positive · AI labelView post →New Projector review! Nicolas Cage loses his shirt - and everything else - as The Surfer, which isn't about surfing at all, and more about riding against the current of toxic masculinity. It's every kind of Nic Cage performance all rolled into one very strange, divisive package. youtu.be/IFLMx6NDNVM

neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen his performance alongside Nicolas Cage in The Surfer, released only two months ago, you absolutely should, because he is fantastic in that movie as the embodiment of controlling and manipulative toxic masculinity. Just oozing quiet menace.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, Final Destination is scripted, as is The Surfer. That's 5,000 words total. Will film those as soon as poss.
neutral · AI labelView post →Filmed my review of The Surfer. The time spent scripting has made filming time really speed up a lot: managed to film in about an hour or so.
neutral · AI labelView post →It occurs to me that Pig is one of those Cage ventures, like The Surfer, where you think you’re getting one kind of movie and instead you get something else entirely, and it probably takes multiple viewings to sort out how you feel about it. #hatm
neutral · AI labelView post →“The Surfer” is in Irish cinemas May 9th. I had the good luck to catch this at Cannes last year. A snapshot of masculinity in crisis, and another of Lorcan Finegan’s studies of the strange hold places have on us, “The Surfer” is a delight. Perfect midnight madness movie. youtu.be/A7Bo6cyfWho?...
positive · AI labelView post →Get the book @sgj.bsky.social compared to Canterbury Tales AND Hot Tub Time Machine Get the book Nic Cage's new movie The Surfer ripped off (MAYBE I haven't seen it yet) Get the audiobook my dad called "ANNOYING"
neutral · AI labelView post →The Surfer is an excellent film. If you like surfing films (I do) and films where Nic Cage loses his mind (I do) you’ll love it.

neutral · AI labelView post →37. The Surfer: I love a good Nicholas Cage Having a Bad Time movie but this one is a bit one dimensional desperate to shock you. I saw this in a theater that was empty except for me and a very elderly woman who kept saying things like "Oh dear hahaha disgusting! Hahaha!" She was having a great time
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 3 of #100DaysofHorror: The Surfer (2024), by Lorcan Finnegan. The director of Vivarium made a movie starring Nicolas Cage? Surely this will be normal

neutral · AI labelView post →So is Marvel just sweeping Kelly Koh Silver Surfer under the rug? As it was strange Marvel making her the Surfer when Shalla Bal was it in the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not my favourite but we're watching The Surfer right now, which is simultaneously a psychological thriller and a Christmas movie And it's Australian

neutral · AI labelView post →This does feel very much a four person film, every other role besides the Surfer is tiny (when Sarah Niles got like 5th or 6th credit for basically standing around a couple of times, I almost laughed). Not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, but an enjoyable sweet vibe.
neutral · AI labelView post →letterboxd.com/1thestickman... Watched 'The Surfer' at the cinema. Another batshit genre offering for the Nicolas Cage canon. Beautifully filmed, great sound design and often very fun. Ultimately it goes on too long in the middle, and makes no sense by the end, but it's still entertaining in parts.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the MANY MANY trailers was for the FF movie and everyone who whined about Shalla Bal being the Surfer needs to stfu and go sit on a drifting ice floe
neutral · AI labelView post →Want to see a movie this weekend, but you're bored by Marvel and you've seen Sinners already? Go check out The Surfer, the latest Cage joint! I still don't quite know what to make of it, so I am curious what y'all think.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you want to watch a Nicolas Cage movie then I am once again begging every single one of y’all to watch The Surfer directed by Lorcan Finnegan. One of my all time favorite movies from this decade.
positive · AI labelView post →When watching Fantastic Four, just like the comics version, I wondered exactly how old the Silver Surfer could be. I appreciate that @charlessoule.bsky.social touched on that in First Foes Shalla Bal. The Surfer is a very complex character in comics and I'm glad the movie conveyed that also.
neutral · AI labelView post →Grade: B+ I am not sure why they needed to have FF come from an alternate universe but since it looks like they’ll be in the next Avengers movie I can get past it. Loved the casting & look & feel of the movie. I was not crazy about the Surfer changes initially but I got past it.

She does exist in the comic books as well. There’s source material to back her up. So I’m excited to see how they bring that to the film world.”

neutral · AI labelView post →THE SURFER gives nicolas cage some classic nicolas cage material to work with AND director lorcan finnegan is great with claustrophobia... i just wish the movie had a better sense of its own ideas
neutral · AI labelView post →If you can see The Surfer in theaters, definitely do so. Coastal Australia looks awesome in this film. Funny enough, The Surfer is based on incidents in Southern California, not in Australia.

positive · AI labelView post →In U.S. theaters now, THE SURFER sees Nicolas Cage continue his renaissance, as director Lorcan Finnegan filters his lead's slow descent into paranoid madness through a Frank Perry lens. My review from Cannes last year: www.scannain.com/review/revie...

neutral · AI labelView post →Nicolas cage's new movie The Surfer is actually worth a watch. B-movie but good. 7/10.
positive · AI labelView post →That was Fantastic Four 4️⃣ for me. Loved the Kirbyesque feel & tributes in that film. Thought I was going to hate the casting & how they were going to do Galactus & the Surfer, but they all grew on me.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie game is cooking right now. I didn’t look at the trailer for The Surfer and thought it was going to be straight to streaming action slop. But it’s not. It’s nutso Nic Cage reminding me why he’s awesome like 20% of the time, and while I’ll always give him a chance.
positive · AI labelView post →I know Silver Surfer and his boss, Galactus, in the form of a space cloud, were in the third movie The Surfer works really well. But, surely tech back in 200x was better than the giant people technology used in 1950-60s scifi movies.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was a late convert to the art of Nicolas Cage. But I think he has mastered the portrayal of mid-life masculinity in meltdown - in the way Michael Douglas did in the 90s, in Falling Down, The Game, and others. First ‘Dream Scenario’, then ‘The Surfer’, in cinemas now. It’s a great film. Go see it.
