I used to respect Nicolas Cage. Not because we both spell our first name the same way, but because he's actually made some really good movies. Raising Arizona. Adaptation. Leaving Las Vegas. Movies that are entertaining. Vampire's Kiss. Con Air. The Rock (if only to say "the rock" with your best Sean Connery impersonation). So the guy should have some clout, right? Yeah, except that I can't think of a single recent film from him that was good. I abhor the National Treasure movies. Every single film that tries to be an "Indiana Jones movie" is always atrocious, which I don't understand. I love Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade, but I feel somehow morally opposed to such films as Sahara and the DaVinci Code. But that's an entirely different issue I suppose...
Today I read an article on Cracked that starts to peck away at how I've felt about Nicolas Cage for the past... I don't know... seven years. What's happened to this guy? Does he just not care anymore? Is it just a paycheck to him? And what's with that godawful hair?
Anyone else feel similarly?

Con-Air was awesome.
Con Air is when I became aware of Steve Buscemi.
