Nic Cage is in Romania shooting Ghost Rider 2 this week, and you would think he’d feel right at home there, given his well-known preference for bordello-style housing. (Bordellos are Romanian, right?  That sounds right.)  But judging by the video below, it appears that he got in some sort of fight, or loud argument there.  I like to imagine it was over poorly-made toast, and the part of the video you don’t see is him demanding to know why it might be burned.  Here’s some of what you do see:

(Painful because the soup doesn’t look very yummy [this is my new favorite line of a review -ed.] and every slurp is given the deafening, digital sound treatment of a stampeding “Jurassic Park” dinosaur.)
