Nicolas Cage is a good actor... sometimes. In the underrated The Weather Man he was decent, not to mention Spike Jonze's Adaptation. and his memorable turn as a drunk in Leaving Las Vegas are both milestones. Yet, he has become almost an Internet meme is his choice of bad movies in the past few years, including the worst possible written adaptation of Marvel's Ghost Rider or the remake of The Wicker Man. So building upon the more recognized comical version of Cage, is a great fellow Blogger account, NicCageIsEveryone. Enjoy. Many actors end up doing side projects in music. Some fail terribly, others end up doing it quite successfully. Case in point, I can't help but fancy Scarlett Johansson as a musical artist in her team-up with Pete Yorn. Praise aside, regardless of how natural Johansson sounds behind the mic, her crossover doesn't hold a candle to Christopher Lee. Yes, the 87-year-old accomplished actor that has portrayed Count Dracula, Count Dooku and Saruman. And it just isn't any light pop fare, the noted genre in the Topless Robot article is "symphonic metal", a rock opera-ish account of the life of the King of the Franks, Charlemagne.

Is there a worse award show than the People's Choice Awards? The Twilight Saga: New Moon took home Best Movie by the way, just in case you weren't sold on the aforementioned statement just yet.
