Thank you friend. I must go pray in order to cleanse myself of this evil. May The Cage be with you.

After finding out about /r/OneTrueGod I have found much more meaning in life.

[–]arcanooito 37 points38 points ago

Would someone please take the time to explain the apparent hatred all the internets have against our Nicolas Cage? I have never LOVED him, and I acknowledge that some movies he's been in are bad/he's bad in, but There are some he's in that I quite thoroughly enjoy.

[–]Forget_the_Oranges 14 points15 points ago

I know what you mean. Most of his movies are OK at best but a few, like Matchstick Men were really pretty good.

[–]arcanooito 3 points4 points ago

I LOVED matchstick men.

[–]Forget_the_Oranges 2 points3 points ago

It really was fantastic

[–]redbeardo 2 points3 points ago

He makes a good movie every 5 years.

Lord of War was excellent, Matchstick Men was worth watching, and The Rock may be one of the most fun summer action movies around (if you like that sort of thing). Oh, and Raising Arizona was hilarious.

But a lot of his stuff shows he's just in it for the money- The Weatherman, Season of the Witch, Ghost Rider 2, Knowing, Next, Drive Angry were all second rate movies.

[–]HappyDays7 4 points5 points ago

He was in Ghost Rider 2 because he genuinely loves comics, and Ghost Rider is one of his favorite characters.

[–]brittnoose 1 point2 points ago

How would you guys rate him in this one?

Genuine curiosity, here.

[–]wheresbicki 1 point2 points ago

I enjoyed him in Kick-Ass.

[–]redbeardo 0 points1 point ago

Well, personally, the movie was pretty awesome and fun. But by no means was Nick the main character- so it worked out well.

It's like Will Ferrel, his best movies are where he isn't the main focus of the film.

[–]Forget_the_Oranges 0 points1 point ago

Ya thats completely true. Unfortunately he is now known for a lot of terrible films when he has done a few really good ones.

[–]worriedblowfish 1 point2 points ago

Wicker man.

[–]VeteranKamikaze 1 point2 points ago

You could populate that film with the best cadre of actors in the history of man and it still would have been awful. This isn't an example of a movie Cage sucked in, it's an example of a movie that sucked that Cage was in.

[–]worriedblowfish 0 points1 point ago

I have to mention it, because it also shows that he really doesn't give a shit about what movies he is in.

Also its hilarious.

[–]nixnaxmik 18 points19 points ago

No idea... I always find him amusing because he's in all these bad movies.

[–]Rationalization_Man 3 points4 points ago

Nicolas Cage isn't necessarily a bad actor, he just did a few bad movies and that's all reddit remembers him for. How can we forget his wonderful performance in con air or national treasure. He's more or less a movie whore who does movies regardless of quality, but he does not deserve all the hate he gets.

[–]arcanooito 1 point2 points ago

So is Sammy Jackson, yet he is in Reddit's Hall of Gods for his worst movie ever.

[–]FattyMcPatty 9 points10 points ago

It seems kind of like a hipster snowball. He's in tons of movies, so I guess he's too maistream. There are people who legitimitely don't like him, but it's nowhere near as hate train. The same with, well, nickelback. The reason they seem to cite most often is "he's in a lot of movies"

[–]arcanooito 12 points13 points ago

Oh, the logic of a mass-cybernetic mind. It's like revers bit-torrenting. Everyone adds a small piece of info to the collective intelligence, and Voila! However, your own addition only gets in if the others upvote it in, so you copy them. The result?

A mind of repetitive garbage filled with nothing but cats, porn, and a strange hatred of Nicolas Cage.

[–]FattyMcPatty 7 points8 points ago

I believe this defines the internet, to a T.

[–]arcanooito 2 points3 points ago

Thanks. I actually came to really like it after I wrote it.

patmyselfontheback.jpeg

[–]TheRollingBones 0 points1 point ago

It's not that he's in a lot of movies. It's that he's in a lot of BAD movies. Guys like Dicaprio, or Morgan Freeman are in a lot of movies too, and well loved over the Internet, because they are generally good actors.

[–]FattyMcPatty 0 points1 point ago

I must be missing it then, but then again I'm no movie critic, so I'm not hard to please.

[–]harrysplinkett 1 point2 points ago

yeah, apparently nickelback is horrible, but everyone wets themselves when they hear "call me maybe". the internets and its 16 year old dwellers!

[–]Iamthesmartest 2 points3 points ago

He's just really easy to make fun of.

[–]arcanooito 2 points3 points ago

[–]statusone 6 points7 points ago

Can somebody explain to me why Nic Cage is all over Reddit?

[–]ArcaneMonkey 1 point2 points ago

he almost never turns down a role so he tends to be in a lot of bad movies, which people remember more that good ones

[–]breaksomething 21 points22 points ago

I was joking w/ my bf last night that my boss likes Nickelback. Isn't that just crazy?? Anyway, he tells me that a friend of his went on tour with them recently (doing pyro) and he says they are really nice guys! They ate dinner with the crew everynight and when even paid for a crew members wedding because he couldn't afford it. A lot of people like Nickelback, and I guess that's ok.

[–]pushkill 11 points12 points ago

I bet Hitler ate dinner with his crew every night as well, doesn't make them nice people.

[–]r0wo1 27 points28 points ago

[–]trowuhweigh991122883 6 points7 points ago

I just spewed hot tea through my nostrils. I hope you're happy.

[–]r0wo1 2 points3 points ago

Unfortunately no :) I hope your nostrils heal quickly!

[–]trowuhweigh991122883 1 point2 points ago

sorry, too much weed, started sounding out usernames... and might I say, you are an endearingly polite redditor! I didn't know they existed :)

[–]r0wo1 2 points3 points ago

No problem! Well thank you kind sir, we do exist! Have a great night! (er morning?)

[–]trowuhweigh991122883 2 points3 points ago

insomnia o'clock is the technical term

[–]skullbeats -1 points0 points ago

That awkward moment when you find Hitler sitting in your seat.

[–]my_bitches_love_me 2 points3 points ago

Oh we're comparing Nickelback to Hitler now?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Well it is such a logical comparison, on one hand you've got genocide of multiple peoples, and on the other unpopular music.

[–]pushkill -1 points0 points ago

Nickelback is very popular and that is the problem. I would argue that just like fascism in pre-war Germany, Nickelback is preying on the sheepish masses who are told who to like and what to buy by powerful entities who have malicious intent. In Hitler's case it was the brainwashing and control of a major population to propagate a new world order, in Nickelback's case it is to leech as much money as possible from simple-minded people to promote corporate dominance that is arguably enslaving our government and people.

[–]JamesEpep -1 points0 points ago

I don't think people are being told to like nickleback. I'm pretty sure they hear a nickleback song on the radio And they go hey that's a good tune. I also wouldn't say that makes them simple minded. Everyone has different tastes yours are no better than anyone.

[–]breaksomething 0 points1 point ago

What a weird thing to say.

[–]VeteranKamikaze 0 points1 point ago

Reddit loves Nickelback. I see way more posts on here assuming anyone who dislikes their music is engaged in a circle-jerk than I see people claiming to dislike their music (I say claiming because Reddit has made it clear to me that this is an impossible opinion to genuinely have)

[–]StewieBanana 7 points8 points ago

Obviously he had never been on the internet. If he had, he would realize they are terrible people

FTFY

[–]HimTiser 5 points6 points ago

People like you are the ones who continue this Nickelback hating trend. They don't make great music, but it isn't bad. Especially when you people treat it like the plague. There is MUCH WORSE music out there, that is ten times popular, Just look at the the top 100 songs in America right now, it is a fucking disgrace. So i recommend you hop off your hate-bandwagon. Not like I can do anything about it though.

/endrant

[–]pushkill 3 points4 points ago

They are corporate whores who make generic music that is peddled to the sheepish masses. They are just like KISS, the only thing that matters is that you buy your Nickelback album and t-shirt with your monster energy drink at Walmart. The people that control the band are the same ones who are over-charging for music and trying to restrict the internet. Money addiction is a bitch.

There are a ton of bands and groups like Nickelback, they are not special. What is special about them is that they are trying to carve their way into a genre of music that traditionally has exposed groups like this. The numetal/hardcore bandwagon they rode in on in the late 90's has finally died, which is why they are getting more and more country by the minute. Look at the massive shift of bands that used to be "rock" and are now identifying with the country crowd. Its because the audience is easy to sell to, just like the hard rock audience of the late 90's.

[–]HimTiser 1 point2 points ago

You are right on all counts. I just is a mystery why the hate is focused at only a few groups or "artists". It may be generic music but "artists" like Nicki Minaj just genuinely do not belong in the music industry, IMO. It should be a hatred towards what you describe and not a specific person(s).

[–]pushkill 1 point2 points ago

I hate Niki Minaj with all my heart. I think a lot of it has to to with the genre they are trying to latch on to. With boy bands, rap, pop, etc.. I am expecting them to be whores and know from the get-go. Nickelback, and especially Nickelback fans, tend to be in denial about this. There are a lot of rock bands that do the same thing Nickelback does, but they embrace it and wear it on their sleeve. Nickelbacks management seems to have this inane power to sneak Nickelback into hardrock playlists on radio, hence the extreme and pointed backlash from an audience.

[–]HimTiser 2 points3 points ago

Shit, never really thought about it that way. Maybe there is some actual sense to the continuing hatred. Well, I learned something today. Thanks mate.

[–]pushkill 0 points1 point ago

Yup! The same goes for film, TV, and video games. Certain labels/studios are only after your money, and there are franchises built with this in mind. Nickelback is simply a franchise, just like Call of Duty, Twilight, Oprah, MTV, reality television, American Idol, etc... The least amount of effort for the greatest amount of profit is win for these people, fuck the real artists who want to make it on their own and actually express any type of emotion in their work. Look how many remakes and sequels dominate these industries, its because it is the safe option to generate income.

I don't blame them, they see a weak point in the system (ie the masses) and hold so much power that the money flows in. The best thing you can do is to expose them and buy directly from the artists so bands like Nickelback aren't profitable enough to exist. There is not a large enough fanbase for Nickelback to continue on without the massive corporate sponsorship they have surrounded themselves with.

[–]NosyargKcid -2 points-1 points ago

Thank you! They've become one of those bands that are "cool to hate". They must be doing something right, since they keep making music and making money as well.

[–]brunettegirl17 4 points5 points ago

I'm confused.. Does reddit like or dislike Nicholas cage?

[–]crackdog -1 points0 points ago

Personally I wouldn't piss on him, if he was on fire.

[–]anti_rage 11 points12 points ago

Man, I can't get enough Nick Cage. The man is so entertaining.

[–]Mapekus 2 points3 points ago

HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS TO SIR CAMERON PO!

[–]Scalping_Ahead 3 points4 points ago

It's like a Mcdonalds in a Wal-Mart... Best of both worlds!!!

[–]digivolution 5 points6 points ago

I like it. NICHOLAS CAGE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

edit: not nickelback though. they suck.

[–]vertexvortex 4 points5 points ago

Here to make the image more offensive.

[–]kafro 5 points6 points ago

[–]honi 4 points5 points ago

What a circle jerk of a joke. Something that isn't funny in itself but it gives everyone a chance to make a relevant joke and feel included

[–]Choooooch -4 points-3 points ago

It's funny if you think Nickelback or Nic Cage suck; if it's not funny to you, why take the time to post a comment? Don't you have a Nickelback concert to get to?

[–]honi 2 points3 points ago

You know what you're right, since laughter is subjective this can be funny, but this no way resembles a joke.

I post because i have thoughts on things.

[–]JamesEpep 7 points8 points ago

Cool more nickleback and nick cage jokes. How creative.

[–]FattyMcPatty 1 point2 points ago

Also ugg and croc jokes. I'm so impressed by the originality

[–]JamesEpep 1 point2 points ago

It's shameless pandering at its finest.

[–]FattyMcPatty 0 points1 point ago

They're even handing out downvotes. I'm shocked.

[–]remhawk99 -1 points0 points ago

There's even people posting sarcastic comments, implying that these jokes are beneath them. That's totally unpredictable.

[–]FattyMcPatty -1 points0 points ago

It's not even really about it being "beneath" anyone. It's just not funny. Trust me when i tell you my sense of humour is in no way refined, but you don't keep telling a joke after everyone already gets it.

We get it. People don't like these things. It stopped being funny a long time ago, like advice animals and sammich jokes.

[–]theorys 0 points1 point ago

IT'S GETTING BRAVE IN HERE....

[–]JamesEpep 0 points1 point ago

It just annoys me kind of, I feel like a post like this just doesn't contribute anything. It's just not my cup of tea. And I figured I'd leave a comment saying that to get a general feel for who agrees with me. And judging by the one or two down votes it got. Not many people saw nor did they agree with me

Edit: apparently I didn't get as many down votes as I thought I did.

[–]FarmerTedd -1 points0 points ago

I like Nickelback and Nic Cage's movies too man, it's okay.

[–]JamesEpep 0 points1 point ago

I like a few Nickleback toons, and say bad things about Nick Cage but he was pretty great in Kickass. People are entitled to like what they want but at this point I feel like it's just a trend to hate on nickleback and nick cage for some reason.

[–]FarmerTedd 1 point2 points ago

Was joking about nickelback and didn't know they had cartoons out there, but Family Man is one of my Christmas movie staples.

[–]TroggyD 1 point2 points ago

Don't care for Nickleback and I think Nick Cage have some decent movies out there (not recently). BUT what I DO care about is the Death Valley Sound Systems Killer Beats shirt the guy on the left is wearing. I have seen this shirt on House before and wanted one but can't fucking find it anywhere. anyone that can help out I greatly appreciate.
