That's asking too damn much!

So, I watched Ghost Rider last night (don't you judge me!) and I can suspend my disbelief like a mofo, I love sci-fi and comics so suspension of disbelief is not a problem for me. That being said, this movie just asked too damn much!

I mean, selling your soul to the devil, okay, fine, whatever.

Becoming a flaming (no, not like that) monster that makes people relive the pain of people they've hurt, okay, great, they deserve it.

Suspension of disbelief firmly in place.

But asking me to believe that Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes are the same age is taking it too far! Watching Ghost Rider drive up buildings and explode the air with his chain of fire and I'm all "ooooh, fire, cool", but every time Johnny and Roxanne were on screen together I was like "I can't watch this shit!"

Also, Cage randomly sounding like an Elvis impersonator at various points of the film was extremely annoying.

*cries for the career of Wes Bentley*

try watching Jessica Biel falling in love with 'psychic who sounds an awful lot like a bad Elvis impersonator' Nic Cage in Next.

I couldn't even sit through trailers of NEXT because the idea of Jessica Biel kissing that thing made my skin crawl sooo much. Especially since he looked even crapper than usual in the trailer for that movie. I know it's like saying shit stinks MORE, but it's true.

Add in the fact that he gets the girl by using his psychic powers, ie, he can see two minutes into the future, so he keeps using bad pickup lines until he finds the words she wants to hear, and there's this whole creepy, manipulative vibe.

Great, because Cage and Biel wasn't creepy enough, they had to add in creepy manipulation. Dude, I am so glad I didn't see this movie. Just thinking about it is scaring me.

I just want to know why Hollywood keeps thinking Nic Cage is a bankable action star? It's like 'people, his *best* performance in the last decade was as Fu Manchu in the 'Werewolf Women of the SS' trailer in Grindhouse!!'.

I know! The guy looks like a date rapist, sounds like Elvis, and delivers about one line a minute in the SAME voice. I have trouble believing that Nic Cage could save money by switching to Geico let alone that he could save the world.

*sigh* Hollywood sucks.
