No, the whole world hasn't come together to avoid Nicolas Cage movies. Yet.

It's not a bad idea, since he made $63 million in contracted salary for Windtalkers, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Snake Eyes. If the effort ever does get coordinated, I suspect it might look something like this.

Incidentally, the more recognizable faces in that video are obviously lifted from some other public service announcement; Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Longoria have not joined forces to stop Nic Cage movies. Yet.

The video comes from Magic Hugs, so be sure to check out their other videos.

Briefly, it appeared as though Nicolas Cage regretted his post-Oscar losing streak with movies like Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Windtalkers. Oh, let's not forget the dire Snake Eyes and 8mm. Don't even get me started on City of Angels.

But between 2002 and 2006 he made six pretty good to very good films in a row: Adaptation, Matchstick Men, National Treasure, Lord of War, The Weather Man, and World Trade Center. And then, whoa daddy, did the wheels come off. The best movie he's made since then is probably....uh...National Treasure 2. Unless you're a big fan of Wicker Man or Next, that is.

The downward trend will continue, with Cage signing up for the supanatural thrilla Season of the Witch with director Dominic Sena. Sena directed Gone in 60 Seconds, which is probably a misdemeanor, at worst maybe you get some community service. But it's not a felony, really.>p>

Anyway,

One sentence I never thought I’d be writing:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will play the nefarious Cobra-Commander in next summer’s live-action adaptation of G.I. Joe, recently spoke with MTV and let it be known just what kind of grueling process he must undergo to be transformed into Cobra’s serpentine leader.

(And thank God he did, because I can’t be the only one to wonder who was smoking what when they cast Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander.)

See what J G-l had to say about his role as Cc, and the G.I. Joe flick as a whole:

“The cool thing about my character was that it’s not that digital,” exclaimed Gordon-Levitt, revealing that he underwent significant changes to adapt to the role. “I get to put hours of prosthetic makeup on and see a different creature altogether. I’ve seen how he looks and it’s really cool.

From left to right: Quentin Tarantino, M. Night Shyamalan, Kevin Smith, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Brian De Palma, Ethan and Joel Coen, Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese In search of an idea for another top ten list I got to thinking about directors. Who is the best director? Who is the worst director? Those two questions require some serious research and I just don't think I am learned enough to say one way or another. Then I got to thinking about who may be the most overrated director? The best thing about this question is that it eliminates the likes of Uwe Boll from the conversation and I don't need to regurgitate what so many others have said concerning the directors that have gone down in history as great. I don't have to worry about telling you how great Alfred Hitchcock is and why. It's fantastic. However I
