Really Sorry


Once again, we allow Nicolas Cage to befoul cinema.  This really should stop


Sounds like Jeremy's all set to review "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" without having actually bothered to watch the film.  This should be helpful and informative.


I'm not the only one who sees it.  Multiple websites exist that deal with the tragedy that is Nicolas Cage Acting.  There are also rumors that he's a vampire, but that's entirely beside the point. 

Today's Sametime Status deals with today's release of the latest deuce dropped on moviegoers everywhere by Nic, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance."  Normally, one expects a sequel to be made when a movie is good and deserves more.  Such is obviously not the case lately, with just about every movie that makes money earning its way back to the silver screen.  The original Ghost Rider film took in around $115M at the box office despite pulling in a whopping 26% Tomatometer, allowing some jerk of a movie executive somewhere to unleash more Cage.  You'll be pleased to know that the sequel did almost as well, currently riding a wave of positive reviews to a crowd-pleasing 12% Tomatometer.  Here are what some critics are saying about this mess:

  • "A movie made by morons for morons and the only thing it will leave viewers with is a desperate need for an aspirin"
    - Peter Sobczynski
  • "Shattering ineptitude"
    Devin Faraci
  • "'Let's just say good judgment's not my forte,' quips Cage at one point, although the line can also be applied in a broader sense."
    Robbie Collin

Sounds like a great time at the flickershows to me!  Ugh.

Also...seriously, people?  The guy is devil's bounty hunter, riding around on a motorcycle...fine.  When he's really putting his thing down, he's entirely on fire , okay.  Buy a guy who spends his afterlife on fire whose name in regular life is Johnny Blaze?!  Come on! 

I'm begging you, Hollywood.  Stop this!  Whatever we did to offend you, we're sorry.
