Spinning out of an earlier discussion, we thought we'd take a night to discuss the career of Nicolas Cage, who's spent a good deal of time in the genre realms -- GHOST RIDER, FACE/OFF, WILLY'S WONDERLAND, COLOR OUT OF SPACE, and who could forget SEASON OF THE WITCH?And were you aware of this thing where people put Nicolas Cage's face pretty much ... everywhere?

With the news that Christopher Walken has been cast as the Emperor in DUNE: PART TWO, we thought we'd take a moment to reflect on various... unexpected casting choices in cinematic history. Heath Ledger? Michael Keaton? What are some casting decisions that really flipped the script on a character?

Over the weekend, Mr. Harvey participated in the Independent Filmmakers Coalition's One Night Stand short film competition, and that got us thinking. With the fizzle of LIGHTYEAR, the slow decline of the Marvel films, and the 'franchise fatigue" that seems to be setting in, is it finally time for smaller movies to make a comeback?

There are quite a few "moments" — bits of story that stick with you for days, years, forever after. Great lines in movies, action sets, battle sequences, character interactions, etc. all sear themselves into our collective memories. They become iconic moments that define our perception of those stories. We quote them. We turn them into memes. They become cultural shorthand.And it's not limited to television and movies. There are moments like that in video games, comic book, and genre literature as well.

From a suggestion that came in via e-mail, tonight we're going to look at the concept of the character actor, and the value that such performers -- and their performances -- have in the overall scheme of good storytelling. And there have been quite a few significant character actors over the years.

He's considered one of the worst film directors of all time. The "German Ed Wood" to some. He made his bones on low-budget movies based on video games, and many consider them all to be ... well, less than stellar. He went away for a while, and now he's back.Uwe Boll is directing a film based on another case handled by Eliot Ness, and you can be sure people are going to have expectations.

We've touched on it before in discussions of various topics, and now we dial in our focus to the matter of the "grounded in reality" type of story. When the fantasy is set a little too close to home, when things look a little too much like our neighborhoods and cities, does that enhance your enjoyment? Or does it diminish your ability to escape into the story?
