I agree about Nic Cage and disagree about Hackman. He is an incredibly natural actor so you never see him working, but if you watch several films of his in a row, you can spot real differences between the characters. I loves me some Hackman.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Allow me to defend my Gene Hackman love further. I think he's a fantastic actor, because even though there never seems to be a LOT of diversity in his characters, I always feel like I'm watching the character. I don't ever see Gene, or watch Gene acting. I mean, I *adore* him. I'll sit through almost any otherwise blah film, just to watch Gene at work.

Although, to be fair, possessing a broad range of "characters" doesn't make one's acting great either.... I'm looking at you Jim Carrey and sometimes Dustin Hoffman.

Ooh, you meant the movie The Rock and not the person. I love that movie a lot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Man, remember when Nic Cage wasn't a punchline waiting to happen? I mean, Face/Off! He was so cool!
How'd he go from that to this?
