Why is everyone picking on Nicolas Cage?

There is no doubt that Nicolas Cage makes odd choices when selecting a movie and character to take on. That doesn't change the fact that however strange or absurd a movie is, his performance fits perfectly into the folds that make up the screenplay. Every performance is different when examined closely. Small details in his characters add nicely to the films. I am convinced he can do any role. and I have had this dream of casting him as a dance instructor at a college, a bit washed up, a bit pervy and of course, a bit doped up. Let that marinate for a minute...brilliant. I dare you to go back and take a look at some of his work and ask yourself, "Is he really as bad as I thought?" I guarantee that you will wonder why you spent so much time hating on the Cage when you wasted all that time not loving the Cage. Re-examine The Rock. Take a closer look at The Wicker Man. Dive deep into a dish of Adaptation, Matchstick Men, Red Rock West and Leaving Las Vegas. Many films. Many wonderful performances. Nicolas Cage, you are the president of my world. I'm voting you in for another four years. I'm spreading the word and to all you readers out there, let the Cagefest begin.

"The more educated a person is, the less they know about dancing."

Driving in my car this morning, I overheard this absurd comment on the radio. It has stuck with me throughout the entire day. I'm about average on the educational level. I'm interested in many subjects, and have much to learn in all of them. I enjoy the art of dance very much. Quite simply, does this make me a bad dancer? Think about it and embrace your desires. -BTB
