So I watched The Wicker Man this afternoon.

It was bad, as one might expect. But Nicolas Cage pretty much makes any terrible dreck watchable. I mean, the YouTube clip of the "best scenes" pretty much makes watching the entire film unnecessary (especially since the scenes work amazing without any context), but then again... with context it doesn't make much sense either.

All this is to say that I think Nicolas Cage is my favorite actor.

He's great when he needs to be great, and when he gets something that allows him to be gleefully over-the-top, he's pretty much your best choice. Speaking of which... I saw Bad Lieutenant the other week as well. Which was, you know... pretty awesome. Except for the parts where it sort of dragged. But still.
