Nicholas Cage-Related Remake Night




I like this e-mail commentary thing.

We watched Nicolas Cage in the remake of The Wicker Man a few months ago.

Turns out it was almost exactly a year ago. Happy The Wicker Man Remake Anniversary!

Friday we're going to watch the original.

I assure you it's different enough that you won't be bored. No worse than watching another zombie movie that's like all the other zombie movies. Ooo, that makes me want to watch another zombie movie.

We're also going to watch the Bad Lieutenant remake starring Nic Cage after never watching the 1992 Harvey Keitel original.

We could watch that one if you want. Especially if you want to see Harvey Keitel's penis. I know, you're thinking, "again?".

I get the feeling people didn’t really dig The Wicker Man remake even though it’s pretty much one of the best bad movies to come around in the last 5 years. Witness: "Howditgetburned Howditgetburned Howditgetburned Howditgetburned?",



"What's in the bag? A shark"?



Leelee Sobieski getting kicked in the face? Cage punching a woman while dressed as a bear?



And this is all you need to know about The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans:



Okay, one more thing. It's made by legendary director Werner Herzog (Aguirre: The Wrath of God). He also (therefore?) is crazy. And the insane things keep happening. He once rescued Joaquin Phoenix from a car crash:



A few days later he was shot at during an interview with Mark Kermode and wasn't all that that worried about it:



And there was that time he went with Errol Morris to dig up Ed Gein's mom.

Here's what happened last week:
