ebert on cage: still true
There are often lists of the great living male movie stars: De Niro, Nicholson and Pacino, usually. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. No one else can project inner trembling so effectively. Recall the opening scenes in "Leaving Las Vegas." See him in Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead." Think of the title character in "The Weather Man." Watch him melting down in "Adaptation." And then remember that he can also do a parachuting Elvis impersonator ("Honeymoon in Vegas"), a wild rock 'n' roller ("Wild at Heart"), a lovesick one-handed baker ("Moonstruck"), a straight-arrow Secret Service agent ("Guarding Tess") and on and on.
He always seems so earnest. However improbable his character, he never winks at the audience. He is committed to the character with every atom and plays him as if he were him. His success in making Charlie Kaufman a neurotic mess and Donald Kaufman a carefree success story, in the same movie, comes largely from this gift. There are slight cosmetic differences between the two: Charlie usually needs a shave, Donald has a little more hair. But the real reason we can tell the twins apart, even when they're in the same trick shot, comes from within: Cage can tell them apart. He is always Charlie when he plays Charlie, always Donald when he plays Donald. Look and see.

Oh your poorly trained shelter dog you got in 2020 doesn’t handle fireworks well? Does he also constantly try to bite strangers at restaurants whenever you insist on taking him, which happens to be every single time you go out? Is he actually “super friendly if you get to know him” too?

It’s hard to explain this but Sliwa is a bad leader and a terrible individual—in many ways a harbinger of the violent indecency that plagues America—and yet great at being a New Yorker.

Very sad that the "Return of the Trash Revolutions" images featured at today's Sanitation presser are attributable to the current mayor's team
Mayor Adams and the head of the Sanitation department at a press conference celebrating progress in the war on rats and modernization of NYC trash collectionReturn of the Trash Revolution signs, featuring Luke Skywalker placing a bag of trash in a container, and "Ratta the Hut" behind a no signal

If you spend any material time in airport lounges you aren’t very good at traveling; the idea time to clear security is when they start boarding first class.

The parked cars are what make this dangerous. We need more concrete barriers protecting bike lanes and less parking
