Man National Treasure is KILLER, GREAT flick! They are making a sequel now and the original cast is all back.

I can't wait.

Yeah he was in town here for a few weeks filming at Mount Rushmore.  A friend of mine got in the movie as a FBI agent extra.  My mom also had to deal with a lot of the film crew at work.
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

Loved Nick in Con Air. I'd do him.

The problem with Con Air was Nic's "Alabama" Accent. I love the Movie and I love his attitude in the Movie (Cyrus: Do you know what I am? Cage: Ugly all day?)

But that has to be one of the worst southern accents I have EVER heard in a movie, second only to Stifler's in the Dukes Movie (GOD that was terrible!)

Mike DC

 
I agree the "Con Air" accent sucked and it really hurt the movie.  But I'm not sure it's so inaccurate.  I've heard some real-life accents that were pretty amazing.  In some cases, I never would have believed they were real if they had been coming out of the mouth of a well-known actor.

Hollwyood actors need to realize that sometimes they're better off not doing an accent at all than doing a bad or annoying one. 

Look at the Kevin Costner "Robin Hood" movie from about 15 years ago:  In most of the scenes in the movie Kevin Costner didn't seem to even try to sound British at all, and the movie worked fine.  I'd rather have listened to Kevin just sounding American than listen to him doing a bad job on the British accent for 2 hours.

lol I'm sure he would do you too, but he'll have to wait in line next to mikepmcs...lol

I'm a fan of his but I strongly advise you not to see "Sonny" which he directed.

He's in it as well and it's terrible.

A possibly little known fact is that Nic had his two front teeth pulled for a more authentic look in the film Birdy, he later removed them again for another equally insignificant film the title of which escapes me.

Personally I would say that it is much more gay to have no clue about rodeo or it's riders.  If you are truly not gay, names like Marvin Garret, Casey Tibbs, Etbauer (all of 'em), Lane Frost, and Ty Murray should be synonymous with names like Michael Jordan, Michael Shumacher, Dale Earnhardt, and Joe Montana.

I am curious as to how the self appointed TAGS come up with their gay criteria.  Wasn't it you OC who started a thread about getting your back waxed?  I can't remember if it was you or someone else.  And as for Ponch.  Who's more gay than Ponch (the guy not Mojo)?  I'm not sure that if I wanted to be manly I would take a screen name of a guy oozes gayness. :D

This is meant in good fun as I think that's how you meant it.

That's so funny Mike, I thought of the same movie when the accent deal came up. :rofl:

I agree with you 100%.  He should have just been Kevin and dismissed the accent cause he really hacked that one, but the movie was fine overall.

Nicolas Cage is an actor who is okay.  He can shine when he wants (Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Wild at heart) and he can be average (Gone in 60 Seconds, Con Air).

I still say that he is light years better than John Travolta who seems to play Vinnie Barbarino/Tony Manero/Danny Zuco in every movie he's in.

   I totally Disagree!!!    Check out Swordfish and the Punisher, Travolta plays an excellent Bad guy and I sure don't see Vinnie,Tony OR Danny in either of the afore mentioned movies caractors!

  As far as that goes I liked Cage and Travolta in Face Off!!
