Jay Baruchel, Monica Bellucci and the Continuing Adventures of Nic Cage's Hair

Every time I think about The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, I get a severe case of the eye twitches. It pains me. It’s a live-action remake/re-imagining of a classic, wonderful bit of Fantasia. The very concept makes me grit my teeth to cracking. It stars Nic Cage, a man who hasn’t shown a shred of integrity in years. It’s directed by Jon Turtletaub, the guy responsible for both National Treasure films.

And God help me, it looks kind of fun.

You see, it also has a pretty great cast, other than Nicolas Cage’s scary-ass wig, which he appears to have borrowed from the crazy cat lady. Alfred Molina, Monica Bellucci (gulp), Alice Krige, and of course Jay Baruchel, whose particular brand of nerdy/geeky nasal drone for some reason hasn’t worn out its welcome yet. And, well, it just looks like it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and, well, maybe will be sort of enjoyable? Besides, we all know that crazy Cage is the best Cage (although… I’m not positive there isn’t just crazy Cage nowadays).

[hangs head in shame]

Oh, fuck all of you. Just watch the new goddamn trailer and shut your goddamn cakeholes.

It certainly looks a lot more enternaining than "Airbender".

Its a trick. It has to be a trick. There is no way it is going to be as good as it looks. It is just not possible. Fuck I hope it is.

The boy will not stop laughing at me for wanting to see this. FUCK IT.

Can I have that car when the movie's over?

The only way this could be better: bring Keith David's Dr. Facilier in as a side villain.

Given the horrid state of Summer '10, I gotta hope this is at least fun.

yeah, i won't even pretend to be cool enough to laugh at this movie. I WANT TO SEE IT. i have a sort of geek-crush on Jay Baruchel, and i enjoy of the Crazy Cage.

I guess you can blame Goethe for writing the Sorcerer's Apprentice and thereby inspiring the Fantasia people and thus leading to this inevitable end. ^_^

I'm holding out just the tiniest, weakest bit of hope that this will be a fun movie, but trying not to hope too hard.

Why is it a law of Hollywood that every movie has to have a young boring whitebread protagonist? Just make this movie about Nic Cage and Nic Cage's hair. Maybe throw in some bees.

Where did they find the actress who looks like a hybrid of Scarlett Johannson, Kristin Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Winslet? Have they perfected human cloning without telling us? Freaky.

This trailer contains a Nut Shot.

That's always a sign of quality, right?

That's like questioning Cage's hair. You don't ask questions, you merely accept the fact that it is and that at some point in the future it may become sentient and take over the world. Cage's hair, that is.

mmmmmmm Monica Bellucci...

Alfred Molina, chewing scenery being bad? I'm there.

I think we know what the Summer Movie is this year.

Has anyone Else seen The Trotsky? 'Cause Jay Baruchel is fucking great in that. I will be a lifelong fan for that reason, and I will make myself see this movie.

I think Monica Bellucci is probably the most beautiful person ever to exist. She's fucking perfect.

Posted by: Kate the Great at June 10, 2010 5:19 PM

OH MY GOD, and she's married to Vincent Cassel. If those two would go to bed with me, I could die happy and very, very satisfied.

I think it looks dumb.

Nic Cage has not borrowed the wig off the crazy cat lady, he has ripped it bleeding from the scalp of Chad Kroeger!!11 (one can hope, can't one?)

Soundtrack by Depeche Mode? Interesting...
