The Salty Rogue

I hate Nicholas Cage.
















He's a terrible actor, an over-privileged Coppola, he married a preteen Asian girl and named his first-born after Superman. Really. I can't recall any movie (bar maybe Adaptation) in which he hasn't shat all over the silver screen and called it a job well done. For further reference see The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off. The Weatherman, however, was pretty damn good. I could almost recommend it.



This is a bit of dialogue that Nicholas Cage has with, well, himself....internal monologue, I suppose. It's pretty great.


Tartar sauce. Tartar sauce. Tartar sauce.
Tartar sauce, tartar sauce, tartar sauce, tartar sauce.
Man, how I'd like to put my face in there.
Right in there. Tartar sauce.
My hips are cold. Tartar sauce.
That's when you know it's cold.
I like eating pussy. Tartar sauce.
A lot of guys don't. Well, maybe they do.
Maybe that's just black guys. Tartar sauce.
What happened to the guy who was trying to go around the world...
...in a balloon? Did he make it?
I should put some espionage...
...or stolen plutonium in my novel. Tartar sauce.
Spice it up. Neil Young. Fuck, it's cold!
Neil Young? Why am I thinking about Neil Young?
Neil Diamond. Neil. There's not a lot of famous Neils.
Is this Wednesday? I wish I had two dicks.
I thought the whole family was going to learn Spanish together this year.
That never really happened.
I haven't had a Spanish omelet in a long time.
Here we go.
Anything else?
No.
Where is the tartar sauce?













Read the rest of the script here, or send Nic Cage a message. Yeah, do that.





I also recently watched All We are Saying, which is essentially Rosanna Arquette interviewing musicians. It was decent. I'm partial to the scene where Maynard Keenan (Tool) explains why monogamy is a lost cause.


..And here's some music for a Saturday morning...



Slint- Washer mp3


Pavement- Killing Moon (Live) mp3



Sebadoh- Skull (Acoustic) mp3






These have been posted around the interweb for ages, but they still make me laugh. Here's the steaming pile of femininity that we call 'the first lady.' Holy hell, she's an alien.















Grrrrrr

















Hmmm














And while I'm a proponent of female empowerment, by (almost) any means, I'm not sure that posing next to a massive winged death machine is really the way forward.














Maybe this purple, furry guy is more her speed. I find that it really 'humanizes her in the eyes of the average American.'
















Interesting article on The Untamed Bush as a human figure among a bunch of evil fuckers. Is she still "the only human face left in Washington?" Not too sure.



Happy Saturday!
