Talking of his shite films through, what was that one he did about the Rapture? Genuinely one of the worst films I've ever seen. 

Left Behind. THE worst film I've ever seen.

Was that the ridiculous one with the time capsule thing that predicts all the natural disasters and then ended with fucking aliens or something?

That's the one. Probably a straight tie with Battlefield Earth for me.

That's also a big heap of shit but Gnomy is right, it was Left Behind I was thinking of

[JSmurphy]

David Lynch and Nicolas Cage. This is it chief.

This year when Kylie brought out Nick Cave, my wife said to me “oh my god it’s Nick Cage”

I had this image pop up in my head, the greatest entrance ever.

Con Air is the best alone for that slow-mo shot of Cage running, getting shot, and not breaking stride. 10/10.

Apologies if I’m misreading bookies odds but Taylor, Paul and Kendrick are now the favourites on William Hill right?

Have you seen The Wicker Man (Nick Cage 2006 remake)? That's the worst film I've ever seen. I was in hysterics in the cinema but sadly for them, it isn't a comedy.

They are indeed. And I'm sure this very thread has a lot to do with that.

Another one with no mention of Aerosmith.

I have. still not as bad as Left Behind though. I was actually angry at the end of that when I realised I'd been conned into watching a film with a dubious "religious message".

[Gnomicide]

Double post.

THANK YOU!! Such a genuinely terrible film.

This is really special viewing for all you Nic Cage fanatics

Not sure where this is from. He's got a rep for being a bit of a prima donna and by his own admission was unpleasant to those close to him during his cocaine years, but I can't recall hearing about him behaving badly on stage with his audience.

And besides, the farm has seen many an act who has a reputation with them. They coped with Kanye well enough.

My suspicion is the reality is a lot less exciting than the myths.

He humiliated a steward at a concert in Gloucester a couple of years ago. She was stopping people from moving from seats and he picked her out and called her 'Hitler' as part of a tirade  - to the point where she was crying. He then apologised and got her on stage to overcompensate.

There was the incident in Vegas where he stormed off after being annoyed by a fan who he had invited onto stage ... 

I know its the Reg Fan Club on here, but hes a strop waiting to happen I reckon.

Let’s just take a moment to consider the holy trinity of high concept 90’s action films:

The Rock - Con Air - Face/Off

Just screen each one at headliner time on the Pyramid and folk will be happy. Trust me.

In those three films you described one of my cultural cornerstones of the 90s.

Cage recs not mentioned; Joe, Bringing Out The Dead, Adaptation, Mom and Dad.

And if you want to see Cage SWING for the fences, Vampires Kiss is the film for you, you won't say the alphabet in the same way again.

I saw them at festival 3 months ago and thought they were very meh. 
 

They’re not glasto 50th headline material. 

Would put money on them getting a bigger crowd than Kendrick though. 

I dislike the notion that just because its the 50th, it has to be special. I think it'll lead to a fair few disappointed people on here when we don't get all the special acts and secret sets. I'm still waiting it to be Foals/1975/Taylor. 

[Quark]

In the interests of maintaining something approaching sanity, can we agree that there needs to be some form of Nic Cage representation at Glastonbury, and go back to arguing over Foals vs 1975?

[Skoo]

I'm hot for Reg. A bit of drama on the Pymild would be rather entertaining.

What about a bit of Phil Collins - same sort of vein as Reg, all the hits, did a bit of a tour recently.

All of the realistic headliners are deemed ‘not special enough’ so they are going to lose on that front. I find it baffling that the standard is so high that Paul McCartney is not considered special enough!

[eFestivals]

the fact that no acts are being deleted from the betting means that no one is putting on money with any certainty - not even the people who claim to know.

because when you *REALLY* know you pile on money and more money because it's guaranteed free money ... and who doesn't like free money?

So no one knows.

I'd forgotten about his cameo in Kick Ass and his legendary "switch to kryptonite" line too
