Nicolas Cage crushed it in Spider-Noir (🌟🌟🌟🌟) & it’s sent me down a massive Cage rabbit hole, which includes his Oscar win for Leaving Las Vegas. Cage perfectly captures the pain & suffering an alcoholic goes through. This film elevated Cage’s status to another level.

Nicolas Cage recently sat down with David Marchese, writer and co-host of The Interview with the The New York Times & it’s not just the best interview I’ve ever heard Cage give, it’s one of the best interviews with an actor I can remember in recent history. This is such a thoughtful discussion. My biggest takeaway from the interview is as follows: Cage is a genius. Not just an artistic genius who is constantly pushing himself to be “interested” (interested is a word Cage constantly returns to in this interview), it’s that Cage’s memory/recall/understanding of art- across all mediums- is unbelievable. This man lives to soak up music, poetry, painting- and of course, Cinema. It’s honestly inspiring how much this man knows & cares about art. All that knowledge makes Cage endlessly fascinating to listen to, especially when it comes to Cage’s process for picking & choosing films. I’ve always appreciated how Cage refuses to do the same thing over & over. He doesn’t just want something new- he has to have something new or he won’t do it. For example Dream Scenario, a role that Cage took on to help combat the “memefication” of his life. It’s unlike anything Cage has ever done yet he’s totally brilliant. Listening to why Cage chose Dream Scenario is just one exceptional portion of the interview. The full interview, which is about an hour, is available on YouTube. You will learn a lot & it’s entertaining as hell. I strongly advise checking it out.

Nicolas Cage on how he prepared for his role in "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995) & the movies he watched to get an idea of how to play an alcoholic: "Ebert: What did you know about drinking before you started shooting the movie, and what did you find out playing this character? Cage: I drink socially with my friends. Having a glass of wine at dinner is not a problem. It blew my mind that people who drink too much over long periods of time can actually develop hallucinations, go into delirium tremens. I tried to get my hands on videotape of this happening. I recall seeing heroin withdrawals on film but for some reason, it’s very difficult to get alcohol withdrawals on film and so I had to use my imagination of what that must feel like. I spoke to many drunks; I spoke with people who are running programs for this problem and what I could gather was, the stomach shrinks and contracts like a fist, and the alcohol’s like this injection that goes into the body and relaxes the stomach. So the performance really largely came from the stomach for me. And I watched four movies to get an idea of great alcoholic performances. I saw “The Lost Weekend” (1945) with Ray Milland, “Days of Wine and Roses” (1962) with Jack Lemmon, Dudley Moore in “Arthur” (1981) and Albert Finney in “Under the Volcano.” (1984) They were all great, but the Albert Finney one struck a chord of reality and I wondered, what about this is different? I asked Figgis – because he had worked with Finney – was he really drinking? And Mike called Finney, and he said, “No, I wasn’t. It would be impossible to do that because of the way the schedule is changing and you have to get there and show up for work, and it just wouldn’t be possible to take a gamble like that.” Ebert: Well, you couldn’t really control your acting if you were drinking. Cage: Right. That would be an example of Method acting going too far." ("Cage relishes operatic role in tragic `Leaving Las Vegas’", Roger Ebert, 2012)

Locktober Brainwash and Cage Inspection – Mistress Uses Your Cage to Own Your Mind You kneel before me for Locktober, co¢k locked and straining, thinking this is your idea of devotion. You imagine you’re choosing this — but that’s the first fantasy I’m going to strip away. This cage isn’t just on your co¢k; it’s in your mind. Every throb against the bars is another neuron I’m rewiring to fire under my control. Chastity for Me goes far deeper than just denying you s3xual pleasure. While you ache and strain, I whisper into your mind, making you crave your own torment, making you addicted to your own humiliation. You can feel it happening: even though you know I’m manipulating you, you like it. You need it. The more I tease and torment you and make you aware of your physical constraint, the more it makes you aware of the control I’ve taken of your mind, until the only real pleasure you have left is the ache I’ve engineered for you. I tell you the truth you’re too weak to deny: before me you were nothing. My ownership is the only thing that gives you worth. The cage you’re wearing is not a symbol of “self-discipline” — it’s a symbol of your new reality, my growing control over you. It’s a physical trigger that deepens your mental servitude every time you feel it bite. To make sure you start off the first step of the most important decision of your life correctly, I order you to come forward and show off your cage so that I can inspect it. Every second of ache and desperation is just another lesson: you exist to be locked, teased, and manipulated by me, and I’m going to make sure you never forget it.
