Nicolas Cage: But with audiences, there has been a core group that got it from the get go and they have been with me ever since. It does take some time. It does take some time with certain movies with the benefit of hindsight when they can see it in addition to BAD LIEUTENANT they might go “Oh, well maybe he actually did think WICKER MAN was funny…” (laughs)
...You don’t karate chop Leelee Sobieski in the throat and not know how absurd that is, but it’s just not something I would like to talk about. I would rather let them discover it on their own, but I think I learned a lot of that kind of off the wall kind of stuff watching Stanley Kubrick because his movies were incredibly funny, but you never really knew how much was planned or accident you know?
Quint: True. You look at something like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and you are not sure if you should be laughing at certain moments. It’s almost a commentary of the audience member where it’s like “What do you find funny?”
Nicolas Cage: Yeah. I am kind of amazed at the life THE WICKER MAN has generated because I knew being in a bear suit and doing those insane things with the character was doing would get talked about, but I didn’t know exactly how people would respond, but I had a feeling they were going to respond in a way that was going to have some impact, but I had no idea it was going to create this kind of internet sensation of bashing as well as laughter that it did and I’m quite thrilled about it. [Laughs]
Quint: I just saw on SNL within the last couple of weeks, they referenced the bees cut scene which I can’t remember another movie that had a deleted scene that became so widespread and so known.
Nicolas Cage: Well, what’s funny about that scene is… and this is interesting to talk about and this is the perfect place to talk about it… that little device they put on my head was designed on something that my grandfather had built. I can remember he built this fly catch thing out of a screen and it had this funnel and he would put things in it so that the flies would go into it, like sweet things, and he could catch flies.
As a child seeing this, like a four year old and a five year old seeing this, it was the most bizarre thing… and even now as I think about it, why on earth did he make it? It’s just a strange thing for my grandfather to be making, Robert Vogelsang, and it left an impact on me.
So I thought “Well, let’s build something like that and then put it on my head and he’s screaming about bees,” because I was basically doing this recall of something that my grandfather had made when I was four, so to me it was just so weird and oddly funny that I wanted them to build something like that to put on the character’s head in THE WICKER MAN.

nah
if they have their own solo games they'll be designed around that character
Like how Arkham Asylum makes you feel like you're Batman, whereas Marvel Ultimate Alliance makes you feel like you're hitting A/X/Y/B for every character
i'm saying you could do sections for each character and design it around their strengths and physical prowess
like donkey kong 64 or something but with segments where catwoman steals the goods, you switch to bane and bash in doors behind them to keep out guards and you smash on dudes and so forth
i mean, the engine's versatile enough to handle that
Coglio, he's not making fun of you. he's posting a picture of the artist who drew that drawing. he's rob lefield. was popular in the 90s. you can find a lot of blogs making fun of him. he sold a fuck load of comics so hatersgonnahate.gif

hey anjin have you tried the new Splinter Cell demo? i thought it was pretty dope. and it's nice that they're trying to make the game better and ready to rip down their old system to do it.
hopefully they bring multiplayer to what it was in Chaos Theory. or rather closer to that.(than Double Agent).

seriously if they just made the Pandora Tomorrow / Chaos Theory multiplayer with new graphics I'd play the shit out of it
it's like the only multiplayer game I've ever been all "hell yeah" about
man I want like an avengers game or something where you have missions or whatever and you can plan out your strategies or whatever ahead of time and have different ways of going through the same mission based on what kind of dudes you send at the problem or whatever
like you can send dudes to do a stealth takedown or you can just bust through a wall all ULTRON WE WOULD HAVE WORDS WITH THEE
this will never happen but it would be rad is what I'm saying

Not at all!
edit: She's closer to looking like Speed
it's a shame he doesn't seem all that prominent in stories
"Hey quicky speedy kid whatever. Get Tony his armor and me a chai latte thanks. You're a real hero."

Why does Captain America look like a fatty in a bad muscle costume there? Yikes. Pretty terrible.

now that'd be fun. it's not like the fighting mechanic is super difficult and couldn't handle two people beating up dudes
Oh come on, I'm all about the comic exaggeration but you have to admit that's pretty ridiculous.

A Secret Six game?
game companies want to be profitable
actually that'd be great
as for the new splinter cell co-op, that's pretty cool but it's gonna be weird playing it like a shooter
as for double agent, the co-op in that (for the first x-box, that is) was actually pretty fun
seriously if they just made the Pandora Tomorrow / Chaos Theory multiplayer with new graphics I'd play the shit out of it
it's like the only multiplayer game I've ever been all "hell yeah" about
but i liked being also sneaking and knocking out dudes too
this is more about blasting on dudes. it'll certainly be different i guess
WORD. man I wish more people played on 360 in that Chaos Theory thread that came up recently
anjin- did you ever play the Bourne game? again, i liked it from the demo
