"no one cares what you had for lunch" #54
Get defensive.
What do you love that no one else loves? Defend the indefensible.
I freaking love the movie Con Air. Yes, it's a terrible action movie designed to appeal to drunken fratboys. It's got hackneyed plots, terrible writing, and action sequences that beggar disbelief. But it's precisely because of all those reasons that it's so fun to watch. I would never buy it, but it comes on TNT with some regularity, and if I catch it, and I don't have plans, I'll always watch it. Usually with popcorn and beer.
I'm absolutely convinced that every single actor in it saw it as a huge, cheesy joke--with the possible exception of Nicholas Cage. And if he actually took it seriously, well that's even funnier! Come on, you can't tell me Nick Chinlund wasn't laughing his ass off between takes of this scene. I'd love to see the outtakes:

Well, if it's pathetic you're in good company. See, I don't like The Rock because it seems like it was actually taking itself seriously... it lacked that self-aware "Look, we both know how terrible this movie is, but it's fun" quality that Con Air had.
I didn't see National Treasure 2, but if I had to guess what happened to his hair: plugs. The only thing scarier than Cage's hair are his teeth, they look like Chiclets.
If you want to see some really so-terrible-it's-AWESOME Nic Cage action, check out that terrible re-make of The Wicker Man.
