I hope you're not talking about Renfield because I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nic Cage as Dracula was the only thing missing from my life.

Agreed, both Renfield and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent were such enjoyable movies. The latter was such a good meta take on his acting career, and Pedro Pascal was also great in it.

He knows exactly what he's doing

I get the feeling that this was true a few years back when he was pretty much broke and needed the money. Now he just mainly seems to choose roles that are fun to play and he seems to be having a blast doing it. And he did a lot of really entertaining movies in recent years: Mandy, Pig, Willy's Wonderland, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Color out of Space, Mom and Dad, Renfield.

Willy's Wonderland was a wild ride

Hold on there, that man is a national treasure.

I genuinely like that about him. He has a passion for acting.

He's gotta pay his tax bills somehow.

I'm wondering how much badjokeben is paying him to wear that hairpiece ad.

No one ever told him you can turn down a role.
