Well, he could be winning an Oscar next month... It's tough to be underrated when you win one of those!

Nicolas Cage has been nominated?

Edit, oh Jared Leto haha. Was gonna say. Not seen his performance for whatever it was, but he deserves some recognition.

Lol, Nicolas Cage Oscar nominated. He's so bad they should name a Razzie award catagory after him

Yeah, and Cage's trifecta of action films in the mid 90s was pretty fun! Face/Off, The Rock and Con Air... I like all of them for different reasons.

His worst trifecta of films are The Wickerman, Drive Angry, & Ghostrider.

I thought Drive Angry was fun in a shitty movie kind of way... Agreed with Wickerman and Ghostrider, though.

I guess it was fun, and I laughed a lot, but not because it was funny but just because I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was. I've not seen the second Ghostrider. There's a bunch of his films that I haven't seen like Next, Bangkok Dangerous & Knowing that I want to.

I liked Con Air and think it's a pretty decent flick, but The Rock was so-so. The Weatherman is my favourite Cage film, but I haven't seen much of his earlier work or his Oscar Winning (lol) performance.

Lord of War was also good, IMO best Cage movie of the last 10 years.

Cage had a run of good films in the early 2000s from Con Air onwards. He hit a bit of a streak from 2003-04 with Matchstick Men, National Treasure (good fun), Lord of War and ending with The Weatherman (my favourite), but then he did The Wickerman and shat all over his career with his next films.

Agreed, very solid film with an interesting backstory. Jared leto was pretty good in it, too!

Jared Leto is such an under-appreciated actor (and also musician IMO). Doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Wiseau does his Q&As in the US as well. A friend of mine has a picture with him on his Facebook page... Apparently Wiseau is just this rich French guy who does whatever he wants and doesn't give much of a crap.

That said, I'd love to check out a screening one of these days! Maybe even if/when I move to London.

Did you see The Disaster Artist book? I've not read it, but I've seen excerpts and they are a mixture of revelation and expectation haha. Wiseau is crackers haha.

I haven't, but maybe I should!

Currently watching the fun-ish but forgettable Paycheck by John Woo, who used to be so good before he came to America... Except for Face/Off. That one's good.

Paycheck was enjoyable for what it was. Never really thought much of Face/Off, but Nicholas Cage is my favourite shit actor.

Yeah, some of my friends just don't get it but others LOVE it. I think one of them even bought a Wiseau bobble head. I'll have to confirm, though...

I can see how people just wouldn't understand why people liked it, but I love watching shit films anyway. There was a woman at the screening I saw who was getting a bit pissed off and annoyed at all the noise and commotion and kept asking perplexingly "why is everyone laughing it's not even funny" haha. Seeing it in the cinema is a completely different experience. It's surreal. I fully recommend it.

It seems to me that you're the expert, Mark!

I would much rather pay the going rate to experience a cinema showing of The Room than most of the other trash that gets shown. The cinema even provides spoons as projectiles, collect enough of those and you can break even on your ticket. Winning!

Agreed! I know the Sunshine Cinema in NYC screens it once a month on a Saturday night. I'd love to catch that!

Jeeze, once a month. A cinema near me used to show it once a year, but they apparently stopped it because of the rowdiness after somebody threw a football at the screen and it hasn't been shown since late 2011 haha. I'm hoping they'll show it again sometime because I want to take all my mates to see it.

Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square do monthly screenings of The Room.

I just checked their website and there are a few screenings next month where Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero are doing a 25 minute Q&A session beforehand. That would be pretty sweet.
