Better Actor? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I voted for Nicolas Cage only because Keanu Reeves manages to stay off the bottom of the barrel by standing on Kevin Costners shoulders.

Keanu and good actor in the same line... it just feels wrong

"You want me to play what, Robert?"

Hmm whos the better D list actor? Probably Kiano... Quiano....Keyannoe? But Nicolas Cage has got to be the most overrated, and terribly overrated at that, actor in a long time. I stick out my tongue and blow raspberries at them both .

1 Chronicles 13:7-9

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

Seriously? LOL

Darqdean, I meant Wings of Desire was the original, and the Hollywood version was the travesty that was completely uncalled for...can't remember it's name nor do I care to. It was a stripped down version complete with a brazen classic Hollywood sex by the fireside scene...I'm sorry, but Hollywood has yet to master the art of "subtlety". WoD is a beautiful film, but this version didn't do any justice to the original.

It was called City of Angels and Wim Wenders wrote the screenplay for that too

What?

Nicholas Cage, because he's better AND he gets the sh*t beat out of him every movie he's in!

I vote for Cage, mainly because of his excellent performance as two identical twin brothers in "Adaptation."

Oh! That movie was good! I take back what I said about Cage Embarrassed

However, if I see him b*****dize another foreign movie again (Wings of Desire), I'll boycott his movies for life!

Of course, like Brando and De Niro, they are both exponents of Method Acting and through the Stanislavski System they were taught that to act their way out of a paper bag, first they had to imagine they were the paper bag, then to learn to feel as the paper bag and finally to become the paper bag. Sadly, they both dropped out of the The Actors Studio at that moment and are now forever trapped in the character of the paper bag.

Anyway, my vote goes to Keanu for his multi-dimensional portrail of Jonathan Harker (2 is more than 1 so qualifies as multi) and his astounding grasp of the English accent (equal only to Johnny Depp IMHO) in the film Nicolas Cage's Uncle's Draclua. And for his playing of Ted Logan in the classic film The Matrix, which is easily one of the films ever made, until the next one came out, then that was, except the last one, which I haven't seen yet, unless it was called Johnny Mnemonic's Bogus Adventure on Speed - in which case he would have made a great Sailor Ripley in Wild At Heart (or was it Captain Coreli's Alien). Sorry, what was the question?

But then Nicolas Cage did make John Travolta look good in Face Off didn't he - or was it the other way around?

Travolta is an excellent actor and a lot better than Reeves. Reeves is in my opinion nothing but a beau; he can't act for sour apples.

BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

i liked "The Rock" and that's the only movie I remember right now from the two so...Cage.
