Human Metagasm Nicolas Cage stars as an alternate version of himself in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent‘
When I think of master thespian Nicolas Cage, I often think that his acting method is turning himself into cocaine that we can snort through our eyes as opposed to our noses, because actual cocaine is bad. It’s not only for your body, but also your mind and everything else you can think of because actual drugs are not in your best interest, unless they are, and if so, vaya con dios, mi amigo. Some trails you have to go it alone.
So because we don’t really want to deal with the implications of doing actual cocaine, we instead choose to watch NIc Cage, as we should.
On a personal level, I’m pretty excited about his upcoming film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, largely because I’m an absolute weirdo that likes watching weirdo movies like devout people go to church. While I’m not saying that Nic Cage is my Personal Jesus, I certainly do get a euphoria from his work that a Tennessee serpent handler might find in service of the Lord.
According to the synopsis, which I only post because people should always know what’s in their drugs, “Nicolas Cage stars as… Nic Cage in the action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nic Cage.”
Kooky.
Well, after seeing the trailer, this film could’ve been about Nic Cage rubbing golden shit on a wall for 45 minutes before shooting a grizzly bear, and it would’ve had my money, so I figure April 22, 2022 is going to be a brand new Christmas. Or maybe Nicmas. Don’t act like that doesn’t have a ring to it.
