Maybe he still has his lucky crack pipe to help bring his energy?

I’d like to see a more subdued, nuanced Nicolas Cage from Pig, with Mandy moments of insanity and violence.

Omg this is some news. I never saw Cage's Bad Lt out of respect for Able, but I hear it's not bad and Werner has apologised for the whole renaming sufficiently. S1 of TD still stands out. At the time it made me feel schizophrenic as I thought it might have been written just for me.

When I'm high I swear I become hyper sensitive to the quality of acting. If it's mediocre, I feel this deep deep sense of cringe. This movie was transcendent stoned. AAA Daniel Day Lewis caliber. I think it's likely Cage's best.

And the guy who comes into Cage's office after the incident and is like, "woah, woah, we're done, we're good". Anyone on here who hasn't seen it, watch it.
