He can be a bit like meeting a friends "legend" teammate from their Football team. I liked Mandy and Colour out of Space but Nic Cage wasn't as high on the list of things I liked about those films as other people. I do like him more in other stuff though.
Not liking him doesn't mean he's not good. Although I liked his early work I find watching Daniel Day Lewis tedious. Phenomenal actor, seems like a knob head.

Still can't fathom how anyone enjoys anything with Nicholas Cage in, even ironically.
He is the guy at school who pissed around the entire duration of the group project, acting like a knob-end and winding everyone up, making it 100x harder to get things finished, then takes all the credit at the end when it's turned in.
It's impossible to just pass off anything he's in as a guilty pleasure of a trash movie because I'm too busy feeling sympathy for the other actors trying to make an actual movie having to put up with his ego lurching all over the place while he "acts" in his trademark style.
every scene is like watching David Brent dance at the christmas party except he's not the pitiable jester lacking self awareness, he's just a massive cunt.
seeing all the praise for some of his recent work on here genuinely makes me feel like I'm in invasion of the body snatchers, you're all pod people.
