. I know. But I still think it's childish to argue 'bout this. I don't see the point of this.
This guy obviously has a problem.. That is clearly evident. You can't rationalize with an irrational person. I hope he finds something that makes him happy. Being an ******* is easy, Trying to be a nice or better person in this god- forsaken world is the hard part. Especially when some guy like this starts talking sh*t.

Ya know Pitch....You seem hell bent on trying to slice and dice the man any which way you can. One has to wonder WHY? Perhaps it's a personal issue with you? If not......please keep this in mind.....
What we're all trying to tell you is that we're well aware of what Nic looks like, sounds like and even acts like when he's not made up and put on the red carpet and we STILL LOVE THE GUY! In fact....as I said before, it is his very humaness that appeals to us.
As far as his flicks flopping....Nic has repeatedly said that he picks projects on how they appeal to HIM. I don't think the driving force behind his choices is based on how much money they'll make. And I, for one, truly RESPECT this decision of Nic's.
There are many many people out there who like Nic Cage for the simple fact that he's not perfect and because he plays 'out there' characters. We like QUIRK!
Get it? If not....GET OVER IT, will ya??? You're barking up the wrong tree here. This forum has been designed to discuss the actor and man in a respectful way, not to bash him constantly. Perhaps you'd be happier elsewhere?

and how is it stupid to argue over how his last 6 years all his movies have flopped? excluding National Treasure. and why they flooped.
I just hope everyone here have seen Nic Cage without his glossy hollywood veneer on, and know his true facial features.
Well if the Devil wears Prada, why can't Nicolas wear what he wants? Hummm?

if you ask me, his career hasn't been going well for the past 6 years. for the past 6 years, it's been one flop after another after another. You guys say that you can get 20 million per picture? I highly doubt that. it's more like 5-10 million.
with all the failures of his recent films, Nicolas Cage has proven that he doesn't deserve that 20 mil paycheck.
what failures?
The Wicked Man - 23 million gross, 40 million budget Weather Man- 12 million gross, 22 million budget Lord Of War - 23 million gross, 50 million budget Adaptation - 22 million gross, 19 million budget Windtalkers - 40 million gross, 115 million budget Captain Corelli's Mandolin - 25 million gross, 57 million budget
Ok that was a huge tangent..
yes back to the main topic,
I think it's not fair to compare a non celebrity to a celebrity. A movie star projects himself out there on the screen, is a public figure, and should be under our scrutiny. They project huge lies and fake vaneers that hide what they truly look like in reality.
Stop using this forum as your hidden therapy time! I will call you out if I have too. Let this go.

I am not just talking about Cage's baldness. I'm saying he looks like a mess, like an old tired man. I'm trying to show you that the cage in the movies is different and not real life.
Me? i always thought Cage still had hair. I thought he looked the way he does on screen, but that isn't the case. Cage really does look much more different than he does on movies and tv interviews. If you don't know this, then you haven't paid attention.
Once again, I ask you, did you see the "AOL: Unscripted" with Cage? I was a little shocked to see him so anemic and gaunt looking. Yet in the movies he doesn't look bad at all.
And look at the picture of Cage here: http://cagefactor.com/photos/nic-alice/nic.kal-el.jpg
and see how pasty, pale, and droopy looking his face is. it's like he's turned into a zombie, like a dead man who is still alive.
Sorry but I don't do the whole Idolize thing. If pointing out that your being a bit rude and childish is idolizing the man, the world is in trouble then because I happen to like Jimminy Cricket. And why on earth are you so intent on pushing this whole "Nic Cage looks like crap" deal? Are you Nic Cage...or do you just want to be and folks turned you down? Show your hand Ace, this is getting old.

You are starting to really upset me. Mr . What is your name again. Like I really don't understand why you are expending so much energy bashing the one and only Nicholas Cage.
Are you out of your natural mind?? Because I for one. Think that you you are. You are out of your mind. You are deranged and insanely jealous . But there is always some ****ing freak out there like yourself that wants to start ****... I personally love to fightand have gotten pretty good at it over the years so Bring It On....****er.
1. yes, i've seen many of them. National Treasure, Con Air, Leaving Las Vegas, 8mm, face/off, gone in 60 secs, it could happen to you, guarding tess, snake eyes, peggy sue got married.

I get up in the morning and I have to basically transform myself into another person before I go to work every day well, M-F. ANd you are bashing Nicholas Cage because on a recent video shoot,he did'nt measure up to your expectations?!! Is that what you are saying???? I just want to make sure ... And you are very concerned about his hair for some reason too. My first question has to be
1. Have you ever actually seen any of his movies?
2. I for one, change my hair and entire look all the ****ing time. I change the color, I change the length , I change it all. So the **** what??? Oh, and I like to change my clothes too like several times a day....
3. I guess It really comes down to this.I don't understand why you are being such an *******.:
What if it isn't just a 'bad day', maybe he just looks like that in real life. maybe he was already "made-up" for that Unscripted interview, and he still looked that bad. I can't image they let him do interviews without make up and a little magic. And even with all that, he still looked like ****. So it's possible, he could look much worse than he does in that interview.
maybe he never looks like the man on the movie screen or tv interview. it's just very underhanded to fool everyone who watches his movies to make people believe he's so much better looking than he really does without the movie magic.
I'd get angry too if i found out all my celebrities who pose for Maxim, FHM, etc. etc. didn't look as good as they do in those magazines. It really is deceiving people.
I never believed this was true for the guys. I always thought this was only for women who get air brushed on magazines and pictures, but for guys it's not a big deal. In a way, Cage is getting so-called 'air-brushed' on the movies and tv, just another form of it.
here's another bad video of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJGOOG9Uzsg
honestly, i love seeing the 'real' celebrity and not the made up one for the cameras.
Pitch??? What we're trying to get thru to you, is that the majority of people who post on this board are serious, die hard fans of Nic's who have followed his career over many, many years. And.......Yes, we have seen what you are trying to force down our throats, that Nic apparently is HUMAN afterall and at times can look like hell.
So can the rest of us!
And here's a great big YES to your pointed question. Personally, I've seen the 'Unscripted' pieces. Big WOW Perfect! Nic simply looked tired as heck and a bit under the 'weather'. Haven't you ever LOOKED LIKE THAT???
The point that we're trying to make to YOU is that we still admire the man and find his humaness attractive. It has nothing to do with idolatry. It happens to do with honesty. None of us are guilty of putting the man up on some ridiculous pedestal and doing as you seem to have done....expecting the REAL man to be what we see on the FAKE celluloid screen!
GET IT?

LMAOF..too funny but true!!! I dated this guy Richard who was this rick jerk, but thats another story. But he wore a very expensive hair piece that for the most part was pretty good. But then he got tired of the equally expensive upkeep and had it removed, had what hair he had left shaved and now goes bald. Thing is, so what..no big deal. Hair or no hair...that is NOT the question! LOL

It clearly states in the introduction to these threads that there is to be no bashing of Nic and/or his family and anyone breaching this rule will be removed so why isn't this being upheld?How come this rude, insulting idiot hasn't been removed or banned????
This is a place for Nic fans to discuss Nic and his work not for anti Nic people to come here and insult our Idol.
I realise that not everyone likes everything Nic does and constructive critiscism is fair but when it gets so that it's a personal vendetta towards a man, his personal life and his family then it isn't acceptable.
I was just surprised how much of a difference there was from the real Nic Cage and the movie Nic Cage. It shows you how much is real and fake in hollywood. I once saw a picture of him and was downright scary dude. For god sakes, he has to wear a hairpiece in his movies!
I bet you that most people don't know that Nic Cage is going bald, and he has to wear a toupee/hair piece in his movies.
I never claimed to be a good looking person, but I've never put myself out there like he has. Nic Cage is a public figure, so that means it is in my realm to provide commentary whatever it may be. Nic Cage is a completely phony, he looks so terrible in real life, that practically whatever appears on screen looks nothing like him in reality. Look at that interview on AOL Unscripted! Did you guys see that?
After I saw how terrible he really looks, I had to wonder, what the heck did he do to himself? Did he take a whole ****load of drugs?
For a wealthy person, he should be able to afford to look better. It didn't even look he was trying.
Tell me something here Mcperfect, why are you here? Some hidden vendetta or maybe agenda against Nicolas Cage? And btw, Nicolas Cage is a working name, simply a tool for the craft, not the real man who would be Nicolas Coppola. Since you seem to be on a hateful and petty streak here, do please get your facts straight. And be it that you like his hair or not, he still rakes in 20 Mil. per film unless he has chosen to take lower or another deal. Can you say that my "I'm not just a member of the hair for men club, I', the President of it too" friend?. Maybe your just testing the waters here and checking pulse reactions for some reason only you know of, if so please let me recommend this great therapist I know. If not, let me recommend this great therapist I know.
Respect and treat others as you would want to be treated. If you find you can not do that, stay the hell off the forums please, we dont need nor tolerate trouble. Now if it was an intelligent conversation topic, great..no worries. But this is downright petty and childish, which brings me to a question..how old are you? I'm thinking 13 just from reading the posts.
If you need someone to talk to though, if something is troubling you that makes you act out like this, I understand and don't mind lending an ear.
