Mitchieville’s Mad Manic MesmErizing Mystery Movie
Paul Mitchell – who posted this pretty impressive piece entitled – Taxes – The Difference Between Right and WRONG and The Male Man, BOTH correctly identified last week’s mystery movie. Considering the prize pool for our mystery movie game consists of, well, nothing really, both these gentlemen will receive a firm handshake from The Mayor for a job well done, and not one but TWO blue privilege tokens via Fenris Banwulf.
Lucky.
This week’s movie is one of many Nicholas Cage movies that sucked. That’s hardly a hint by any means, and it doesn’t narrow anything down in the least, but it is a Cage movie and as such, should be thrown into the steaming pile of garbagio Cage movies to date. Let’s face it folks, we all like Nicholas Cage, but he is a terrible actor and can’t deliver a line if his life depended on it. The truth is a painful pill, but it’s time we swallowed it and moved the hell along.
The Mayor will now attempt to give you the plot summary of this most convoluted and ridiculous movie:
Seth (Cage) is spotted by a heart surgeon (Meg Ryan – ya, she’s a heart surgeon – giggle, guffaw!) in an operating room, they fall in love and nothing worth a warm turd happens. Fini.
Quick, fan The Mayor, I feel faint.
I do have a memory of this movie, but it doesn’t involve the actual movie, but instead it involved the snack bar and how some plump, zit-faced, creature tried to short change The Mayor from a $10 bill he gave her. I ordered a Coke or something, and seeing as though it was the theatre, it came to $8.95. So the plump broad gave me back 40 cents or whatever and I called her out on it. After consulting her abacus and the internet, she realized that she was stupid and gave me back the full change she owed me. I took that story back to the theatre and TLDG and I talked loudly about that episode the whole time the movie was showing. Seeing as though this movie was more painful than root canal, EVERYONE in the theatre got in on our conversation and not one solitary soul watched another second of this 1.5 hour waste of time.
That’s enough hints, I’ve pretty much given the whole thing away.
Soooooo, any idea what this week’s mystery movie is?

Wild guess, City of Angels, because that is the only movie that I know with Cage and Ryan.
Thanks for the link, too.

My wifes guess is city of angels. I’ve never seen it thank you for saving my life.
Maybe if the mayor is lucky he can get a privilege token from Fenris.

Fenris is rather persnickity about priviledge tokens, you have to do sometihng awfully special to get one. And this post isn’t awfully special, as you just read.

The only movie I remember with Nick Cage was Moonstruck. Cher’s dad was a plumber and recognized a good job with copper pipe when he saw it.
So it’s worth seeing, sometimes the library has these old films in its DVD section.
copper. mmmmmmm feel the glow of copper. It loves us.

I regret never having seen this movie.
I once watched “Leaving Las Vegas” starring Nicky Cage,and have never been so underwhelmed by a performance since “Little Miss Marker”, in which Shirley Temple sang and danced her way into the hearts of everyone in the family but me.
I’ll have to borrow Andy’s old default position: “Dances With Shues”.

Dances With Shues caught The Mayor off guard. I haven’t had a chuckle like that since the time I saw a midget get his head stuck in a cast iron fence about three years ago.
Good times.
Marc – I’ll have to think back to all the movies that have copper or some other type of warm metal in them. Full Metal Jacket doesn’t count, cuz metal isn’t warm like copper.

“300″: where the Greeks should have been wearing bronze, to match their makeup, and/or tans.
