07.16.09 NIC CAGE HAS A GREAT IDEA, EVERYONE!
Nic Cage recently sat down with MTV, who asked him about the possibility of Ghost Rider 2. Cage was cagey (hee hee, wordplay!), but says he wants it to happen, and thinks it should be less a sequel and more a “reconceive.” Yay, I love it when he nouns verbs!
MTV: So what exactly would you want to re-conceptualize?
Cage: I would make it much less of a western, and more of an international story. [Ghost Rider was a western? -Ed.]
MTV: So you’re more interested in Europe, and the church, and that sort of a thing?
Cage: Yeah.
So there you have it, Nic Cage wants to make a movie about a biker with a flaming skull, reconceived in such a way that it would involve the Catholic Church. But honestly, the best part of this interview was Nic Cage looking this thoughtful:
While sitting next to this picture:
So tell us, Mr. Cage, what sort of Eastern philosophies did you draw on for your role as Speckles the Star-Nosed Mole? Was it a method performance? Did you do a lot of Tai Chi? Perhaps a master cleanse to clear your mind? Please, take us into your process.

The Da Vinci Rode?
HOW’D IT GET BURNED?! HOW’D IT GET BURNED?!
You have a flaming skull for a head…what the f@#k do you think?
Hells Angels & Demons?
Angels & Speed Demons?
All he means is that he wants the German guy in the sequel who’s helping El Guapo to take over Santo Poco.
Nic Cage is such a fantastic self-parody. It makes you wonder if he’s been pulling some kind of Joaquin Phoenix-esqe performance art piece for the past 10 years.
G-Force stands for Gerbil Force which stands for the appropriate force to shove a Gerbil in your ass. Enjoy kids.
The way Nic’s hairline keeps receding, he’s not gonna need any makeup to look like a skull. And he’s got that satanic henchman bit covered too.
Listen, I’m not going to beat around the bush. Ghost Rider is the worst big-budget superhero movie ever. Worse than Spider Man 3, worse than both Hulk films, worse than the Fantastic Four sequel. Bottom line is that if you liked Ghost Rider, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
How about Angels and Demo? The DaVinci Explode? Vatican Dangerous?
Fine, it’s more comfortable in the corner anyway…
I make the “Nic Cage thoughtful face” when I poop. The fingers go in my nose sometimes.
MTV: So Mr. Cage, it would be fair to say after your last 8 or so performances, you’ve really become the joke of Hollywood. Your thoughts?
Cage: What?! HOW’D I GET SPURNED?! HOW’D I GET SPURNED?! HOW’D I GET SPURNED?!
MTV: Fanfuckingtastic.
I never saw Ghost Rider, but how could something be worse than X-3?
I’M A YOUTUBE REFERENCE, BITCH.
Nic Cage should make a Ghost Writer movie, where his disembodied head manipulates text to give teenagers clues to where his career is buried.
Ghost Rider sequel? TOO LATE, TOO LATE, TOO LATE.
(If you haven’t seen Vampire’s Kiss, you’re missing out.)
atty Boo, not to go into too much detail because I’m not sure my blood pressure can take it, but he’s a stunt driver who drinks jelly beans out of a martini glass who’s recruited by the devil played by a great actor that’s been forced to sound like a Campbell’s Soup-loving pederast and fights a guy who could be the lead singer of Good Charlotte when he’s not too busy checking out his head floating over some buff guy’s body in the mirror.
Wouldn’t this really just be Face-off 3:Face Offerer???
You’re welcome, internet.
SmokEm…Nic’s Son is trying for that Satanic Henchmen thing a bit too hard:

I’ll lay down my $9.50 right now if they “reconceive” it with the Farrelly brothers directing and call it Ghost Rider 2: Flaming Idiot.
Harley DaVincison?
@Donkey
You ever see Elektra? Or Punisher War Zone? Or LXG?
Those make Ghost Rider look like Sin City.
@Donkey Again
Not to mention Tank Girl and Spawn. Now don’t get me wrong, I’d rather wipe my ass with steel wool than watch Ghost Rider again but there have been worse comic book movies. Way worse.
mokeE
LXG wasn’t as bad as Ghost Rider (although I should have included it in the list of awful big budget superhero films above). Admittedly, I haven’t seen the other two, but you could have made two PWZ and an Elektra for GR’s budget.
I’d watch Spawn on repeat for four full days just to laugh at Martin Sheen’s performance. Tank girl once again falls short of the “big budget” angle I was going for.
The Spirit was atrocious too…though its budget prolly isn’t Ghost Rider high.

Verbing weirds language.
