he never turns down a role.

[–]POTATO_ANAL_ETC 28 points29 points ago

Except for Aragorn. I'm not a believer, but thank God for that.

[–]cumfarts 18 points19 points ago

He turned down Neo from The Matrix as well

[–]IchooseYou 14 points15 points ago

Praise the lord!

[–]CountGrasshopper 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, would he have been worse than Keanu?

[–]Jniede 2 points3 points ago

Keanu's acting style worked amazingly for the matrix.

[–]Phil_J_Fry 1 point2 points ago

yes.

I want to say that Nic Cage is great for some roles, but the slightly out of it, learning and turning into a guru role isn't one I see him mastering. He always feels a bit .. twitchy in his roles. It's hard to explain, but just more like he's on edge.

Keanu on the other hand has always played the more laid back roles and I think roles like Neo fit with his acting style better.

Neo was always a step behind everybody else until the end - waiting, watching, learning and looking inward. I can't imagine Nic Cage pulling that off more believably with that sense of calm.

[–]Myrandall 7 points8 points ago

Did he really turn it down or did Peter Jackson change his mind?

EDIT: Names are hard

[–]MyMagicalPenis 13 points14 points ago

i can't imagine him playing Aragorn, it's just a horrible thought.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

yea, im glad he didnt.

[–]Myrandall 11 points12 points ago

[–]DiscoCaliente 10 points11 points ago

That makes me feel like my imagination was just molested:/

[–]Phil_J_Fry 1 point2 points ago

"And uh the Black riders are behind us, ok? And if ..they catch us we're .. we're dead, yeah. So, uh, let's not get caught by them, ok? Great. Let's go.

Hey, get back in your cage

[–]MotharChoddar 2 points3 points ago

You talking to me?

[–]SystemOutPrintln 1 point2 points ago

Ya, I'll sick the octopus on you. As cute as she is, she can hold people down effectively.

[–]mquindlen81 2 points3 points ago

That's high praise.

[–]ledzep4life 0 points1 point ago

WHY AM I NOT IN THIS MOVE!?

[–]Calvin_Kim 47 points48 points ago

If I met a girl online, I'm pretty sure I'd recognize a zipper coming down the middle of her face.

[–]IAmACollegekid 72 points73 points ago

Scooby and the gang always struggled with this.

[–]bitofagoslow 7 points8 points ago

'if'

sigh I know that feeling

[–]knirefnel 16 points17 points ago

I just had a horrific mental image of everyone in the world suddenly unzipping to reveal that they are actual Nic Cage. Every single person. Kind of like the ending to Earthworm Jim 2

[–]mouseytongue 0 points1 point ago

Cute!

[–]Kovukono 6 points7 points ago

I thought this was a new version of Face/Off.

[–]ColonelBrutus 0 points1 point ago

I came to make a Face/Off joke too. :P Well played, sir.

[–]GameMisconduct63 5 points6 points ago

The status quo has changed

[–]cgycnd 5 points6 points ago

I was 25 and made a plan online to meet a girl at the zoo.

She was also 25 and is now my wife.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]cgycnd 0 points1 point ago

My wife is a doctor and I am an engineer. We are both retarded, which is why we went to the zoo.

[–]ANDRO55 9 points10 points ago

Was I the only one expecting something zim related?

[–]Cronax -1 points0 points ago

I was as well. Can someone with PS skills make GIR coming out of an unzipped Cage coming out of an unzipped 15 year old?

[–]steviesteveo12 3 points4 points ago

This is the Nick Cage method.

[–]lechonga 7 points8 points ago

Do you see how the original text wasn't red? Did you ever stop to wonder why that might be?

[–]YankeeRacers 0 points1 point ago

Isn't this from http://tumblr4men.tumblr.com ? That site is the best thing since Rocky IV.

[–]Papasmurph1 0 points1 point ago

This is the 8th repost I've seen today. Congrats, I suppose.

[–]zinaer 0 points1 point ago

Please tell me the title is a Jurassic Park reference...

[–]stormclaw11 0 points1 point ago

It got too HOT in the hood. So he had to the off the mask. Bud Duh, tss.

[–]ZeMeest 0 points1 point ago

Oh, Nick Cage...

[–]Eternalblue 0 points1 point ago

Based on the title, I thought it was going to involve Invader Zim...

[–]Treykun22 0 points1 point ago

Question OP are you on the sight Eliteskills? Because I know that this pic has been up there for about a year now.
